holiday decorating style

So, I am sure that everyone has started their holiday decorating by now. I am so proud of myself...got my tree up last night and the Christmas lights are all hung outside. I was feeling a little like a slacker after seeing that so many other people had theirs done the day after Thanksgiving!
There is such a HUGE selection of holiday decor out and so many styles and themes to choose from. Here are some of my faves...

Rustic--

I always lean towards rustic, using raffia, pine cones, and tin ornaments.  What's your style??

not right

Instead of snuggled up in bed, I am out in the trenches shopping! I know, I am not right! It is a serious addiction to shopping that drags me out of bed in the wee hours of Black Friday and convinces me to wait in looooong lines for Christmas deals. I am really not sure you get that great of a deal on things on Black Friday but I have been doing it for a few years now and it's kinda become a tradition.

So, while I am satisfying my retail urges, I will be dreaming of curling up in a comfy bed like this one...

giving thanks

With Thanksgiving upon us, I know I have many things to be thankful for in my life.  I am blessed with a beautiful, healthy family that keeps me grounded. I have great friends that are always there when I need an ear (or a glass of wine!). Of course, I am very thankful for all the great blogging friends and followers I have gained this year! Blogging has introduced me to so many wonderful people and it's all of you guys that keep me motivated in my career!

master bedroom makeover

Recently the blog, Undomestic Momma, hosted a giveaway for my e-design services. The lucky winner was Rachel and she was ready for her makeover! She said her master bedroom was in major need of an overhaul. I was very excited to take on this project! This is what I came up with...

I aimed to strike the perfect balance between masculine and feminine. I chose dark wood furnishings to appeal to him and more feminine details, such as the side chair and tray table to show off her design style.  Looks like I achieved my goal! They both love it and are excited to execute the design!
