Can you believe it's almost Christmas!? My mom says that I say this every year but THIS year I am really feeling the holiday spirit. I don't know if it's the fact that I've finally left the nest, or because we'll be hosting our first Thanksgiving but I just can't wait for the festivities to begin!
Naturally, the first thing I want to do is to prep our space. With Christmas decorations and family celebrations ahead, a deep clean is all but necessary. So I've been cleaning and organizing our loft like a mad woman and it feels SO good! Now that everything is spick and span, I have a clean slate to work from and embrace holiday decorating! This image really inspired me because this year, I am loving large scale elements, simple decor, and luxe details.
Here are a few tips to help prepare yourself for the Holiday season:
1 // do a deep clean - this helps prepare your space and your mind for the festivities ahead.
2 // simplify - remove extra accessories, artwork, etc. to create a clean slate for holiday decor
3 // focus on thanksgiving first - I know it can be hard but remember, thanksgiving comes first! Be sure your turkey day celebration doesn't get overshadowed by your eagerness for Christmas
4 // prioritize - set all of your holiday items out in a separate room to evaluate what you truly love and what can be kept tucked away.
5 // take your time - holiday decorating doesn't have to happen all at once. Start with your favorite pieces and add to it as you see fit. This way you will end up with a cohesive look and not all the extra...
Happy almost holidays you guys!
