What really makes a home special are all of the little details. Details make a BIG difference and can elevate a room and take it to the next level. By focusing on details with decorative elements and design, you can give a touch of refreshment and life to your home. Think about pattern, texture, color palettes, accessories, room flow and all of those details that serve to enhance a room's overall look. It always comes down to details because they make the difference between a boring home and a bright and polished one. 🤩🌟🏡

National Gingerbread House Day on December 12th recognizes a family tradition for many around the country. Today, we can spend the day baking, cutting, and building to our heart’s delight. And let's be honest, we can buy a kit to prevent constructing a roof that caves in (this often happens to me) and get right down to creating our winter wonderlands. 🏠🍭❄️

Pinterest’s holiday predictions show that people are searching for ways to celebrate the holidays at home this year. Last year, we didn't have a choice but to spend the holidays at home, but it was a nice change of pace from the crazy-busy holiday seasons we've been used to for so many years. So this year, if you're staying home and planning to entertain, a cozy Christmas dinner with family and friends is the best way to celebrate the season. However, you don't need fine china to create a beautiful holiday table. Here are some ideas to inspire you and add some sparkle to your holiday tablescape. 🍽🕯🎄

1. Pick a simple theme and color palette
2. Feature a centerpiece with decor you already have
3. Light candles or add in some twinkle lights to help your table glow
4. Get creative with place cards and print a photo for each place setting
5. Layer on the details and put a holiday popper or a Santa hat at each seat
6. Show off a beautiful family dessert recipe on a cake stand
7. Add in some fresh greenery for ambiance and a nice holiday aroma
8. Put silverware in a small stocking at each setting
9. Keep things super simple with white plates
10. Fold napkins into a square and top with an evergreen sprig and an ornament
