Dwell :: Decorating a Small Space for the Holidays
In my last post I mentioned that this year we won’t be getting a tree because it will not last more than a few minutes with our 85 pound 8 month old German Shepherd mix puppy! These days I find him chewing on anything – which includes our cat, so I think we made a wise choice to not get a large tree this year. However, I am a bit sad about it so I am looking for other ways to decorate our place for the holidays. I love this time of year and it makes me so happy to have the fireplace on, the candles and tree lit. Here are some ideas if you…

DIY Christmas Craft & Decor Ideas
This year might be the first time in a long time we won’t be getting a Christmas tree. I just don’t think it would be a good idea since our 8 month old puppy is still chewing everything in sight and he will probably think the tree, ornaments and presents are just for him to eat and destroy. So I am planning on making some other holiday crafts that we can make to celebrate the season and put up and away from prying puppy eyes. Hope you enjoy these holiday ideas as well!

Dwell :: Modern Holiday Decor & Crafts
We are preparing to host Thanksgiving this year and found some wonderful recipes to try out as well as décor ideas. Make sure to check out these posts to get some new ideas as well! Friends, Christmas will be here before you know it and I find it less stressful if I take care of my shopping way ahead of time so I can actually sit back and enjoy the season with family and friends. I don’t know how people can go shopping the day or so before Christmas at the malls – how stressful! So here’s to planning a bit ahead (we have a little over 6 weeks left) and enjoy trying out a few of these…

Wickedly Fun Halloween Party Ideas
Every year since my daughter was about two years old we have hosted the neighborhood Halloween party. And each year my daughter and I are looking for some new ideas for decorating our front lawn and party table. She is quite the character and has been drawn to the sparkly skeleton heads found at Target the past few years so we do have an overabundance of skulls and bones! We set up a section reserved just for these spooky things but I wanted to find some new ideas that we can include in this years pot-luck party that both young and old can enjoy. We found some spooky and not so spooky DIY…
