Come on in! We got the foyer cleared of dog crates and junk mail and styled up with some vintage plaid stadium throws, an orchid from @traderjoesgrocery and magnolia branches from the yard. Just in time for my book club Christmas party. December 11, 2015December 11, 2015 Instagram filter used: Lark View in Instagram ⇒

Living room mantel is inspired by the gorgeous Christmas displays at the Ralph Lauren flagship store in NYC. I had some kinda Pinterest trance going yesterday. I actually broke out my sewing machine and MADE eight stockings from some moth-eaten stadium blankets and a thrift store sweater. Good thing that bobbin thread held out, cuz otherwise I would have given up! #bobbinsareevil #plaid #Christmas2015 #veryvintagechristmas #pinterestforthewin December 7, 2015December 7, 2015 Instagram filter used: Ludwig View in Instagram ⇒

The front door might be done. Unless I decide to add some pheasant feathers. Or something…Grapevine, fresh garland from @homedepot, magnolia, holly, dried hydrangea, all from the yard, antlers, and on the wreath, turkey feathers from Boomerang Boy’s wild turkey shoot last winter. (The turkey went into the gumbo pot!) December 5, 2015December 5, 2015 Instagram filter used: Juno View in Instagram ⇒
