Hello and a very Happy Christmas friends!

Today we will be celebrating at my Mother in Laws lovely home in Warwick, NY. Marge is an amazing decorator! She was the first person I met who had more than one Christmas tree. She was also the first person I ever met who chose a different Christmas theme every year. Friends she was Insta before Insta! She is so incredibly creative. Over these last 23 Christmases she has astounded me with her decor. So what better way to revel on this special family day but, to honor Marge and share her home. Enjoy!

Marge has always designed and decorated, if she wanted it she created it. She has shared stories about the decor in their little side door stone home in a suburb of Philadelphia - when my husband and his older brother were babies. The wallpaper she painstakingly picked out and hung. She tells stories of the faux beams for her dream country kitchen in their next home in a lake community. Of amazing Drexel Heritage furnishings she chose… of twin yellow sofas.

When other women at the age of 84 are happy to sit about - Marge along with her business partner works as a Home Stager and Estate Sale Coordinator. She has designed and executed the holiday window displays in the shopping corridor in downtown Warwick. She has been hired to decorate homes for holidays. Previously she owned and operated her own Antiques business.

She is a tastemaker.

Til next time I wish you the most wonderful Christmas and time spent with loved ones!

A very Happy and Merry my friends. Today I’m sharing this years Christmas Decor!

I added pops of pink around the Chalet - I’ve decided everything is better with pink.

This year I received so much help from my husband and son trimming our tree. In years past Liam was too young (and I was too nervous about anything getting broken) to let him fully participate. As many of you know from following me on Instagram and Facebook we have a 6ft Decorator tree and we place (cram) four Rubbermaid bins of decor onto it! So many memories - there are ornaments on the tree I’ve enjoyed my entire life. The Shiny Briteswere my parents, The Angel was at the top of our tree every year while I was growing up. My mom fostered an appreciation for Christmas ornaments in me - whenever we traveled if I found an ornament - mom would buy it for me. I enjoy pointing those out to Liam and share where and when I got them and he always wants to know how old I was.
