Sunday I was so tired in the afternoon I thought I’d lie down. Nearly three hours later, I woke up to my studio at night. I thought of all my favorite things on holiday evenings: walking in Manhattan with the smoky scent of burnt-roasted chestnuts, watching The Nutcracker, wrapping presents, Zuzu snuggled by the woodstove, my tree and its vintage ornaments, and the aroma of baking from my husband’s kitchen.
What do you love about evenings during the holidays?
Until next time, stay shabby!
I’ll be sharing this with:
Get in the holiday spirit with all the talented participants!

Zoe's Modern Mint Nursery with Gold, Pink, and Black Accents Zoe's Nursery Lizzie Stewart of 346 Living set out to create a space for her daughter Zoe's nursery that was both reflective of Lizzie's style, but also a calming, peaceful space for Zoe that would grow with her. The result is this beautiful modern space that is sophisticated, feminine and clean with a touch of glam. Lizzie fell in love with a pale mint, pink, black, and gold palette, and it works so well for this space. After a lot of hunting, she finally found the perfect shade for the walls, Lighter Mint by Sherwin Williams. I love the shots of adorable baby Zoe and Lizzie in the room; it looks like a great fit for this cute pair! Lizzie styled the room quite smartly for the budget by: 1) Reusing items she already had, like the antique dresser and gold mirrored side table 2) Going DIY on a few pieces, like the IKEA drapes she trimmed in grosgrain ribbon and pom pom trim for the closet ones and the crib s...

DIY Moroccan-Style Wall Stencil Tutorial **UPDATE! If you have any trouble making your walls snazzy, visit my FAQ post on this tutorial. I got lots of questions, so there're all here for you should you need some help.** I jazzed up my wall with a DIY Moroccan-style pattern. And, the best part about this project?... it was completely free. One Pampers box and some leftover paint later and I really like my wall :) 1. Find a Moroccan-ish shape you like online and print it out whatever size you want (Google images is a good place to go). The larger you go... the less work it is. I had to tile mine onto 4 sheets of paper, then tape them together. Don't worry about the design being all blurry if it is, you can fix that in a minute. Once it's all taped, fold the paper in quarters and cut out your shape. When you unfold it, you will have a symmetrical pattern even if it started off blurry. Here is the shape I used if you want to do the same. Originally I was going to add that ce...
