Episode 294: Freshen Up Post Holidays

January 1st, 2019  |  35 mins 4 secs

It's time to take out the Christmas decor, or at least start thinking about taking it down. Some people are sad and feel their homes look bare now, while others love the clean slate, and the bare look of their homes. No matter which side of the fence you sit on, we're talking about things you can do to transition to a winter look. What should go and what should stay? That's what we're talking about today. Of course, greenery, and pine cones, all of the natural touches can stay. The red touches, Santas, bells, and ornaments probably need to find a place to be stored until next year. We're fine with leaving out the mercury glass candle sticks, the fairy lights, and the boxwood balls and wreaths.

December 18th, 2018  |  37 mins 15 secs

Brown paper packages wrapped up with string. These are a few of my favorite things. We both agree simplier is better for wrapping gifts. We suggest using kraft paper or plain white wrapping paper with bakers twine or a simple ribbon bow. If you want more color, go with a simple two color paper, or go with tone on tone. Then match your ribbon to your wrapping paper color.
