Home Style Saturdays 7 | Preparing for Holiday Guests

  • Facebook
  • Twitter

Hey guys! I realized a little too late that this post didn’t post on Saturday, so this week we’re having Saturday on Tuesday!! I guess that’s what happens when you get lost in a project and don’t come up for air until two days later. So, here you go…

It seems like everyone is getting ready for the approaching holiday season. From renovations to shopping to seasonal decor and table settings, there’s so much work that goes into preparing for holiday guests. But if you’re like me and you love celebrating with family, then this can be a great time of year.

As always on Saturdays I bring you Home Style Saturdays, the day I share what a few of my blogging friends have been up to lately. We’re also welcoming our friend Kim from Savvy Southern Style to join our line up, so there’s even more Home Style goodness to share this week. Enjoy!!

There's no need to sacrifice style in the family r There's no need to sacrifice style in the family room in exchange for practicality.  You can have both!⁣
⁣
I've always found it so strange when people decorate the living room to be beautiful and never use it and then treat the family room like a junk room and spend all their time there.⁣
⁣
The room in the house that's most used deserves to be treated as such and given the most attention. ⁣

I love the way they let in the light but allow for privacy, too, are convenient to use and add a note of polish to any room.⁣

Here's the most fascinating thing about my friend Here's the most fascinating thing about my friend KariAnne @thistlewood.  She's full of energy and personality and tons of smarts!  She wears red lipstick and is one of the most encouraging people I know.  If you're feeling sluggish, go get a does of inspiration from KariAnne because she's always more awake than anyone else.⁣
⁣
And yet, when it comes to her home, it's as peaceful and calming as you can possibly image. Yes, it oozes signs of her talent and creativity, but it's ever so serene in the best possible way! I just love this dichotomy because I find both sides of KariAnne to work perfectly together.  Be sure to check out her page to see what I mean.  You won't be disappointed... 🙌😀
