A little Christmas around my cozy colonial 🎄✨

Stills of the home office 📸

The home office has quickly become one of the most personal spaces in my house. A place designed to feel calm, inspiring, and deeply supportive of the creative work that happens here.

The starting point was this vintage tapestry wallpaper mural in beige from @belartestudio. I loved how it felt like a natural extension of the view outside my windows and instantly calming. The palette set the tone for the entire room and allowed everything else to feel intentional rather than loud.

You can see more of the home office in today’s blog post on AllisonSkiff.com Hope you love it just as much as I do 🤍

Vintage & cheerful 🎄✨

I genuinely love them both — which one are you?

Decorating your bedroom for Christmas is for adults too 🎄☕️

I love waking up to wreaths on the windows, garland on the dresser, and a warm cup of coffee in my favorite holiday china. It feels extra magical to start the day like this, especially with a Christmas movie playing.

Do you decorate your bedroom for Christmas?

Every time I renovate a room I can’t help but fantasize about how it will look with Christmas decorations and honestly that fantasy propelled me through parts of the primary bathroom renovation this spring / summer.

Some simple garland, a little tree, velvet burgundy bows and some plaid towels…and I couldn’t love it more!

I used cypress garland above the windows and drilled little cup hooks into the trim to secure them. Added a sprig of cedar on each end and I think it looks perfect!
Do you decorate your bathroom for the holidays?

Is there anything better than copper?

I ordered these copper lanterns over six months ago, so you can imagine how excited I am to finally have them installed! They're the perfect compliment to my new moody exterior.

The biggest thing for me is scale...as a rule of thumb, exterior light fixtures flanking the door should be 1/3 the height of the total door height. You can see how these new lanterns make so much more sense for the scale of my home vs the smaller original ones.

The next update to the exterior will be landscaping! Stay tuned for more to come.

I’ll be honest: the first time I saw the outside of my house, my mind went straight to Home Alone.

I grew up watching it every single year, and it still sits in my top two favorite Christmas movies (second only to Christmas Vacation). The details get me every time — the intentional red and green everywhere, the carpet, the wallpaper, the hundreds of poinsettias. It’s festive in the most nostalgic, cozy way.

And yes… at least once a year, pizza is mandatory while I watch it. Some traditions just make the season feel right 🍕

What’s your go-to holiday movie? And do you have any themed movie nights you never skip?

Christmas corners ✨

Some (mostly) close up snaps of Christmas moments that make me happy. I feel like I haven’t captured even half of my decor this year, but I hope to share a bit more Christmas content over the next week.

Next year I’m starting earlier!

#christmasdecor #holiday #decorations #christmastree #garland

Touches of Christmas and an excuse to restyle my bookshelf in the living room! Love how this is shaping up!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKHoliday

Garland and a thick velvet burgundy ribbon is all you need. I kept the staircase simple this year, layering Norfolk pine garland and adding a couple extra pieces at the base. What I used: 2 x deluxe Norfolk pine along the entire banister. 2 extra pieces at newel post. Burgundy ribbon twisted into bows and bells at the base. #christmasdecor #garland #holiday

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKHoliday

This year I decorated the bathroom with some simple garland around done door frame using these cup hooks. I drilled them into the top of the door frame and they screw in, so I’ll unscrew them and rescrew each year and you won’t see the holes! The garland just tucks on top and I added some stems to the end to keep things looking seamless.

Christmas in the living room. I love adding vintage ornaments to different bowls around the house. Such an easy and fun way to add a pop of visual cheer!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKHoliday

Isn’t this incredible? This was a rust bucket when I pulled it out of the box! It’s part leather and part brass 🤩

I changed out the vent covers in my home office on the ceiling and it’s made all the difference! Highly recommend! #diy #homeimprovement

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

If we’re being honest… this is my Super Bowl 🎄

Two years of collecting all for this moment.

PS: so many of you asked about how I store my vintage ornaments. I use storage bags with flat trays and dividers that keep everything visible and protected.

The home office reveal ✨

What was once a white box is now one of the most inspiring rooms in the house. From the detailed trim work to the wallpaper mural wrapped in the warmest, saturated cream, this space feels like it’s quietly saying, please come in and stay awhile.

I’m so excited to finally have a room that supports the work that matters most to me—both my design work and my content creation. A space that feels layered, grounded, and creative in all the right ways.

A heartfelt thank you to the partners who helped bring this vision to life:

Woodwork:
Paint:
Wallpaper:
Caulk:
Paint supplies:

And a special thank you to @oneroomchallenge and @apartmenttherapy for continuing to create a space where creativity, risk-taking, and community collide. You always push me in the very best way.

More still shots and a full blog post coming soon. In the meantime you can shop everything I used for this space here (wallpaper is not lockable but I’ve added similar options)

If you followed along during ORC, thank you for being part of this journey. Tell me your favorite detail below—I’d love to know what caught your eye!

A look at this years holiday staircase design and staircases past. I love how traditional this years feels, but I also still love last years! Here’s the difference:
2025 garland: 2 x deluxe Norfolk pine garlands with 4 total at the base. 2 inch velvet burgundy ribbon.
2024 garland: base of cypress garland with prelit hemlock garland on top. Skinny burgundy velvet ribbon.
2023 garland: Norfolk pine garland but not layered (IMO not enough!) with skinny velvet burgundy ribbon.

If there’s one room in my home that was made for Christmas, it’s this one. This year’s vision for the Cozy Room: classic, traditional, and just a touch of Ralph Lauren Christmas magic.

Tell me: what’s the first movie you’re watching fireside?

Finally splurged on these gingerbread houses since I found them on sale! They’re even better in person and I love the kitschy nostalgia they bring to the kitchen.

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome #LTKHoliday

If we’re being honest this feels like my Super Bowl.

Rounding up my favorite painting tools from Handy Paint Pail. They’ve made painting, clean up and the process in general so much more enjoyable. If you do nothing else, invest in the paint cup with the lid. It’s the best! #diy #diytools #painting #paint

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKvlog #LTKHome

Your kitchen deserves some Christmas decor and holiday styling too! I love a more kitschy Christmas in the kitchen so adding these gingerbread houses with a vintage Christmas tree felt perfect. Some simple winter artwork in the background and a dish of peppermints made for the finishing touches! 🎄🍬

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHome #LTKHoliday

Traditional inspired Christmas in my cozy tv room. A dark color palette, red bows, nutcrackers, tartan, candles, crystal decor, and traditional garland and Christmas tree give this room a classic Christmas feel. #interiordesign #christmasdecor #ralphlauren #holiday #moody

The theme this year is more.

If you’re a vintage Christmas lover, this one’s for you. 🎄❤️

My flocked tree is dressed exclusively in vintage ornaments I’ve been collecting over the past two years… and honestly? I think I could still add more.

It took two full days to decorate, so you’d better believe I’ll be showing her off nonstop over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned for more vintage Christmas ✨🎄🎁

Everything was going too smoothly… until my paint sprayer turned on me. 🤦‍♀️ One wrong-way nozzle and suddenly I’m pressure-washing primer onto my dentil molding and wiping drips for hours. A humbling moment in an otherwise dreamy transformation.

The silver lining? I’m using the new flat eggshell finish @farrowandball for my topcoat and it’s going to be my saving grace. I used the same finish in my primary bathroom and loved how durable it was, but it’s also soft enough to help disguise those tiny primer mishaps I definitely didn’t catch. A win for both beauty and forgiveness.

For the trim work and walls I went with Joa’s White - the perfect saturated warm cream that’s already making me swoon. For the ceiling I went a couple shades lighter with the color Dimity and it’s proving to be the perfect compliment.

Every DIYer has their fair share of mistakes, even if they’re embarrassing to share publicly. What’s your take on this? Do you want to see more of the real mistakes… or just the satisfying reveals?

This is the 7’ flocked Noble with warm LED lights. I wanted the 8’ but they were sold out so I just popped this on a suitcase and wrapped a furry blanket around it. I think it works! Seriously check the open box section!

A glimpse of Christmas in my cozy tv room. Every year I change my decorations just a little. This year I layered cedar garland as a base and the prelit hemlock garland on top. Some premade bright red bows flanking the corners gave it a little something extra and my white ceramic village on the bookshelves adds more glow. So happy with how the Christmas decor is shaping up this year 🎄

Sharing a look at some new home decor and mantel artwork in the living room. It’s been so fun to design and style this space with a bright color palette and I think this artwork is perfect!

#LTKHome #LTKvlog

Obsessed with this new artwork above the fireplace mantel! For now I’m keeping the design simple but I think some sconces could also work eventually. Tagging everything I can here including this one strand of garland that’s so lush it can stand on its own! #livingroomdeckr #styling #interiordesign #garland
