Chances are you may have already decorated for Christmas. Others however, are just getting started. So...where do home decorators shop for their Christmas decorations? That's the question on the table today, but the answer is a bit more nuanced than giving a big box store name and sending you on your merry way. 

Holiday decorating, but especially Christmas decorating, is an opportunity for telling your family's story. Just think of all those ornaments on your Christmas tree...where they came from and what they remind you of are just two obvious connections to a sense of story. But digging a little deeper and I'm sure you may think of more. 

In this episode I'm breaking it all down: my go-to places where I shop for ornaments, garland, sprigs of berries and more. And, spoiler alert...some of the sources are so inexpensive that saving money means you might finally be able to splurge for that personal Christmas gift you've been spying for ages!

On this day of thanks, Thanksgiving 2021, we're chatting about gratitude. What does it mean, truly, and why is it such a buzz word? Can you increase the amount of gratitude in your life and why would you?

Gratitude is the practice of being thankful. Gratitude, when given and received, increases dopamine - basically...it makes you feel happy. Gratitude begets gratitude. Simply put, the more you give, the happier you feel.

I give you three easy ways to start practicing gratitude today:

1. Start observing the little things that you are grateful for

2. Name those little things - and name them for someone else: your kids, your spouse, yourself in a journal

3. Be mindful of the company you keep, the conversations you have, the media you consume

It only happens once a year...a sale this BIG! Everything in my design suite, EVERYTHING, is 50% off now until Monday, November 29th. Why? Here's why...I know some of you have been sitting on the fence, wondering if working with me is a good idea and wondering if investing in yourself and your home is worth it. That decision is up to you, but the barrier has been removed - the ominous 'it costs too much' barrier that stands in the way of investing on ourselves, our loved ones, our home. So now...the choice is entirely up to you. Are you ready to make that investment? Are you ready to finally commit to creating a home that you love coming home to?

Pinterest is a mighty tool in home design! It's easy to navigate, easy to save ideas for later and WOW is it full of inspiration! Sometimes though, Pinterest can be used in a way that is less than helpful. Copying an inspiring image you found on Pinterest and replicating it in your home's design is one of those. 

Today I'm giving you 5 reasons why you SHOULDN'T just copy an image you see on Pinterest. Yes, it may be beautiful. But you may be missing the mark and we're talking about why and what to do instead (in case you've already done just that!)

And...stick around to the very end. You're not going to want to miss the announcement. Hint, hint...if you're not already on my email list you're going to want to do that before Monday.

We've all seen it...area rugs layered on top of wall to wall carpeting. Are there rules to this design decision? Is it something that designers encourage or avoid and how do you pull the look off if you want to try it in your own home? 

Like most home design decisions it comes down to personal opinion and preference, but designer Dani, definitely gives her own opinion about the look and some suggestions for how to make the right choice if you're wanting to give it a try. 

Contrasting + complimenting, and a little texture work together to create the look you're going for.
