I kind of love the idea of kid trees but I think they have to be touchable.

I had a little tree when I was a kid and I agree. That was when you could get ball ornaments that were silky thread wrapped around Styrofoam. Remember those?

If you pay extra attention to the dog when you are over, you are a friend for life. You are welcome at my home any time!

Can you please share where you found the picture with the white tree? I’m looking for a side board/cabinet just like the one in the picture!

Same question for the middle kitchen post? I’m obsessed with the cookbook bookshelf by the island idea.


If you mean the black dining room picture, the blogger is Kelley Nan. She's a little extra...prepare yourself!

That kitchen belongs to Alexis Walter (here's her instagram). It was featured in Southern Home Magazine. I flipped through the kitchen highlights she has in her instagram stories and didn't see any reference to the bookcase. Sorry! Here's a close-up, though.

Madcap Cottage has multiple trees and color schemes. Here's one.


This is the dining room in a blogger's home. I counted five trees in the home, but I may have missed one. Last year, there were two in this room.


That blogger changes the colors on the trees every year, which makes me wonder if she rents decor or has amazing storage. She did a butterfly tree for her child last year, which was different.

Some more ornate looks.

I keep coming across this photo and it makes me smile. That's a designer named Richard Keith Langham and he throws big holiday parties every year.


An outdoor tree that has a little more going on that the last one I shared.



Brian Branton, a lobbyist who lives in Old Town, goes all out for Christmas. Even the bedrooms get decorated. His garlands and wreaths are amazing. See his instagram for more.

I'll do some maximalist stuff today...I think just making the thread got me in the holiday mood!

First, the kitchen polar bear. The caption says it's "courtesy of Holiday Warehouse," which looks like the kind of place Turtle Creek Lane shops.

Ok I admit I am not an expert on this but if these are minimalist, what does ornate look like???

I love that one too!

Love Eye Candy! Thank you! You found me some lovely yellow themes for a teen boy room and I appreciate it!

I would like to see the giant polar bear.

So this modern house had very minimal decor...but then there was a giant, fake polar bear in the kitchen.


Maybe not minimal, but a simple color scheme.


Love the candles on the tree! You don't see that often anymore, at least not in this country. Classic.
