Christmas Mantels, Part Deux

The trend in Wilmington is obviously to have 3 fireplaces in your house... 

Another client asked me to come by and give her mantels some love for Christmas, 

so that's what I did! 

Staffordshire dogs with bows & boxwoods should be in every Southern Holiday home,

DUH!

Scenes From The Weekend

Good morning!

I had quite the busy weekend...

I threw a baby shower brunch for a friend expecting a little boy

I went to dinner with Brad & a bunch of friends

I did some vintage shopping and scored Shiny Brite & Christopher Radko ornaments

(I now deem myself a collector of the two)

Brad & I finally got our Christmas tree, and I stuffed as many lights in there that I possibly could. I also added some colored lights this year, and I'm lovin it! Here's a tip for everyone when lighting up your tree: Start wrapping the lights from the trunk and work your way out. You can even stuff a handful of lights at the trunk rather than wrapping. A well lit tree probably takes 3X the amount of lights you're thinking it takes.

Is this scene not the most picture perfect scene you've ever seen??

This girl, an acquaintance of mine, lives in Alaska and is a deer farmer. I'd like to switch lives with her for a few months.

Tartan galore!

 This screams Christmas to me, and I love it!

DREAM CAR!

I mean... 

Julianne Hough looks freaking gorgeous here! I've always wanted to try the slicked back hair look for a fancy pants night out...

Someone I know needs to throw a party like this and invite me. 

Just fabulous!

So many pretty things to see here... 

And this photo may be a little controversial, but I'm a fan. 

I think nude pregnant women are so empowering, especially when you look as hot as Kourtney.

Client 'More Is More'

"You can never be too tacky or too over the top at Christmas time!" - Client 'More Is More'

When your client says something like this, you best believe you better zhush the shiz out of her house for Christmas. So, that's what I did. I zhushed. And zhushed some more. I finished each mantel, then decided I needed more. So I added, and then added a little bit more. 

I didn't get a picture of the tree because I finished when it was dark out, but I'll sneak back over and try to snap a quick pic. The tree topper is seriously outrageous.

For now, here are 3 mantels, a little shot of a dining room, and a decked out pot rack.

Scenes From The Weekend

It's December 1st!! I love it, but I hate that the holiday season is flying by already. 

For Thanksgiving, Brad and I went down to South Carolina to be with my grandparents. When we got there, I found out my brother and niece were coming after they said they wouldn't make it. I spent all of Thanksgiving day with that little girl. She's THE BEST! 

Friday, I worked. Saturday, I worked. Saturday night, Brad & I decided to go to a comedy show with some friends...

Sunday, I worked. But I didn't mind it one bit because I had this view. 

Today, I'm decorating another house for the holidays. This house is completely my style, so I'm very excited about this one!
