A Christmas House Tour

I love to peek inside the homes of other bloggers, especially when they are decked out for the holidays, these talented people may not be trained interior designers, however, they are just as creative. Blogger Susan from Saw Nail & Paint has the most delightful cottage style house beautifully decked out for the holiday season.

I don't really like to say this but Christmas is only 6 weeks away, every year I say "I will be more prepared for Christmas" but it's usually a last minute rush. This year however, I want to be more organised and have everything sorted at least 2 weeks prior.

A historic house in Illinois receives a total renovation and the new kitchen is my favourite. Circa 1891 the house has been beautifully and sympathetically restored.

Christmas Inspiration - Interiors, Recipes, Crafts & More

I love Christmas, not only for its sentiments but as an artist with a passion for interior design, I can let my creative side free. I usually decorate my interior, exterior, tables, food and mantel, and more often than not, fall short of time to have it finished by Christmas. This week I've been drawing on inspiration around the blogasphere and  have found some gorgeous interiors, lovely recipes and some fun ideas to inspire myself and my readers...
