      <image:title>Blog - How to Style and Design the Perfect Thanksgiving Table Scape - How to create the most beautiful fall table scape</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is no secret that I absolutely love MacKenzie Child's! They are by far one of my favorite decor retailers and I love their unique take interior design with bold florals and of course, Courtly Check. Not to mention their flagship store and Victorian home is nestled in the coveted Finger Lakes in Upstate New York and visiting their store and the town of Aurora is the quintessential small town experience with a taste of luxury. You'll definitely want to plan a little getaway at the Inns of Aurora (the spa is a dream!) and certainly stop at MacKenzie Childs!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Style and Design the Perfect Thanksgiving Table Scape - How to Design the Perfect Table Scape</image:title>
      <image:caption>Start with beautifully designed plates! I began with Mackenzie Childs Courtly Check Enamel Dinner Plates (my personal favorite pattern.) I layered with the SOHO salad plate in cloud. These plates are uniquely designed in Portugal and future a texture surface made from random drops of wax that gives it a matte and glossy finish. Next, I used the Courtney Check Breakfast Bowl layered with a simple white napkin wrapped in the Polka Pumpkin Napkin Rings. The beading on these rings is intricate and well designed- the perfect finishing touch.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Style and Design the Perfect Thanksgiving Table Scape - The Center Piece</image:title>
      <image:caption>Creating a center piece that was beautiful to view but didn't obstruct the eye line of my guests was an important part of why I designed my table scape with low decor. I personally do not like when you cannot have conversation with your family and friends because you cannot see them-isn't that the point of sharing a meal? When I was designing this table I knew I wanted to tie in the Courtly Check with autumn colors and the Autumn Frost Garland with the Elegant Stripe Pumpkin was the perfect touch.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Affordable Christmas Decor Ideas - EASY Dining Room Table Decor</image:title>
      <image:caption>A simple way to make a huge Christmas impact in your dining room is to dress up your dining table scape.

      <image:caption>I was looking to dupe the popular velvet ornament I could not find anywhere! So I DIYed them with my boys and I love how they look. You will need: Glass ornaments Acrylic Paint (I have this large pack) Baking Powder Rub n' Buff Brushes Gold spray paint Directions: Simply add a little baking powder to your paint to thicken it (a constancy that is still easy to brush on) and paint the ornaments your desired colors. You will have to do a few coats but it does not need to be perfect! Once almost dried brush on some more baking powder and then brush off. LIGHTLY dry brush on the Rub n' Buff (add as much or as little as you want.) Spray paint the tops gold to match. Add ribbon and done! That easy!</image:caption>

I like to use runners or non-traditional bathmats to add in an extra interest , and finally little decor items that can also be functional such as vases, tissue covers and interesting towel racks!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - how to design an open plan living space. - Cohesive Color Palette</image:title>
      <image:caption>When designing an open concept space it is important to keep in mind that you will see each "space" from each area. In order to keep a line of light and use a cohesive color palette in all the spaces. Choose one color palette to flow throughout your entire space. A good general rule is to select and stick to one palette of three to five colors – one white or light color, one to two neutrals, and one to two supporting colors Paint the ceilings all one color and trim all one color for cohesion-ceiling in flat, and trim in semi-gloss If painting rooms with cased openings a different color, they should come from the same color palette Have a dominate neutral to keep the space open &amp; light</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Create "rooms" or zones within the space using an area rug. This will ground the zone. Float large furniture in the room that acts as a "divider" for the different zones. Such as sofas with console tables behind to create a division Use light fixtures above the center of the space to help to identify what that space is used for ie: "dining space"</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Mixing rugs can be tricky especially in an open concept space! Here are some easy tips to help pull your space together and keeping the color scheme in mind Mix natural fiber, neutral rugs with various other textured rugs for variation and depth in your design. Use a bold statement rug for your main rug. The other rugs should complement your main rug in some way and not compete with it. Pull a lighter color from your main rug and use it in a tone on tone patterned rug Pick one rug with a large scale pattern and opt for a small scale pattern for the other rug.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - how to design an open plan living space. - Mixing Finishes</image:title>
      <image:caption>One great way to keep a cohesive space is to mix textiles including metals, &amp; wood tones. The largest rule is to repeat the same color or tone at least twice in the space. For example, if you want to mix wood tones- light and dark you must repeat those tones at least twice to allow your eye to follow the room. Here are some great ideas for choosing lighting! Like rugs, lighting can help to define a space and provide perceptive into it's usage Add some variation in size, shape, and style of lighting Mix metals finishes, but don’t mix more than three different finishes. Mix the overall size to create a curated look: large in the living room, small or medium the kitchen, and small or medium in the dining room. Make sure each fixture has the same underlying essence: don’t mix something ultra modern with something ultra traditional Use light fixtures above the center of the space to help to identify what that space is used for ie: "dining space"</image:caption>

You never have to worry about rustling through spatulas, and spoons to find exactly what you need quickly. I also love to uses small containers, especially for my junk drawer! We all have one, right?

      <image:caption>For counter tops, I love to use spice racks, pedestals, trays, and decorative utensil containers along with salt and pepper mills. These help to save space and keep the counters clean and free of clutter. Next to the sink, using decorative soap containers, keeps a consistent look with your aesthetic and adds both texture and functionality to your sink. Utensils can look unsightly on the counter but if you add them to an unexpected container such as a decorative vessel it adds a pop of interest to the space. Finally, I love to use beautiful salt &amp; pepper mills of stone bowls and spoons next to the stove for easy access and "curb appeal."</image:caption>

Choose clear containers (glass is more eco friendly) that come in multiple shapes and sizes to allow for various items to be stored. You can easily find labels for containers on Amazon or make your own with label stickers and a Sharpie. For children, use clear bins and turntables to access snacks and anything you needed hidden, use wicker baskets with a decorative.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Measure before you buy. You know how they say "measure twice, cut once?" Well, the same applies to curtains. You want to measure the width, &amp; length of you window prior to ordering. You want to make sure your curtains extend 6 inches above the window and at least 8"-12" past the frame. Hang at least 6 inches above window. Make sure the rod is at least 6 inches above the window frame. This will give the illusion that the ceilings are higher. Extended at least 8 inches past the frame. You want to make sure your curtains extend at least 8-12 inches past the window frame. This will widen the window and give the illusion there is more light. Touching the floor. Make sure your curtains just touch the floor (you can have a puddled look too but not more than 3" on the floor.) This is why step 1 is so important. You do not want your curtains too long or it won't look tailored.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Don't hang the curtain right above the window. This will make the ceiling feel low and closes in the room. Make sure your rod extends past the window to give the illusion the window is larger. Make sure your curtains touch the floor. If they are too short they will shorten the space and make the room feel disjointed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to mix vintage &amp;amp; modern furniture &amp;amp; decor perfectly- Decorating Ideas &amp;amp; Inspiration - Step 1: Color Palette</image:title>
      <image:caption>Begin by selecting a neutral color palette for your walls, floors, and larger pieces of furniture. Neutrals provide a clean and versatile backdrop for both vintage and modern elements. Then, choose a color scheme: Start by choosing a color scheme that works well with both vintage and modern decor. After your decide on your neutrals like white, black, beige and gray, then you can add a pop of color to make your space more vibrant. I personally love to use Canva's FREE color palette creator (which I teach you in this "Beginner's Guide to Interior Design eBook.") and Sherwin Williams Color ID Quiz!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to mix vintage &amp;amp; modern furniture &amp;amp; decor perfectly- Decorating Ideas &amp;amp; Inspiration - Step 2: Mix Materials &amp; Textures</image:title>
      <image:caption>Mix Materials: Incorporate a variety of materials, such as wood, metal, glass, and textiles, to add depth and texture to the space. One example is to pair a sleek modern glass coffee table with vintage leather armchairs or you can pair a sleek modern sofa with a vintage rug or add a rustic wooden coffee table to a contemporary living room. Try to have at least 3 pieces that represents both modern and vintage items to spread around the room for cohesiveness. I also recommend making sure any wood tones coordinate (do they read warm or cool) and you do not have too many metal colors (try to stick to 2-3!) Mixing textures is an excellent way to blend vintage and modern decor.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to mix vintage &amp;amp; modern furniture &amp;amp; decor perfectly- Decorating Ideas &amp;amp; Inspiration - Step 3: Identify a Dominant Style:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Decide whether you want the vintage or modern style to dominate the space. This will help you establish a clear direction for your decor. For example, you can have a modern room with vintage accents or vice versa. Its all about balancing the old and new: It's essential to balance vintage and modern decor to avoid making your space look cluttered or outdated. One way to do this is by using vintage pieces as accents and focal points while keeping your modern furniture and accessories simple and streamlined. When it comes to arranging your furniture, try to create a sense of balance and symmetry. Place your larger pieces, such as sofas and armchairs, in the center of the room and surround them with smaller pieces like side tables and lamps. This will help to create a cohesive and inviting space that blends both modern and antique styles.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to mix vintage &amp;amp; modern furniture &amp;amp; decor perfectly- Decorating Ideas &amp;amp; Inspiration - Step 4: Choose a Focal Point</image:title>
      <image:caption>Choose a Focal Point: Select one or two standout vintage or modern pieces to serve as focal points in the room. These can be a vintage statement piece like an antique chandelier or a modern sculptural chair. Another example is to hang a vintage painting on a modern wall or place a modern sculpture on a vintage side table. When you create a focal point, the rest of the room can play off of the style, colors, textures and shape of those items. When thinking of mixing small decor, make sure to use odd number groupings. This keeps the eye moving around the items, whereas two you don't know what to look at. Don't forget to pay attention to the shapes and lines of your furniture and decor. If you have a lot of clean lines in modern pieces, consider adding some curves or ornate details with vintage items, and vice versa. This helps create visual interest.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to mix vintage &amp;amp; modern furniture &amp;amp; decor perfectly- Decorating Ideas &amp;amp; Inspiration - Step 5: Experiment and Personalize</image:title>
      <image:caption>Don't be afraid to experiment: The key to mixing vintage and modern decor is to have fun and experiment. Try different combinations of furniture, accessories, and colors until you find the perfect balance that suits your style. I personally LOVE to mix in family heirlooms and antiques that tell a story. You home should feel like YOU-not Target  but seriously I love Target obviously but mixing that in with items you love make your home personal, unique and tells a story. Finally, blending vintage antiques and modern decor or furniture is an excellent way to create an extremely personalized, space that works for you and your family. By following these tips, you can achieve a perfect balance between old and new and create a space that's both functional and beautiful BUT... remember that achieving the perfect mix of vintage and modern decor may take time, and it's okay to evolve and adjust your decor as you go along. The key is to create a space that feels comfortable and visually appealing to you.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Often heralded as the cornerstone of home décor wisdom,  this tip resonates as a pivotal guiding principle in crafting harmonious living spaces. Its significance cannot be overstated – if a particular item contributes to a sense of clutter or unease when displayed, it's paramount to reconsider its place within your home's aesthetic narrative. Perhaps it's a matter of timing; the item may find its perfect moment in a different year or season. Alternatively, its destiny might lie in another home, where its unique charm will be fully appreciated. Maintaining a comfortable and inviting space is essential not only for you but also for your family, whether they walk on two legs or four.  By curating your environment with intention and discernment, you can cultivate an atmosphere that nurtures both your well-being and your personal style preferences. Remember, your home should be a sanctuary – a place where every element reflects your individuality and brings you joy. ✨</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Enjoy Valentine's Day (or any holiday decor) without overdoing it... - Who's Coming?</image:title>
      <image:caption>In our homes, we curate spaces that reflect our unique tastes, experiences, and the ever-changing seasons of life. They are repositories of memories, joy, and sometimes even sorrow, but above all, they are brimming with vitality! As we welcome guests into our abodes, whether long-time friends intimately acquainted with our journey or new faces embarking on shared experiences, it's crucial to consider their comfort, especially during the holiday season. Each visitor brings their own chapter of life to our doorstep, and tailoring our décor to accommodate their needs can greatly enhance their stay. Take, for example, grandparents, who may relish certain decorative elements differently as they cherish moments with their young grandchildren. Conversely, if we anticipate the arrival of an unsteady adult, it's wise to reevaluate potential hazards like slippery mats at the entrance. Even our beloved furry friends, with their exuberant tails wagging, can inadvertently wreak havoc on carefully arranged decorations! Therefore, as we prepare to host and cherish precious moments with loved ones, let's ensure that our décor enhances our time together rather than becoming a source of concern. After all, the holidays are a time to revel in the company of family and friends, and our surroundings should only serve to enrich these cherished moments, not distract from them. ✨</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - How to Enjoy Valentine's Day (or any holiday decor) without overdoing it... - Now what can we Decorate?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Drawing from the principles of simplicity, functionality, and thoughtful consideration for our guests, one of the first areas I delight in transforming for the holidays is our everyday essentials within the home. It's a simple yet effective way to infuse festive cheer into our living spaces while maintaining practicality. For instance, swapping out towels in vibrant holiday hues or textures not only adds a festive touch but also brings a smile to your family's faces as they notice the anticipation of upcoming celebrations. Similarly, refreshing throw pillows with seasonal colors can instantly rejuvenate any room, injecting a dose of holiday spirit into your decor. Consider also updating bedding with cozy, seasonal-themed blankets to enhance comfort without cluttering your space. Additionally, repurposing existing frames to showcase holiday-themed prints allows you to adorn your walls tastefully without introducing unnecessary clutter. By leveraging the areas of your home that you already adorn, you can effortlessly achieve a tasteful and festive ambiance while maintaining functionality amidst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. It's all about striking a harmonious balance between style, practicality, and the joy of the season. ❤️✨</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Vintage-style plants - they're not just there to look pretty; they've got some serious meaning behind them, adding depth and character to our rooms.  And guess what? Magnolias are like the rock stars of vintage decor. With their lush blooms and sweet scent, they bring this vibe of pure elegance.  Magnolias are all about nobility, strength, and being totally in tune with nature. They've got this soft, gentle look that screams femininity and grace.  As a designer, I'm always sneaking magnolias into my designs because they bring that touch of calm and class. Plus, when you dig into the symbolism, you find out they're all about resilience and staying true to yourself.  So, whether they're sitting pretty on a table or adding charm to a mantelpiece, magnolias bring that timeless elegance and a whole lot of meaning to any vintage-inspired space. ✨</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Vintage Greenery: Unveiling Faux Flora &amp;amp; Symbolism in Vintage Decor - Heartfelt Hydrangeas</image:title>
      <image:caption>Let me introduce you to a little secret weapon – hydrangeas! They're not just your average flowers; they're these magical symbols of beauty and abundance. Think of them as the magnolias' equally stylish cousin.  Hydrangeas bring this vibe of grace and plenty to any room, just like we love in our vintage-inspired décor. And get this – they're all about gratitude and feeling those warm fuzzies. Perfect for creating that cozy, welcoming atmosphere we're always aiming for!  Plus, they've got that soft, dreamy look that screams vintage charm while still keeping things laid-back and chill. As a designer, I swear by them! They're like little bursts of happiness that make a space feel complete. So, next time you're sprucing up your place, don't forget to throw in some hydrangeas. They'll add that timeless elegance and heartfelt vibe we're always after!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Vintage Greenery: Unveiling Faux Flora &amp;amp; Symbolism in Vintage Decor - Cosmos Flowers</image:title>
      <image:caption>Alright, let's switch it up and talk about cosmos flowers – they're like the underrated gems of the floral world, with so much more to them than meets the eye.  Similar to hydrangeas, cosmos flowers are all about bringing a sense of order, harmony, and balance into our lives and spaces. They're like the peacekeepers of the flower kingdom, you know? But here's where it gets interesting – they're not just about balance; they also represent peace, tranquility, innocence, and modesty. These flowers are like a whole mood in themselves!  Back in the Victorian era, when everyone was into giving flowers secret meanings, cosmos flowers were the symbol of pure joy in love and life. Can you imagine the vibe they brought to those romantic settings? It's like spreading happiness with every petal! As a designer, I love working with cosmos flowers. They bring this sense of peace and joy that just lights up a room.  Whether they're sitting pretty on a shelf or adding a burst of color to a space, cosmos flowers bring that perfect blend of harmony and happiness to any vintage-inspired setup.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Vintage Greenery: Unveiling Faux Flora &amp;amp; Symbolism in Vintage Decor - Pretty Peonies</image:title>
      <image:caption>Another fave: Peonies – they're the ultimate symbol of happiness and romance, wrapped up in a gorgeous bundle of petals.  Peonies are all about bringing that sense of bashfulness and joy into our lives, you know? But here's the kicker – they're not just about romance; they also symbolize a happy marriage, honor, prosperity, good fortune, and wealth. Talk about a flower with some serious perks!  And it's no wonder they're such a hit in wedding bouquets – with all these meanings packed into one bloom, they're a wish for a lifetime of happiness and abundance. As a designer, I can't get enough of peonies. They bring this sense of love and celebration that's just infectious.  Whether they're stealing the show in a centerpiece or adding a touch of romance to a room, peonies bring that perfect blend of beauty and meaning to any occasion.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reviving the Rustic: Farmhouse Decor Through the Ages, to use or not to use... - From Necessity to Style: The evolution of Farmhouse Decor</image:title>
      <image:caption>Farmhouse decor has a timeless appeal that has evolved significantly from its humble, functional beginnings to become a coveted aesthetic in contemporary homes. Originally born out of necessity, the early farmhouse style was defined by practical and sturdy furnishings made from local materials. These pieces were designed to withstand the demands of rural life. Today, the style has been embraced in urban and suburban settings alike, merging rustic charm with modern comfort. In this exploration, we'll delve into how to incorporate classic farmhouse elements into modern homes while preserving their authentic appeal.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reviving the Rustic: Farmhouse Decor Through the Ages, to use or not to use... - Natural Charm: Incorporating Wood &amp; Stone in Farmhouse Design</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the hallmarks of the farmhouse style is the use of natural materials. Exposed wood beams, distressed wood finishes, and natural stone are all key elements that help to recreate the warmth and simplicity of a traditional farmhouse setting. To truly capture the essence of farmhouse decor, consider incorporating reclaimed wood for flooring or wall panels. Not only does this support sustainability, but it also adds an instant age and character that new materials simply can't match.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>DIY projects are a fantastic way to bring the rustic farmhouse style into your home. Simple projects like creating a wall art from reclaimed barn wood or turning old mason jars into light fixtures can add a personal touch that resonates with the farmhouse ethos. Additionally, using vintage or antique furniture pieces—like a weathered dining table or a set of mismatched wooden chairs—can enhance the overall aesthetic while providing a link to the past.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Choosing the right decorative accessories is crucial in achieving an authentic farmhouse look. Antique or vintage items such as enamelware, galvanized metal buckets, and wooden crates are not only decorative but also functional. These elements echo the utilitarian roots of farmhouse decor but are used today in more decorative capacities. Incorporating soft textiles like burlap, linen, and cotton in neutral shades can soften the look and add to the cozy feel of the space.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - ✨ Handmade Holidays: DIY Projects to Add a Personal Touch  - ✨ Illuminate Your Style: DIY Pleated Lamp Shades for Sconces</image:title>
      <image:caption>Create stunning, custom DIY pleated lamp shades for your sconces with a unique vertical design! Using just one yard of fabric, you can achieve a sleek and elegant look. Here’s how to make them: 1. Prepare the Fabric ✂️: Cut your chosen fabric into 2-inch strips. Select a fabric that complements your room’s style for a cohesive effect. 2. Attach Vertically ️: Starting at one side of the shade, wrap a strip vertically over the shade and glue each end securely at the top and bottom. 3. Layering : Move around the shade, adding each strip side by side, slightly overlapping for full coverage. Keep the pleats uniform for a polished appearance. 4. Finish at the Edge : Once the entire shade is covered, neatly secure the final strip, ensuring a seamless finish. 5. Optional Trim ✨: Add a decorative trim or ribbon around the top and bottom edges for an extra touch of sophistication. This vertical pleating technique creates a modern and tailored look, ideal for wall sconces. Your DIY lamp shades will add personality and warmth to your space, turning functional lighting into a stylish statement piece!</image:caption>
