We are deep into our renovation, space is limited and Christmas a bit minimal, at least in my opinions. I must admit it is both a relief and burden. I miss the cookie baking, kitchen decor and beautifully set dining table but I love the selected and streamlined look for the rest of the house. With such a jumble of stuff the renovation brings, I really didn’t want to add more clutter and brightness. I think we found the sweet spot with Christmas this year…just imagine what next year will be like!

I’m really missing my Merry and Bright kitchen and I am enjoying the look back to my past Christmas celebrations…look at the Princess, it feels like yesterday!

What a week! It seems like we finished the Thanksgiving turkey and were immediately smacked in the face with a handful of Christmas cheer. It always feels so daunting each year when staring down a towering stack of plastic bins that contain a season’s worth of Yuletide joy. But you open that first lid and suddenly, it all makes sense and everything finds the most perfect spot. Your house just glows and your heart just feels more Merry. I hope you find my home a true comfort during this season of busyness!

And a certain Princess gave Santa her wishes for Christmas…and most will come true!
