Season Shining in the Garden

First-time holiday decorator? No worries! With a bit of help from The Home Depot, Stacie Abdallah of Stacie’s Spaceswas able to infuse some holiday flair into her outdoor garden and arbor for the first time. Check out her blog below for some great DIY tips and tricks!

Can I let you in on a little secret? I have NEVER decorated outside for Christmas! I know… that sounds crazy right? I love decorating the interior of our home for the holidays, but I have never attempted to do it outside. When The Home Depot  invited me to participate in the Holiday Style Challenge, I was both nervous and excited! It was time to step out of my comfort zone (literally) and try my hand at lighting up the great outdoors! I was given the theme of season shining and I tried my best to make our greenhouse and garden area

DIY Kwanzaa Kinara 

As we countdown to Kwanzaa, The Home Depot and Amber Kemp-Gerstel of Damask Love are excited to share an easy-to-make kinara that can be customized to you and your family’s Kwanzaa traditions!  No worries! Check out Amber’s blog below for some other great family craft ideas, tips and tricks!

Kwanzaa is an African American holiday celebrating African American history, heritage and culture. The week-long celebration is observed from December 26th to January 1 and culminates with gift giving and a big dinner. Each night of Kwanzaa, families light the kinara – a seven candle holder. Each night of Kwanzaa is centered around one of the seven principles: Umoja (Unity) , Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), Imani (Faith).

In the spirit of Kuumba, I’m excited to share an easy-to-make kinara that you can customize for your own family’s Kwanzaa celebration.

2) Spend Enough Bed Time

Most adults need about 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. Some people need more while some need less. Many people with bad sleep habits spend more than eight hours and are bad and this creates a fragmented sleep . Unless you are an individual in need of long sleep, it is best to stay in bed no more than 8 1/2 hours. If it takes two hours to sleep, it is better to sleep later. Also, it is important to understand … Read more

Destination Design: Amalfi Coast + Capri

One of the things I missed about travel was all the design inspiration I gathered when I went to a really special place. I am starting a new monthly series of design inspiration integration destinations. I love when the hotels and accommodation of a destination reflect the culture and history of the place and resist the temptation to dive into the sea of ​​equality .

I have visited Italy several times in my twenties but haven long since never returned. I love architecture, history, food, and scenery and I dream of a road trip around the Amalfi Coast. Those old hotels staggered over rocky cliffs with stunning views of the blue sea, fresh seafood and local wines, boats and beaches and botanical beaches. * sigh *

So I didn & # 39; t start the series by bringing holiday vibe from the west coast of Italy with you with these … Read more
