Whew, what a week it’s been down here in the South! We dipped into our first freezing temps, so I rushed a few plants inside to overwinter them… and then Mother Nature turned around and gave us the loveliest mild fall days. It’s that time of year when we get all four seasons in about three days, bless it.
I’m still in full-on decorating mode, pulling together all my Christmas touches so I can share the big reveal with you soon! Between fluffing garlands, I’ve been working on my gift guides and even wrapping a few presents as they arrive. I love getting ahead so December can feel slow, meaningful and family-filled.
How about you, friend? Do you deck the halls early, or wait until after Thanksgiving to bring everything out?
Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea or coffee, and get inspired with this week’s Home Style Saturday! Tour a festive Christmas front porch, learn to decorate with natural elements, browse lovely Thanksgiving centerpiece ideas, style cozy stair garland, and explore a serene blue-and-green Christmas living room.

Welcome to Home Style Saturday, your weekend dose of home inspiration!
Each Saturday, my sweet blog friends and I share some of our favorite decorating tips, seasonal ideas, easy recipes, DIY projects, and more, all straight from the heart and home. Think of it as flipping through a mini lifestyle magazine with your morning coffee.
We’re so glad to spend a little of your weekend with you. There’s something here for every season and every kind of homebody. xo, Laura
