Christmas Decor | Prepping For The Holidays
0

Prepping for the holidays and shopping for new christmas decor might be one of my favorite pastimes. I always enjoy seeing the latest holiday collections from Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, Ralph Lauren, Juliska and more!

Last year I finally bought us a new christmas tree from Grandin Road and I couldn’t recommend it more. We went with the 7.5″ Aspen Pine Tree and psssst…. the flocked version is just as cute! If you’re looking for more affordable tree options, I always like Home Depot’s selection.

There were a few items I didn’t purchase last year that I officially added to my 2020 shopping list. Insert —

Tree Topper: I found this pretty gold star tree topper from McGee and Co. and can’t wait to see it in person! I’ve been searching high and low and this one made the cut. Plus it’s only $36 dollars! Target also has a wide selection at really great price points.

Tree Collar: Last year I covered the base of my tree with a white sheet. This year I want to pick up a wicker tree collar and found several great options that are in stock btw! I love these two from Pottery Barn: The handwoven vine tree collar and this beachcomber basket beach collar. This split willow tree collar from Target is only $45 dollars but sold out super early last year so recommend getting it now!

Miniature Christmas Trees: Growing up my mom had several little christmas trees throughout every room in our house. Each year I try to add to my collection and if there’s one thing I’ve learned — don’t skimp on these or else you end up throwing them out. Even though the miniatures tend to be around $70-$100 dollars per tree, they will last you longer than a cheapy you find on Amazon!

Plaid Pillows & Throws: Ok, I’m really kicking myself for not pulling the trigger on these RL pillows & throw last year. If you can catch them on sale this season, I highly recommend. The quality is amazing & you guys know I love decorating with plaid!! Take a peek at my “decorating with plaid” blog post from 2018 here.

Fall Home Decor
1

Fall is officially in the air here in New York and we couldn’t be more excited — this time of year is always my favorite! Since we’ve been hunkered down at home these past few months, it makes me want to cozy up even more this fall! In general I like to keep our fall home decor palette pretty neutral – lot’s of whites, natural textures and candles.

A few fall home decor items I have on my radar include —

Sabre flatware — dying to invest in a new set this fall.

My love for Juliska continues — I just picked up some more of there berry and thread dinnerware & coffee mugs.

McGee and Co always has a beautiful selection of pillows and throws that would compliment just about any fall decor palette. P.s. have you seen their new collection for Target?! Definitely worth a look or a visit to your local Target.

Simon Pearce hurricanes are also on my fall wish list. We’re hoping to maybe make a trip up to Vermont this fall and visit the flagship location! I love how Amanda from Fashionable Hostess styled them here.

Last but not least, if you’re in the decorating mood pop on over to The Avenue, Fete Home and JSH Home Essentials to take a peek at their various collections!! So good.

Easter Tabletop Inspiration
2

Top Easter Tabletop Decor — In case you love setting a table as much as I do, today I’m sharing my top easter tabletop decor from Williams Sonoma, Tory Burch & more!

Although Easter will look a little different for millions of families across the country this year, it shouldn’t stop us from setting the table! Today I’m rounding up some classic Easter tabletop decor.

Williams Sonoma, Juliska & Tory Burch all have so many pretty spring tabletop pieces that would compliment any Easter tablescape! And in case you like shopping for a cause, Juliska is offering 25% off with a portion of proceeds going to the Covid-19 Meals on Wheels fund.

A few Easter favorites —

Williams Sonoma’s etched tabletop collection reminds me of late grandmothers everyday glasses – I love the hand etching in the floral motif.
How cute are these little bunny bowls? You could easily incorporate these throughout your kitchen & living room!
If there is one collection I’ll be investing in next it’s Tory Burch’s Lettuce Ware tabletop — my girlfriend Nicole definitely inspired me here!
This pitcher is a table show stopper.

Hope everyone stays safe this week! For more tabletop inspiration, check out my interiors section right here. Xo. Lauren

Our Holiday Table with Juliska
0

You guys, it’s been so much fun decorating our apartment for the holidays!! Even with the minimal amount of time we had this year in-between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I was on a mission to get our place in order before the New Year. Did anyone else feel rushed this year, too?! Not only did we fully decorate (and re-decorate) our Christmas tree, I was able to stop by the flower market to pick up fresh greenery AND fully set our holiday table!! Needless to say, I felt v productive and absolutely loved how everything turned out just in the for Christmas.

So without further ado, today I’m so excited to share our holiday tablescape with Juliska!!

For this season’s holiday table, I knew I wanted to incorporate Juliska’s infamous Country Estate Winter Frolic collection. You most likely have seen the blue-and-white version but the country estate winter frolic collection in RUBY is insanely beautiful. As soon as I unwrapped these pieces, I knew they were instantly going to help me create a beautiful and timeless tablescape. I let the winter frolic dinner plates take center stage being sure not to cover them with napkins & layered them with Julisk’s white washed chargers and gold placemats — which are also just as stunning btw!!

Anytime we need glassware for our table, I always lean toward using their Amalia collection — specifically Juliska’s Amalia Tulip Champagne Flute and the Amalia Highball glasses. Not only do they help dress up the table but you can put them in the dishwasher, too!

For the center of the table we incorporated the Country Estate 13″ centerpiece bowl with two of Juliska’s Berry & Thread Hurricanes. What I love most about this tablescape is that even when we remove the place settings, the centerpiece bowl and hurricanes are just as beautiful displayed on our table. Give me all of that holiday glow!!

Do you have a theme for your holiday table this year?

P.s. if you have yet to try anything from Juliska, I cannot recommend adding a few pieces from their collection to your holiday wish list this year!! I cannot wait to continue to use & add to our collection for years to come. 🙂 You can see my blue and white tablescape from earlier this summer right here.

Happy holidays!! Xo. Lauren
