Christmas Throughout Instagram
One of my favorite things about blogging is having the opportunity to share home tours of fellow design enthusiasts/designers, many of whom I met via Instagram. With Christmas upon us, the lovely ladies I have featured throughout the year have also been very busy decking the halls, and I wanted to share their inspiration, so today we will visit the following holiday homes:
- Serena Fresson’s English manor home
- Marsha Mason’s classic and and elegant Southern cottage
- Meredith Lewis’ Southern dream home
- Meg Holser’s (Meggie H. Interiors) 1850s New England charmer
- Elizabeth Chadwick’s historic Orlando gem
- Meg McCartney’s elegant 1930s Long Island, New York home
Such incredible talent, yes?! Please click on the links at the top of the post to tour these fabulous homes and the links at the bottom of each picture to follow on Instagram.
Merry Christmas!
Spode Christmas Tree – A Christmas Tradition
Introduced in 1938, “Christmas Tree” by Spode has graced holiday tables for more than 75 years. It is is a classic Christmas tradition, loved for its nostalgia and warm recollections of Christmases past. My mother has practically every single piece of Christmas Tree available, and so it always reminds me of her. Since we are having Christmas at our home in Florida this year, I decided this would be the time to begin my own collection. Little did I know how reasonably priced it has become!
The beauty of Christmas Tree is that it can be dressed up or down for any occasion… Pair it with your sterling silver and fine crystal for a more formal tablescape, or with stainless, some festive tartan napkins, and Spode’s Christmas Tree glasses for a more casual feel. And the best part is that today’s Christmas Tree is dishwasher safe, which makes for easy breezy clean up! Below I have compiled a few of my favorite holiday tablescapes featuring my beloved Christmas Tree…
