In October I shared the process of finding and buying my new home- and now I’m so excited to be able to decorate it for “The Most Wonderful Time of The Year”! My mom has always been a huge fan of decorating and interior design and has such a unique style; its always been an inspiration to me to watch her go absolutely over the top with her decor, especially at Christmastime. (I’ll have to share some pictures of her house too!)

My house is of course, no where near the size of my parents, so I haven’t been able to do quite as much as my wonderful mom, but I’ve enjoyed adding lots of festive little touches all the same.

I’m really loving a sort of “retro” Christmas look. As I seriously decorate my first grown-up home for real (SUPER overwhelming!) I’ve been drawn to a lot of Mid-Century Modern pieces and looks, and so I wanted to try to carry that look through my Christmas decor. I’ve collected quite few things from thrift stores and my parents basement, but can never stay away from the Target dollar spot or Homegoods either- so I’ve started to pull together a retro, maybe sort of kitschy look. It’s still a work in progress that I don’t really expect to perfect this year, but if my house didn’t already make me happy enough every time I walk in the door, the festive feel puts it completely over the top.
