Happy New Year's Eve! We are setting our table and getting ready for a wonderful meal we are picking up today from @eastsidempls We love our special weekend meals ala @jaimeannmalone They are so special and it's as close to a night out as we can bring home. // This #newwork shot is a #country #tablesetting on a reclaimed Minnesota barn wood surface. All the other elements were gathered @rosedalecenter I spy placemats and creme dot salad plates @jcpenney wood charger @potterybarn turquoise dinner plate and round ornaments @macys scalloped salad plate @wsrosedale low ball glass and evergreen tree ornaments @roseandloon // Want to see behind the scenes? Swipe for my overhead shot that I took during the set up. My photography is nowhere near the beautifully naturally llt shot that @ryandyer took for the editorial but you can see some of the elements better. This year we went a little bit country - with some sparkle thrown in. #holiday #holidaydecor #homedecor #bstyle #bstyled #editorial #sharemysquare #howyouhome #showmeyourstyled #decorcrushing #everydayibt #currentdesignsituation #sharemystyle #prettylittleinteriors #inspotoyourhome #makehomeyours #pocketofmyhome #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #interior2you #aheadofthecurve #howdoesshe #theeverymomgetsreal #finditstyleit #thatsdarling #showmeyourstyled #decorcrushing #myoklstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CJdzwc-l0iJ/?igshid=1lv61cyx80jeh

When ornaments were made out of newsprint. Actually this garland was made out of book print - albeit reprinted by @westelm This was one of their genius holiday collections years ago. // My Mom went through a phase when I was little wrapping presents in the funny pages of the newspaper. I think back and I t was really because we didn't have the money to buy fancy wrapping paper. At the time we have fun choosing which comic strip would be on top of the gift with Peanuts as our favorite of course. // I fell in love with this chair because of the curved cut-out back. I think it was turned out from one piece of wood. It felt Victorian in a modern way to me. At the time, Victorian style was not on trend...now, it's back with lace, detailed embellishment and caster wheels. Fancy modernized.

Right now, I'm searching around for lighting and these ornaments remind me how beautiful steel gray can be. They look machined and industrial, yet delicate at the same time. The sugared pinecone is unexpected. // I found these platters at a shop near 50th and France. It was owned by a woman who had amazing taste. She sold fashion accessories. I stopped by when she'd first opened and found these stacked on a center display. I reach for them time and again because of their raw and rustic quality. I just featured them in a staging project this year. // The holidays have come this year as a welcome respite. I've never enjoyed time at home more than these past few weeks. Listening to oneself is so much easier when there are groups of days strung together. There is time to wander - to remember and to feel depth of emotion. There is so much clarity in peace. #holiday #holidaydecor #homedecor #bstyle #bstyled #photography #editorial #sharemysquare @_tnehottephoto_ #howyouhome #showmeyourstyled #decorcrushing #everydayibt #currentdesignsituation #sharemystyle #roomhints #prettylittleinteriors #inspotoyourhome #makehomeyours #pocketofmyhome #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #interior2you #aheadofthecurve #howdoesshe #theeverymomgetsreal #finditstyleit #thatsdarling #showmeyourstyled #decorcrushing #myoklstyle (at Minneapolis, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYiPCalrLW/?igshid=sca16elpc08u

Today is "Second Christmas Day" in the Netherlands. Years ago, I was spending time with a friend when I shared this holiday with his family. I'd never heard of this Christmas extension, but I wasn't surprised because the Europeans have several more days off work than we do. // It got me to thinking about what I could do with more sanctioned time off. What would you do? My first thought is to go for longer hikes with our two dogs. Weather permitting of course. Or I'd write more, design more or shoot more. Time in nature and time creating are two of my favorite ways to experience life with family and friends. // I love organic messy piles. This was an example of playing around with the asymmetry of multiple objects. Nature is messy and yet can be perfectly formed. The perfect mess or messy perfection...naturally. #holiday #holidaydecor #homedecor #bstyle #bstyled #photography #editorial #sharemysquare @karlherberphoto #howyouhome #showmeyourstyled #decorcrushing #everydayibt #currentdesignsituation #sharemystyle #roomhints #prettylittleinteriors #inspotoyourhome #makehomeyours #pocketofmyhome #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #interior2you #aheadofthecurve #howdoesshe #theeverymomgetsreal #finditstyleit #thatsdarling #showmeyourstyled #decorcrushing #myoklstyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CJRJqB6FAuQ/?igshid=18qciyjhynjzc
