I like to get my holiday shopping done early on in December. I get super stressed being a last-minute shopper. Why not take the time to get things done early in the season and be able to order everything online when there are plenty of promo codes to be found and time for orders to arrive. This gives you way more time for all of those cups of hot cocoa and cheesy Christmas movies. My DVR is filled with movies from UPTV, Lifetime and of course Hallmark! First up on the gift guides is for the decorator in your life! That friend or family member that loves everything home-related and is always in the know of what’s on-trend and cool. You want to get her something to wow her!
No. 1: If you love your home then you probably love to entertain as well. I think it’s always safe to gift them something for hosting people like this sparkly ice bucket! It would be the perfect addition to any bar cart.
No. 2 Everything is better in pink and let’s face it with some gold! Love these pink glasses for your stylish girlfriend. Pair it with your favorite bottle of champagne and you destined to be her BFF.
No. 3 This spade shaped dish is meant to be a jewelry holder, but I think it would be awesome for styling a coffee table or using it for mixed nuts or mints when you are entertaining.
No. 4 How stunning is this colorfully striped throw! You can drape it on a chair or sofa, use it for a picnic or even as a tablecloth. Swoon!
No. 5 Stone and brass bookends would look amazing on a mantle, in a bookcase or on a console. They are chic and unique! Lots like something you would have picked up at an expensive boutique, but only $24.99!
No. 6 Loved these beautiful velvet pillows with tassels from Drew Barrymoore’s line at Walmart when they first came out. They are 20″ x 20″ and come with an insert. They are currently on sale for $10!!!!! Pick up a pair for a white elephant exchange you may be a part of.
No. 7 Lo Home makes the most beautiful ceramic ginger jars. Everything is handmade! I love seeing all of their behind the scenes action on their instagram. So much love and talent go into each piece. Gifting on of their ginger jars is like gifting a piece of art.
No. 8 Games are always fun when entertaining. My family really enjoys playing dominoes when we are all together. Loving this domino set with it’s pretty packaging and equally stylish dominoes.
No. 9 Prettiest matches meet the prettiest taper candles. A match made in heaven. Pun totally intended.
No. 10 An embroidered towel is lovely, but do you know what is amazing? A fabric applique monogram on a hand towel! It is the highest level of monogramming in my book.
No. 11 Imagine all of the amazing stocking stuffers that will fill this leopard Christmas stocking! Very chic!
No. 12 For the person that has everything this GUCCI book chronicling their history would be the perfect addition for their library or coffee table.
No. 13 I love a good tray! I use them constantly for entertaining with drinks, apps, sweets or in an entry way for mail and keys or in my bedroom for makeup or jewelry! So many possibilities!
Happy Shopping!
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]

However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
