SIMPLE AND CHIC DECORATING FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

December 15, 2010
  • Share

Foyer with dark wood floor, beadboard wall, a bench holding four presents and a large wreath

Who doesn’t want a little holiday cheer around their home? Why not?

One of my neighbors here in the Hollywood Hills has gone all out…with a brightly lit polar bear in his front yard to go along with a dazzling display of lights. I live on a trail (that means a narrow street where only one car at a time can go up and down)…and this neighbor lives directly across from me with his wife and daughter. His holiday spirit makes me smile every time I back into my garage in the evenings and see the cheerful display of lights. My house looks like Grinch’s house in comparison…no holiday spirit on the outside at all! Next year I’ll make my outdoor light debut with a demure dazzle of white lights…next year… In the meantime…for the inside of the house, I love silvers, greens and touches of sparkle, garland and pine to say “it’s the holidays!” Need to amp it up a bit inside the house this holiday. Have the day off so will work on my holiday cheer!

I love these photos…the holiday decor is perfect in my view…almost chic I would say…the simple use of a wonderful garland on a fireplace mantel or a pine wreath in foyer says it all in an understated way…! Happy Holidays!

Bedroom with wood floor, exposed beams, a large fireplace with a festive holiday garland

Please let me know what you think of these images…just the right amount of holiday spirit or not enough? Also please let me know what you think is your ideal holiday decor!

Happy Wednesday!

    The bedroom area needs some sparkle! Greens on the mantel just isn’t quite enough…….

    I really like the simplicity for this application, but it’s a little under done for my own personal taste.

    If I hadn’t gone all out with the pink this year, I would definitely gravitate towards this style- so chic and still relaxed- love the first picture!

    I am in love with that 1st pic. That is my style of decorating a little bit “less is more” and with that oversized wreath you need it to stay the hero in the house. Love it.

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Here’s a little throwback toHappy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
Here’s a little throwback to a Labor Day dinner party I hosted a few years ago, and honestly, we’d still do it this way. 🥂✨
Hosting this Labor Day? Keep it simple:
• Set the table with one statement detail + neutral basics
• Choose a menu you can prep ahead so you’re not cooking all night
• Add candles or flowers to make the table feel special
• Serve everything family-style for a more relaxed feel
• Don’t overthink it. The best dinners are the ones where everyone lingers a little longer 🤍
Save this for your next dinner party and send it to someone who’s hosting! 🍽️

The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. Soft, sculptural, and impossible to walk past without wanting to sit down. The rooms that get it right pair it with something unexpected: a dramatic mural, an antique screen, a city skyline, a hand-laid mosaic floor.
Which bouclé sofa room would you want to sink into? Drop your answer 👇

A well-designed bunk room isn’t just for kids. It’s about making every guest feel like they got the best bed in the house. Built-in storage, thoughtful lighting, and bedding that actually makes you want to climb up top.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎 This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎
Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.

How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️
I flew from Los Angeles to Nantucket for a very quick trip and I’m planning to find out.
Beautiful beaches, boats, gorgeous interiors, time with friends and one last little dose of August.
Turns out you don’t always need a whole week to feel like you got away. 🤍
So happy to be visiting bestie @francesgfayard and her husband Calvin and my godson Carter for a little last minute end of summer travel. New England at its best. Day 1 was a beautiful day. 🤩
