Weekly Features

It's been difficult for us to choose just one feature each. Your vintage finds, vignettes and just plain creativity have been awesome!

Kathleen's Pick

My absolute favorite Christmas story of all time is "Twas the Night Before Christmas" by Clement Clarke Moore, hands down. We used to read it to the kids every year on Christmas Eve. While the kids have grown, I am still quite partial to that story. So no wonder I fell in love with Carol from The Red Painted Cottage's Christmas mantel. She uses a printed and framed sign with a quote from the book as the main element, surrounded by neutral small wooden houses, white bottle brush trees and a rustic deer figure. Lush and festive greens are draped throughout to add that special finishing touch. Drop by Twas the Night Before Christmas Mantel to get a glimpse of this rustic, serene winter wonderland.

Cecilia's Pick

Paula, from Virginia Sweet Pea, shared her lovely traditional Christmas Front Door and Porch Decor. From her festive urns and garland to her fresh boxwood wreath, the entire look is classic and charming. Pay Paula a visit for more holiday inspiration!
