Here are festive wreaths, desserts, and decor ideas from my home to yours.

It’s time to start preparing for Christmas, whether you’re ready or not.

Thanksgiving is next, but we all know what’s after. It’s Christmas.

Are you ready for holiday music blaring in shop speakers? Christmas drinks from Starbucks? Last-minute shopping and decorating?

I’m here to help inspire you and others to craft, create and decorate your home into a winter wonderland.

Saturday Chitchat with Janine – Volume 93

Hello everyone!

I’ve been ready for Thanksgiving and have already started decorating for Christmas.

Believe it or not, I have five trees set up, lit, and decorated. I know, I’m crazy!

When it comes to blogging, I always have to be one holiday ahead 😉

Whether you’re ready or not, here are some festive ideas to transform your home for the holiday season!

Personal Note from Janine

Photo: My Photography

This photo is from two years ago.

Yes, there are a ton of paper snowflakes and chains that I made.

I wanted to create a winter wonderland similar to Buddy the Elf in the popular holiday movie! The photo captures a tiny bit of what I decorated but truthfully, it was more impressive in person.

So, this year I’m planning on making a video showing me installing the snowflakes. My brother will film me and I hope to wrangle my daughter to help out. Otherwise it will take a few hours if I put them up myself.

It’s a pretty involved process and I bit over the top.

My husband and son have accused me of being Buddy the Elf. I have to agree that I have his energy and obsession with decorating during the holidays.

Well, stay tuned and hopefully I’ll share it over here on the blog. I will for sure be sharing it on my Instagram account.

Well, I hope this post inspires your holiday decorating this weekend.

Cheers and enjoy your day!

Home for Christmas Home Tour

Happy Holidays! Welcome to our Home for Christmas House Tour from last year. This is a view of our cozy cottage at night.

The glow from the twinkling and candle lights create such a beautiful environment. And this year, more than ever, we need a lovely winter holiday home!

This Week’s Tip – Indoor Outdoor Washable Rugs

cottage decor ideas

Washable Rugs

I love my red tartan washable rug! Yes, you heard correctly this rug is washable!

Our rug was on the front porch for about half the year, starting in November. It spent the winter on our porch and did get a bit muddy through the months.

I finally washed it in the spring and it came out clean and like new. It’s my kind of rug, easy care and cute!

But, I do want to warn you that I bought two kitchen runners from Ruggable and I wasn’t too crazy about the look. But this fun tartan is perfect for a front porch!

Latest Obsession – Vintage Plates For The Holidays

My Latest Obsession is Collecting Old Plates

Lately when I’m in an antique store or a thrift shop, I try and find some old blue plates. This year I’m using them for my holiday decorating.

I’m placing them on bookshelves and cakestands for an extra spot of color and pattern.

One of my favorite shops that these plates are from is called, Elsie Green.

What’s unique about this shop is that they only carry vintage home decor from France. Every year, they shop in France and then have everything shipped in big containers. They do a booming online business and you can shop there via this link!



Hello,

How is your weekend going so far?

This weekend is about preparing for Thanksgiving, meaning coming up with recipes, last-minute touches to the decor, and cleaning the house for the guests!

Writing posts about Christmas yet prepping for Thanksgiving has been a little confusing!

Hold in there with me. Soon enough, you will see my holiday look along with everything in between.

In the meantime, I hope you’re having a great weekend. Happy Thanksgiving, my friends!
