We’re celebrating a Warm + Cozy Christmas this year. Cotton and twine, moss and vine… It’s natural, simple and full of space for creating our own family memories as we celebrate the reason for the season.

We’re dreaming of a warm and cozy Christmas this year! Partly because Charleston is expecting a VERY cold winter. Mostly because I saw some beautiful Christmas garlands at a local boutique that inspired a slew of comfy and soft DIY holiday projects. Unintentionally, every Christmas holds its own theme in our house. Our first married Christmas the theme was “minimalistic”. (AKA we were poor newlyweds and only decorated with an 18″ metal tree I bought for 50% off at Hobby […]
