I feel like I’m being just a tiny bit rebellious here. As a home blogger, I kind of have an obligation to bring you inspiration and pretty pictures to look at. I most definitely should have some kind of designer Christmas tree. I mean, having a kids’ tree is fine. Multi-colored lights and mis-matched ornaments […]

My friends, I have never owned a tree skirt. I’ve always just bunched up a length of whatever fabric I could find that looked good or a table cloth into a sort of fluffy tree-base cloud.
