Happy Holidays All! No matter how you celebrate the season, I hope you are having fun! Here is our new home all done up for the holidays. It is scaled back quite a bit since moving into our new (and much smaller) home, but I just can’t let go of my Maximalist leanings 🙂 Long-time followers of the blog will recognize most of our decor from the old house recycled in new ways for the new.

The only “new” things this year are the fresh wreaths and garland from trusty ‘ol Trader Joe’s, our adopted curb goose we brought home to live with us last year, and new sequined ribbon on our tree (75% off from an after-the-holidays sale at Neiman Marcus).

First, the Outside.

Herman the Goose with his (ornaments) eggs. He just makes me smile.

Look out in the distance and you can see the city lights looking to the West. I love our neighborhood! Just beyond the lights is the Great Salt Lake.

I will always have bubble lights.

Inside.

The quirky entry room/art studio/exercise room.

Overwintering the plants inside. In the Dining Room, my proclivity towards pink endures.

(oh! I almost forgot. We got a new rug, on sale from Wayfair.com (thank you Black Friday). I love it! It is bigger than the previous rug and makes the room look larger.)Max insisted on being in at least one of the pictures.The Living Room, pretty in pink.…I did add more goodies to the Nick Cave inspired chandelier 🙂

Have a marvelous Holiday Season and an outstanding New Year 🙂
