I will only recommend products or services I use personally and/or believe will add value to my readers, so there is no conflict of interest. Romantic Fairycore Cottage The spring season is approaching, and cottagecore and fairycore home decor styles are becoming more prevalent. The two design aesthetics often overlap, making it easy to create magical interiors. This time of year (as winter slowly rolls into spring) is ideal for refreshing and breathing new life into your interiors. One room you can’t ignore is the bedroom. Did you know you spend a third of your life sleeping? And that does not include all the other activities in that space, such as dressing, reading, or working. So why not turn your bedroom into a romantic hideaway or enchanting escape from reality? This month’s challenge was to work on design inspiration for a bedroom that embraces a combination of cottage and fairy aesthetics to create a comfortable, romantic space you will never want to leave! In the spirit of the season, I put together a mood board with decor finds from one of my favorite shops on Amazon—the Touch of Class Store! Item 1—Butterfly Eden Oversized Grande Queen Bedspread with Butterflies, Dragonflies, and Ferns We’ll start with this gorgeous cotton bedspread (and inspiration for this mood board). The bedspread features ferns, butterflies, and dragonflies printed on an eggshell background. I love how the design embraces nature while feeling light and airy, and the scalloped edges feel nostalgic and feminine. Whether you are into fairycore, cottagecore, or both, this bedspread will look charming on your bed! Item 2—18” Square Butterfly Eden Decorative Throw Pillow with Tie Accent The first of three decorative pillows to match the bedding is this throw pillow with butterflies and ferns on an eggshell background with an adorable bow tie in the front. The same printed design can be found on the bedspread. Item 3—14 x 20 Butterfly Eden Butterfly Kisses Decorative Throw Pillow Another pillow that matches the bedding is this rectangular throw pillow with Butterfly Kisses and a butterfly on a moss-green background. Nothing says cottage aesthetic like butterflies! Item 4—16” Square Pillow Butterfly Eden Decorative Throw Pillow with Butterfly Medallion The third decorative throw pillow that matches the bedding is this 16 x 16 pillow with a butterfly medallion set in a moss green and eggshell background. Use this accent pillow on the bed or a comfortable armchair to create a cohesive look. Item 5—Victorian-Style Fleur de Lis Lace Swag Valance Pair, 75 x 38 Inches This pair of fleur de lis lace curtains with long flowing fringe has a distinctly old-fashioned look with a feminine vibe. The ivory color matches the eggshell background of the bedspread and keeps the room feeling light and airy. Item 6—Aldora Butterfly Wall Art, Set of 3 These gold resin butterflies feel so magical! Arrange them alone or add them to other wall accents to create your ideal fairy aesthetic. Item 7—Forever Blooms Three-Dimensional Openwork Floral Wall Art Add springtime magnolias to your decor scheme with this hand-painted metal flower wall art. The flowers and ferns are painted in subtle pastel colors, surrounded by a gold frame. The open style of this wall art makes it feel like it’s floating on your wall! Item 8—Set of 3 Kiss of Nature Canvas Wall Art The nature and vintage themes are continued with this three-panel wall art with beautifully painted magnolias, ferns, birds, scrollwork, and faded script. Item 9—Rochelle Gothic Style Wall Mirror in Ivory A fairy bedroom needs a fairy mirror, right? This vertical wall-hanging mirror mimics the look of Gothic windows from a medieval fairy castle. Item 10—Blooming Rose Resin Wall Shelves, Set of 2 The color of this set of resin wall shelves is In keeping with the light color of the mirror, curtains, and bedspread. The carved roses introduce an air of romance and are the perfect foundation for candles, flowers, books, or figurines. Item 11—Magnolias Resin Spindle Candleholders in Antique White, Set of 2 A romantic bedroom needs candleholders! This pair of candlesticks is 16.5” high, perfect for pillar candles. The magnolia blossoms that ring the top match similar motifs in other home accents, and the antique white color complements the mirror and wall shelves. Item 12—Magnolia and Butterfly Resin Sculpture Magnolias and butterflies seem to be the theme, and I couldn’t resist this resin statue with cream magnolias and monarch butterflies! Item 13—Set of 2 Fairy Concerto Resin Figurines We couldn’t rightly say we had a fairy-themed room without fairies! It is well known that fairies love music, so this set of fairies—one playing the violin and the other the mandolin—will be that much-needed touch of magic this space is missing! Item 14—Trento Tiffany-Inspired Art Nouveau Stained Glass Table Lamp The stained glass design on this Tiffany-style table lamp includes a cream color background with green leaves and looks perfect sitting next to the bedspread. The lamp base has a feminine flair with scrolled vines and leaves. Item 15—Abbott Cherry Vintage-Style Accent Table with a Drawer and Three Shelves We finish this list with a nightstand that grounds the space with a darker color that still complements the style of the rest of the decor. The table has a Victorian feel—tying it in with other decorative elements—and the fluid curves are quite feminine. The Tiffany-style lamp would look perfect perched on this table! Those are my favorite picks from the Touch of Class Amazon store. Let me know what you think in the comments! Related blogs you may want to read:

Cottagecore is an aesthetic that embraces simple, quiet living with a focus on the home, handmade and vintage items, homemade food, self-sufficiency, and a slower pace of life. The aesthetic of Cottagecore reflects the desire to live in a more romanticized way by surrounding yourself with flowery, feminine, and nostalgic things. It is the antithesis of our hectic, materialistic, modern way of life. The inspiration for the Cottagecore aesthetic has its roots in traditional English cottages and gardens where buildings and vintage furniture have been passed down from generation to generation, becoming comfortably worn with time and creating a connection with the past. You can incorporate Cottagecore into many design styles—such as Coastal, French Country, Farmhouse, Light Academia, Bohemian, and Fairycore—to add a sense of quiet, comfort, and homeyness. Item 1—Antique Rose 100% Cotton Quilted Pillow Sham, Standard 20x26-inch from the Greenland Home Store The first item on this list are these Victorian-style pillow shams with feminine pink flowers that add an antique-looking English Cottage touch to a bed.

The muted colors make this rug look time-worn and vintage. Item 4—Embroidered Floral Throw Pillow Covers Set of 2, 18x18 inches from the K MASANIJI Store The floral design on linen fabric with the lace border is undeniably reminiscent of Grandma’s house! Item 5—Woodland Cottage Ceramic Canister from the Young’s Inc Store Place a few rustic ceramic canisters on your counter to bring an instant Cottagecore look to your kitchen!

Inspirational ideas for creating that cozy boho style Nine hygge decor ideas Winter color palette ideas for your home decor How to handle corners in Celtic knotwork Drawing borders with knotwork patterns can be a gratifying way to add drama to art pieces, picture frames, mirror frames, and trays. But what happens when you get to the corners? Dealing with corners can be tricky, but there are a few ways to handle this dilemma. One way to deal with the issue is to create a design or small piece of artwork specifically for the corners, separate from the border. This could be a stand-alone design or could be woven into the border in some creative way. You could even create a corner design that overlaps the borders. If you want a more consistent appearance for your border, a repetitive pattern created on a grid will help lay out your knot design. A simple repetitive square grid will allow you to produce a continuous border that handles that 90˚ turn with ease. This is the technique I will show you in the following two tutorial videos. A few basic knotwork border tutorial videos If you need a refresher on how to create simple Celtic knot borders—or are new to drawing knots—the following video tutorials will help you get a handle on the basics of drawing borders and using grids.

If you are wondering what all the noise is about hygge, I wrote a whole blog on the topic, which you can read here! To summarize, hygge is about keeping your life simple and meaningful. It’s about enjoying being in the moment, the company of good friends, and the little things in life. Just to clarify, hygge is not an interior design style. It’s a way to live your life with meaning and joy. In my previous blog, I identified nine essential ingredients in a hygge home: a neutral color palette, warm lighting, pleasing textures, nature and natural materials, pleasant scents, simple design, handmade decor, cozy nooks, and hot beverage stations. Each of the items listed below encompasses at least one of these elements. Let me know in the comments if you have purchased—or plan to purchase—one of these items.

Soft moss a downy pillow makes And green leaves spread a tent, Where Faerie folk may rest and sleep Until their night is spent. The bluebird sings a lullaby; The firefly gives a light: The twinkling stars are candles bright, Sleep, Faeries all, Good Night. Elizabeth T. Dillingham, "A Faery Song" If your home is your castle, the fairycore decor trend is for you! Fairycore is more of a state of mind than a trend. You don’t have to completely immerse yourself in a room straight from a Grimm’s fairy tale; that would be too cliche. But a subtle reminder here and there, a decorative detail that catches your eye as you enter a room, is enough to awaken the subconscious inner child who still believes that magic exists in this chaotic, unpredictable world. And even if fairies aren’t quite your thing, a little woodland magic might convince you otherwise! For the true believers among you and future converts alike, here are 21 home accents that will help you add a touch of fairy woodland magic to your living room… Item 1—Cheesecloth Table Runner 35 x 120 Inches, Nude & Beige from Vitalizart Store The first item on the list is this cheesecloth table runner with soft blush and brown colors and an ombre effect that reminds me of tree rings.

The cloche with soft-lit LED mushrooms can serve as a nightlight or an accent for your fairy-themed vignette. Item 4—Leaf Shaped Ceramic Spoon Holder with Spoon from Dunluobo This ceramic leaf dish can be used as a spoon rest in your kitchen, or you can place it on a tray on your coffee table filled with your favorite woodland accents. The accompanying gold spoon is fit for a fairy queen! Item 5—Vintage Botanical Wall & Animal Art Print (Unframed) from the 97 Decor Store These woodland animal and botanical wall art prints can be clustered together or sprinkled throughout the room to create a moody, magical look for your space. The art prints come with adhesive dots, but you could create a more charming look by setting them inside coordinating frames. This wall art would also go well with cottagecore or dark academia decor if that’s more your style. Item 6—Resin Mushroom Decor from Barydat This resin home accent features realistic-looking mushrooms growing out of a fallen log.

Inspirational ideas for creating that cozy boho style Nine hygge decor ideas Winter color palette ideas for your home decor Are you looking for a quick, easy DIY idea for a welcoming holiday wreath? This DIY idea will take about 15 minutes to put together and is perfect for a last-minute touch or to fill an empty space on a door or wall. Supplies I used: grapevine wreath base faux juniper or pine red berries small white berries pine cones gold poinsettias red velvet ribbon hanger How to assemble: Insert 6-8 pine stems on either side of the center at the bottom of the wreath base. Insert three poinsettias at the center between these stems. Insert berries, pinecones, and other florals evenly on both sides of the poinsettias. Tweak your florals until you have the look you want. Find your favorite ribbon and tie it in a simple bow at the top of the wreath. And voila! You have a simple rustic wreath ready to hang on a mirror, wall, mantle, or door! Just an FYI…I did not use hot glue for my wreath because I take my wreaths apart often to create new floral designs. If you want your wreath to be permanent or if it will be exposed to the outdoors, you will want to use glue so your florals are more secure.

Beautiful new decorations from the latest trending collections are impressive and make for gorgeous holiday interiors, but you can achieve a welcoming interior for your holiday guests on a budget. Today’s DIY will show you a simple way to create a statement for your front door using a grapevine wreath and faux florals from your own stash. You could even create something similar with florals from your local dollar store. Supplies needed: grapevine wreath base faux juniper or pine faux eucalyptus red berries pine cones white berries gold glitter stems door hanger How to assemble: For this wreath design, work your stems into the base going in a clockwise direction. Insert the main greenery stems into your base, slightly overlapping as you work your way around in a clockwise direction. Add more greenery around the outside & inside of the wreath. Add in evenly-spaced eucalyptus stems. Insert evenly-spaced pinecones. Place red berries into the wreath, keeping them evenly spaced. Odd numbers will look the best. Insert evenly-spaced cream berries. Give the wreath a little glitter with some gold floral stems. Add any final touches, fill empty spaces with greenery, and hang! A quick note…If you want to hang this wreath outside, you may want to use a dab of hot glue as you insert your stems so that everything stays secure. Happy Holidays!

I spent the past month writing blogs about different holiday decor styles and color schemes. This research inspired me to be brave and experiment with my usual Christmas tree decor. So, one sunny afternoon, I went shopping for ideas for my tree and ended up at Hobby Lobby, where I was greeted with a 50% off Christmas decor sale! (I’m not an affiliate or sponsored by Hobby Lobby.) My goal was to find some gorgeous extra wide ribbons and greenery to fill out my tree and wreaths. I walked out with a bundle of red cardinals, fluffy white owls, faux juniper sprays…and no ribbon. The ribbon aisle was picked clean, but the birds inspired me to create an entirely different decor scheme than was planned. So I came home and rifled through the trim-a-tree boxes and ribbon totes in search of ornaments and ribbons to coordinate with the stuff I bought. Long story short, this year’s Christmas tree features red, white, and gold decor. Which brings me to today’s little tutorial… I have this wonderful knack for creating projects for myself! Today’s project was to make some gold swag tree ornaments for my tree to give it more elegance and add visual variety. These ornament swags are a simple and inexpensive way to create a little holiday bling, but you don’t have to use gold pearls. Any color pearls or beads would work well for this project. I will say this project was a little fiddly, but the finished pieces were so worth it and took the look of my tree to another level! Supplies needed: Pearl strands (or beads) Hanging strings Gold ribbon or twine for the ends Hot glue gun Assembly: Cut three pearl strands for each swag at 10”, 8”, and 6”. Cut two hanging strings for each swag 6.5” in length. Find the ribbon or twine you would like to use to wrap and finish off the ends. Grab your hot glue gun. Lay down a small piece of ribbon and line up each pearl strand evenly, arranged from shortest to longest. Grab one piece of hanging string, fold it in half, and hot glue the ends on top of the glued pearls. Now you have the loop for one side of your swag. Wrap the pearl strand ends with your ribbon or twine—keeping them flat (not bunched up)—and secure with glue. Once one end is secure, create a loop or swag with the pearl strands so that the opposite ends line up. Make adjustments as needed for the desired spaces between the strands. Slide your ribbon or twine under this end of the strands and follow the same steps as the first side. Once the glue is set, you can hang your new ornament on the tree! Let me know if you tried this project in the comments. If you did try it, what variation in materials did you use? Happy crafting…and Merry Christmas!

I will only recommend products or services I use personally and/or believe will add value to my readers, so there is no conflict of interest. First of all, let’s define “Scandi”… Scandinavian (Scandi) decor is all about simplicity and hygge. It’s about creating a warm, welcoming interior with rustic yet clean modern lines. Your decor should include natural materials like wood and fur, candles for a warm, soft glow, warm blankets for cozy snuggling, and a fireplace for warmth if you can pull it off. Consider using simple furniture, natural materials, calm colors, and plenty of texture. A Scandinavian Christmas is about celebrating the joy in the simple things the season has to offer. Keep things simple, purposeful, and uncluttered. A splash of greenery and a pop of red works well with this decor style, just don’t overdo it. You could even sneak in a bit of gold for some seasonal sparkle. The focus should be on enjoying the things found in nature during the winter season, so bring bits of the outdoors into your home with reindeer, pine trees, snowflakes, berries, pine cones, nuts, wood logs, and even birds. And don’t forget the obligatory gnomes! Gnomes protect your home and keep out negative energy. To help you get started, here are some happy hygge holiday decor ideas from Amazon… Item 1— 7.5 ft Artificial Norwegian Spruce Tree by the National Tree Company Store Standing at 7.5 feet tall and about 58” in diameter, this tree is intentionally minimal in design. The negative space created by the pine branches leaves plenty of room for Scandi-style tree decor to fill in the gaps. Item 2— Set of 12 Unfinished Natural Wood Bead Ornaments by Sage In Thyme Natural wood beads are very trendy right now. These 5” long beads with twine loops for hanging look right at home in a rustic interior. They are clean, minimal, and rustic, perfect for a Scandi-style tree. Item 3— 4” Red and White Ribbon Ball Ornaments by Christmas Market Ornaments Add a pop of red and a little Swedish charm to your tree with these lightweight polyfoam Christmas tree ball ornaments. The stitching has a folksy, hand-sewn feel. Items 4 & 5— 12 ft Wooden Bead Garland by Canlierr Add a little color to the tree with these painted wooden red and gold bead garlands. Each garland is 12 feet long and perfect for draping around the branches of the Norwegian Spruce Tree. Item 6— 28 Piece Pinecone Set with White Snow Accents by the JOHOUSE Store Bring a bit of nature indoors with these real pinecones with hanging ribbons. Use them to dress up the Scandinavian tree or place them in bowls or on tables around the room. Item 7— Set of 9 Wooden Reindeer Christmas Ornaments by the Unittype Store These laser-cut wood ornaments come with hanging twine and are perfect for use on the tree or as gift tags. The rustic design matches the Joy sign, wood beads, and tree topper. Item 8— Set of 12 Silk Wrapped Ornaments by Fsforcar If you want to add a little glitz to your tree, try these foam silk-wrapped ornaments. The ball ornaments are embellished with sequins, beads, and gold thread that adds a bit of glitter without being overly pretentious. Item 9— Wooden Snowflake Christmas Tree Topper by The Lakeside Collection Store Your Christmas tree needs the right tree topper to complete the Scandi holiday look. This beautiful natural-colored wood snowflake is 20 3/4” in diameter and matches the wood ornaments on the Scandi mood board. Item 10— Set of 6 Reindeer Tea Light Candle Holders by FUNPENY No Scandi-style interior is complete without candles! This set of six reindeer tea light candle holders can be displayed as a group or placed separately around the room to create a warm glow. Item 11— Swedish Candelabra with 5 Flameless Taper Candles by the Lewondr Store Add a Nordic flair to your windowsill or tablescape with this Swedish candelabra. The snowflake design mirrors other design elements on this mood board, such as the snowflake tree topper, helping to bring a cohesive look to your space. Item 12— Set of 2 15.7” Tall Metal Christmas Tree Candle Holders with LED Candles by the Lulu Home Store The simplicity of these tree-shaped metal candle holders makes them perfect for a Scandi table. The copper hand-painted metal candle holders include flickering LED candles to mimic real flames. Item 13— Rustic Wooden Joy Sign by the Eternhome Store Spread some joy this season with this rustic wood sign with simple Christmas greenery. The design of the metal deer and tree goes well with the wooden reindeer tree ornaments, adding to the cohesiveness of the decor. Item 14— Cream Sherpa Throw Blanket 50 x 60 inches by the Bedsure Store Bring in some cozy hygge elements with blankets like this warm reversible fleece blanket with a shaggy Jacquard pattern on the one side.

Simply elegant…That’s the vibe you get when you pair gold with white for your holiday decor! This look is easy to pull off if your everyday decor is already white, such as with Farmhouse or modern styles. But you could use the gold and white color combo strategy to give almost any interior space a touch of elegance. Today’s mood board is all about embracing the bright and airy feel of white home accents with a touch of glamour. The overall style of the board is traditional, but it would have been quite simple to create a much more modern look as well. The gold and white combination is versatile, and the results are incredibly indulgent and gratifying! Here are a few decor ideas to get you started… Item 1— White Satin Wire Ribbon with Gold Snowflakes by the Ribbon Traditions Store This list starts with a beautiful winter-themed white satin wire ribbon with glittery gold snowflakes. The wire ribbon is perfect for Christmas trees, banisters, decorative bows, or gifts. Each roll is 360 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. Item 2— Set of 4 15” Gold and White Nutcrackers by the KI Store If you collect nutcrackers for your Christmas decor this is for you! It is a set of four gold and white soldier and king nutcrackers, each standing 15 inches high. I especially love the shimmer of the glittery gold paint! Item 3— Set of 3 White Porcelain Houses by Mark Feldstein & Associates This set of three porcelain row houses has a delightful old-world charm. Group them to create a village or place them separately on tables or a fireplace mantle. Light them up with tea lights for a warm glow. These houses stand about 8 inches tall. Item 4— White and Gold 54” Tree Skirt by Kurt S. Adler This gorgeous tree skirt is an ample 54 inches in diameter. The white polyester fabric has a pattern of delicate gold vines and sequined holly that makes an elegant statement to complete the look of your holiday tree. Item 5— Set of 2 White and Gold Christmas Stockings by Valery Madelyn The Valery Madelyn shop has some of my favorite Christmas and holiday decor items this year, including these 21-inch velvet embroidered stockings with sequins and rhinestones. These luxurious stockings would make such an opulent statement on a mantle or hung on a railing! Item 6— 6ft Pre-Lit Garland with Poinsettias and Ornaments by Valery Madelyn And speaking of Valery Madelyn…This pre-lit 6-foot garland with warm LED lights is adorned with white and gold florals, ribbons, and festive ornaments. What table, mantle, or window wouldn’t look gorgeous with one of these?!

And take a look at the pinecones and realistic branches! This tree is beautiful before you even put decorations on it! Item 11— 30ct Gold and White Shatterproof Christmas Ornaments by Valery Madelyn The Valery Madelyn shop makes another appearance! These visually stunning gold ornaments would look stunning on that Carolina pine and are shatterproof. Hanging strings are included. Item 12— 12pc Glitter Gold Berry Stems by the Childom Store I’ll end this list with these gold glitter berries. Use by themselves or with other faux florals as a tree topper, tree filler, wreath florals, garland filler, or in a vase as a floral arrangement. Related blogs you may want to read:

Inspirational ideas for creating that cozy boho style Nine hygge decor ideas Winter color palette ideas for your home decor In a previous tutorial, we created a circular Celtic braid. This tutorial will be a simpler version of that design, just a basic twist that I will be using in a new piece of Celtic art—a High Cross. Gather your supplies: Drawing pencils Markers Blending stumps Eraser Clic eraser Ruler Horse hair brush Grid paper Sketch pad Tracing paper (This supply list contains affiliate links, as I am an affiliate of Blick Art Materials. If you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. I will only recommend products or services I use personally and/or believe will add value to my readers, so there is no conflict of interest.) Before we start: Guidelines should be drawn using light pressure and/or a 2H drawing pencil so that they can be easily erased. Also, you may want to watch this YouTube tutorial, especially if you are only using a few basic tools: Now let’s get into the circular twist border tutorial! Step 1: Draw a circle 6.25” in diameter and a second inner circle 4.25” in diameter. Step 2: Draw a circle 1/8” (or half a grid box if you are using grid paper) from each of these circles on the inside of the ring. This will be your decorative border. Step 3: Lightly draw a circle at the center point in between these two sets of border lines. This will be the first part of the grid to help you draw the twist. Step 4: Divide the ring into quarters using your ruler, or line up on grid paper. Step 5: Now divide the quarters in half, creating 8 sections. Use the technique from this tutorial to find the center of the arc by drawing overlapping circles and lining up the points where they intersect. Step 6: Divide these sections in half to create 16 sections. Step 7: And finally, divide those sections in half again to create 32 sections. Step 8: Pick a square from this new grid to start. As shown below, draw a pair of “C”s from corner to corner. Think of this as the start of a thread, making your piece of thread as thin or as thick as you like, depending on how much space you want to take up and the style you want to create. Step 9: Now fill the rest of the grid—top and bottom—with these same pairs of “C”s as shown. Try to keep your thread widths consistent. You will now have a circular grid full of links. Step 10: Erase the intersections between the links to allow you to work more easily on the overs and unders. Step 11: Pick a place to start and create your first over-under intersection. Do not jump around. Work from this point and follow the pattern around the ring, making sure you end up with a thread that alternates over and under. Step 12: Erase all the guidelines and clean up your lines as needed. Step 13: Add shading and stylize! You’re finished! How did it go? Let me know in the comments below!

Item 1— 16” Santa Figurine in Blue Clothing by the Windy Hill Collection This wintry list starts with this gorgeous Santa figurine decked out in cobalt blue fabric with silver and white embellishments. The exquisite details include intricate sequin designs and faux fur. Further decorative details include a silver goodie bag with presents, jingle bells, and jewels. Item 2— Set of 3 Silver Candle Holders by DRELIFAM These luxurious candle holders are made of iron with a shiny silver finish. The crowns have an intricate vintage-style design and hold pillar candles up to 3” in diameter. The height of the candle holders are 9”, 11”, and 12”. Item 3— 16” White Swedish Christmas Gnome by the Funoasis Store Your winter decor is not complete unless you have a gnome! This adorable plushy gnome is made of wool felt with a resin nose. Items 4 & 5— 14 Pack 7.8” Glitter Berry Stems by the DearHouse Store Blue and white foam glitter berries can be mixed to create a festive tree topper or stuffed randomly into the tree to accent your ornaments. They also make a nice winter holiday arrangement for a table centerpiece. Item 6— 70ct Winter Wonderland Shatterproof Christmas Tree Ornaments by the Valery Madelyn Store I’m crushing over the holiday decor in the Valery Madelyn Store! This shop offers so many gorgeous ornaments but I particularly liked this set in silver, white, aqua, and navy. Item 7— Set of 3 Iced Glass Flameless Pillar Candles by Mark Feldstein & Associates If your table or mantle needs a touch of frosty pizzazz, try these frosted glass candle holders with a silver snowflake and jewel on the front! The candle holders have battery-operated flickering LED candles and are 4”, 5”, and 6” in height. Item 8— Set of 2 White Woodland Reindeer Figurines by naturevibe I fell in love with these white reindeer the second I saw them! The silver antlers with realistic-looking white fur and frosted wreaths would look beautiful on a mantle all winter. Item 9— Mamma Bear with Baby White Woodland Figurine by naturevibe And here is another figurine from the same shop—a mama bear with a cub riding on her back. How adorable is this! This piece has the same realistic-looking fur as the deer and is about 12.6” high. Item 10— Set of 3 Blue and Silver Velvet Christmas Stockings by New Traditions Simplify Your Holiday Store Aren’t these Christmas stockings elegant?! They are 20” long with dark blue velvet fabric, taffeta piping, and silver sequin vines… Item 11— Blue and Silver Velvet Christmas Tree Skirt by New Traditions Simplify Your Holiday Store And they match this tree skirt made of the same material with the same snowflake and swirls design. This velvet tree skirt is an ample 48” in diameter. Item 12— Large Blue and White Christmas Bow by Hying I found these beautiful blue and white bows with snowflake designs and thought they’d make festive tree toppers or decorative bows for railings, doors, or banisters. The bows are a substantive size at 19.6” x 11.4”. Item 13— White Satin 2.5” Wide Wired Ribbon with Silver Snowflakes by the CT CRAFT LLC Store Staying with the snowflake design element, this white satin ribbon with silver snowflakes could be used to deck out your Christmas tree, banisters, or even gifts. The 2.5” wide ribbon has wire to keep your bows in shape, and you have 10 yards of ribbon on each roll. Item 14— 9ft Pre-Lit Christmas Garland with Silver and Blue Ornaments by Valery Madelyn The greenery for this mood board includes this 9ft garland with blue ribbon, pinecones, and ornate silver, white, and blue ornaments. The garland is lit with battery-operated warm LED lights. Item 15— 30” Pre-Lit Christmas Wreath with Silver and Blue Ornaments by Valery Madelyn The door wreath was chosen to match the garland and also from the Valery Madelyn shop. This is one of many wreaths I could’ve selected from that shop, but I love the variety of textures and shades of blue. Like the garland, this wreath is lit with warm LED lights. Item 16— 7.5ft Flocked Artificial Christmas Tree by the Goplus Store This blue, white, and silver color scheme goes best with a frosted tree, so we’ll end this list with this 7.5-foot flocked Christmas tree. The tree comes in 4 sections with an X-shaped foldable iron tree stand. Related blogs you may want to read:

Inspirational ideas for creating that cozy boho style Nine hygge decor ideas Winter color palette ideas for your home decor Are you looking for a recipe for a spicy shrimp and rice dish? Well, I may have found just the recipe for you! Every time I see someone make a paella, I start to drool! I’ve always wanted to give it a try myself, but I don’t have a pan that big! So when I stumbled across this spicy cajun recipe, I thought it would make a delicious substitute. I’ve cooked this simple recipe a few times, and it tasted great every time! If you’re looking for an easy spicy dish that feeds a few people, this is your dish! As always, I doubled the original recipe (link at the end of this blog) to accommodate my family of five… Ingredients: 3 cups brown rice 32 oz chicken broth 2 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 stick butter, cut in half 2 tsp minced garlic Seasoning: 3 tsp paprika 2 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp cayenne 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes Mix spices in a bowl. Divide in half. In a large pot, melt butter. Add garlic and saute just a little (20 seconds or so). Add uncooked rice and half of the spice mixture. Stir well to mix and coat the rice. Add in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is just about cooked. Melt butter in a separate pot. Mix cooked shrimp (I bought precooked, deveined) with butter and the second half of the spices. Make sure the shrimp is evenly coated. Heat through for just a couple of minutes. Add heated shrimp to rice and mix. Cover and heat together for a couple more minutes. (Don’t overcook the shrimp or burn the rice.) The first time I tried this recipe, I purchased raw shrimp. Maybe I am being lazy, but I found the process of removing shells to be time-consuming. The next time I tried the same recipe, I opted for pre-cooked shrimp. You can use either brown or white rice in this dish. Just as an FYI, this dish is very spicy! If you don’t like spicy foods, you may want to use fewer spices—or even a different combination of spices—according to your preferences. The third time I cooked this dish, I added leftover cooked broccoli. It turned out to be a delicious variation of this dish!

I have definitely fallen for this year’s color trend of pairing blue with orange! Isn’t the tablecloth luscious?! The design concept for this mood board is Modern Rustic with a touch of gold for elegance. Simple line and texture is combined with contrasting cool blue and warm orange. This is such a vibrant festive look for your fall or Thanksgiving table! Details for each piece of decor on the board are below… Item 1— Matisse Dinnerware 16pc set, Taupe by Gibson Elite Store You can’t have Thanksgiving dinner without dinnerware, right?! Let’s kick off this list with dinnerware set for four, including dinner plates, dessert plates, double-size dinner bowls, and cereal bowls. Dishwasher and microwave safe, this taupe stoneware is the perfect blend of simple modern form with a rustic color and texture. Item 2— 20 Piece Stainless Steel Matte Gold Cutlery Set by DEACORY This brass-dipped stainless steel gold cutlery set looks beautiful beside the taupe dinnerware. The roundness of the edges gives this cutlery a modern feel, and the matte finish tones down the gold finish, making this an excellent choice for a beautiful Modern Rustic table setting. Item 3— Autumn Table Runner with Pumpkins, 108” long by AmbeHome This clean-edged tablecloth with blue and rust-colored pumpkins would make a beautiful statement on your Thanksgiving table! The cotton linen material is soft and easy to wash. Pair this with the Matisse dinnerware set and the matte gold cutlery, and you have the beginnings of a Modern Rustic tablescape! Item 4— 12 pack Cotton Polyester Blend Hotel Grade Dinner Napkins, 18 x 18 inch by Utopia Kitchen I chose these napkins for the simple look of the fabric and solid rust-orange color. The orange brings out the rust color from the pumpkins on the table runner and creates a warm feel to each place setting. Item 5— Metal Fall Leaf Napkin Rings, Set of 8 by Pcineio Dress up your cloth napkins with these fall leaf napkin rings! Give each place setting a little autumn pizzazz with a single gold fall leaf to represent the spirit of the season. Item 6— Vintage Style Hobnail Glassware Set, 16 pieces by meekoo Store Serve your guests their favorite drinks in these vintage-style hobnail glasses! These amber-colored glasses have a modern feel with a tactile texture of smooth round hobnail details that you can’t resist picking up! Item 7— 12 inch Round Farmhouse Boho Wood Beaded Tray by HPC DEC R OUR HAPPY PLACE Store This rustic tray is a nod to the feel of the boho or Farmhouse styles while maintaining a simple, round form. The tray comes in brown or white, but I think the brown creates a nice contrast against the pumpkin table runner mentioned earlier. Item 8— Hand Glazed 9 inch Boho Farmhouse White Ceramic Vase by LiteViso Store This white ceramic vase has a nice balance of rustic weathering and clean, vertical, modern lines. The color and texture also complement the dinnerware mentioned at the beginning of this list. Place real or faux florals in this vase for the perfect fall table centerpiece! Item 9— Fall Silk Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Leaves by Sggvecsy Store The ceramic vase needs florals, so why not create a simple arrangement with these rust-colored silk eucalyptus branches? The rust color mirrors the warm oranges in the table runner and napkins, and the round silver dollar leaves feel simple and modern. Item 10— Resin Pumpkin Figurines, Set of 3 by Prsildan Create thankful vibes at your Thanksgiving dinner table with this set of three resin pumpkins! The white ceramic pumpkins each have a positive affirmation for your guests. The gold stems pick up the gold elements in the rest of the tablescape. Item 11— Speckled Mercury Gold Glass Votive Candle Holders, set of 36 by LETINE Store And speaking of gold elements—no tablescape is complete without these mercury votive candle holders! Place LED tea lights in these gold candle holders to create a warm, elegant glow for your family dinner. Item 12— Smokey Blue Glass Candle Holders, Set of 3 by Lewondr Store There are a lot of rust and orange colors listed here, so I thought I’d balance it out by ending with these blue taper candle holders. The smokey blue color complements the blue hues in the table runner and gives the tablescape a nice counterbalance to all the other warm colors. The sleek style also creates a sense of balance between the modern and the rustic elements. Related blogs you may want to read:
