Stills of the home I love so much decorated for Christmas. So grateful. For the tiny percentage of you who want longer form content, and for the people who don’t follow me on here, I shared a blog post this week with all my Christmas decor images, including some you probably haven’t seen yet and sources. Up on the blog now. Merry Christmas, world ❤️🎄

I feel a little ridiculous hanging garland on my headboard but… Sparks joy. Something that never really occurred to me until recently, but I think we millennials and influencers just keep coming up with more and more options! Holiday cheer everywhere! Would you try this?

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday #LTKHome

Still just in love with our wrapping this year! I did one paper per kid, one for the grown-ups, one for my parents… Love these fun vintage/classic patterns from rifle! I love the Nutcracker theme! All 30% off right now!

#LTKHoliday #LTKmomlife #LTKSeasonal

Basically, constantly wearing one of these amazing sweaters. So many great colors!

Plus these high waisted barrel cords are so fun!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder50

Enjoying the warm glow of the tree so much it makes even the dark rainy days bearable. That’s kind of the idea of Christmas decor, isn’t it?! Just savoring these days. Not looking forward to taking it down in… a little over two weeks, wow!

Rifle paper co wrapping and ornaments are 30% off!

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Basically only interested in cozy sweaters at this point. This one is yak wool! So soft and warm, breathable, feels so nice! And love the price.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder100

For literally years I kept the vacuum in front of this window, which meant I had to work the curtains around it every night when I close them, and move it for photos, and sometimes we tripped on it! In preparation for Christmas I did some toy storage shuffling, and since Lucy didn’t play with the actual play kitchen part anymore, just the food, I made room in the sideboard dresser (fabulous kid/craft storage) and tucked the vacuum in the corner. Don’t know why it took me that long to figure that out. What’s your duh home solution it took you too long to figure out? 🤪
P.S. Now this vacuum comes in white, which would blend even better… I linked the current version of it, I’ve found it to be better and more affordable than Shark or Roomba!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife #LTKHome

I got this adorable guestbook last year with the intention of using it to write our own holiday memories. Unfortunately I didn’t get to it and it sat somewhere in the dining room until about June, but it’s back out and I’m excited to have the kids help me write about the ice-skating, gingerbread house making, crafts with friends, looking at Christmas lights, and other fun things we do in December! Plus, it is such a cute embroidered pattern and such great quality.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

I put together this basement guestroom for holiday guests with a free headboard from Facebook and primarily things I already had. It’s not perfect, it’s a little funky, and I’m not sure if that is the right place for those lamps… But it’s cozy and welcoming!

#LTKHoliday #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

I was dreading this task and finally did it 🤪 Reusing a lot of what I had but I did recently upgrade our stockings to classic needlepoint ones, and get some gold stocking holders. I love doing something a liiittle different every year on the mantel! Do you have greenery on yours or something else?

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

Growing up we always had real trees and my ex husband always insisted on one. They have their pros but I was definitely frustrated with the pine needles everywhere, the constant watering, picking them out in the cold/rain, spending the money every year… but I felt guilty getting a fake one for the downsides they have, and the perception!! But 3 years ago was my first Christmas as a single mom, no husband to judge me or help me, and I went for it. And it was so much easier. Now I put my tree up in the beginning of November and enjoy the glow for almost 2 whole (dark, dreary) months! I love that it’s made the season longer and more joyful for me. But honestly, to each their own!!

Linking this tree, fave ornaments, and nutcracker tree skirt!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

Our classic stockings are 15% off for another day! I wanted needlepoint forever and these are cotton and affordable!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

Those magical quiet moments at home during the holidays… doesn’t matter if you’re decked out with Ralph Lauren Christmas or Nancy Meyers Christmas vibes, in fact I think I pref my combination of things I’ve acquired over the years plus playful fun prints for the kids (and my kid at heart at the holidays). Grateful!

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Everyone’s favorite part of my classic Christmas decor tour reel was the plaid throws! I rounded up some good ones. The best are the washable wool but absent that, go for slightly thicker with a finer gauge if you can. Festive and cozy! And most are on sale this weekend!

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKCyberWeek

Realized I’ve been going for a classic Christmas the past few years and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Red ribbon, wreaths, plaid, nutcrackers, gingerbread houses… I’ve loved them for years and they’re sticking around. This year I added a few vintage thrifted things like the mini village toy shop, went a little crazier than usual with the ribbon, and am still trying to figure out where to hang the advent calendar. Linking some favorite pieces on sale this weekend!

#LTKHoliday #LTKCyberWeek #LTKHome

I loved this advent calendar so much when I saw it last year, but it sold out before I could get one! It’s back and so cute. I love nutcrackers so basically this whole rifle collection is my fave! 30% off this weekend!

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

Getting festive! Burnout velvet, washable silk skirt, warm and elegant suede boots… great winter dinner or party look!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKHoliday

I bet you already knew all of these, but maybe you didn’t realize that put together they make a lovely, timeless, welcoming Christmas home! These are seriously no fail! I love the wreaths I started adding a couple years ago, and the red! Goes with everything. And plaid. Ahh classic Christmas is just the best.

#LTKHoliday #LTKSaleAlert #LTKCyberWeek

Stumbled upon this COTTON sweater and I’m in love! On-trend dark brown, but it’s mostly cotton so it’s not too hot like the super fuzzy ones. It’s an oversized fit so you don’t need to size up. So affordable too!

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKSaleAlert

Can’t believe the price on these sneaks for black Friday! Been loving these this fall as a fun way to be comfortable. I sized almost a full size down. So many great colors!

Sweatshirt is super comfy and on sale, these are my favorite jeans that I think I need to order another pair of because I wear them nonstop. I cut these off, but they are full length. Also on great sale!

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKCyberWeek #LTKFindsUnder50

These stocking hangers are the safest option if you have kids and pets around! I’ve had black ones for years but I just replaced them with these gold ones for a more classic look. Plus, I’m so excited about our new needlepoint stockings, they are so affordable and also just classic!

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKHoliday #LTKHome

I was sure there had to be some scientific reason, so I looked it up. It’s called “context-dependent memory” or cue-based positive recall; when you pull out the mugs each year or choose one instead of a regular mug, it pulls up cozy, joyful, connected moments which releases dopamine. It’s the same reason traditions like music make us feel calm and festive, but it’s cool when a physical element of my home can have that impact too. Another reason our homes matter!

#LTKmorningroutine #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

This tee is the best for layering under sweaters, or just with shorts for summer, I have it in 6 colors! It’s on Black Friday sale for $6 and an extra 15% off today. Plus these are the greatest jeans, so comfy I wore them to work from home today and ordered them in yet another wash. Super flattering, extra high waist, wide leg!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKCyberWeek

My (stash tea connoisseur) former mother-in-law introduced me to this tea and I’m glad I finally found it again!

So lovely! Cocoa shells, peppermint, lavender.

With my rifle paper co Christmas mug of course!

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal #LTKHome

Sharing my new cute candle tree lights (currently on a great black Friday sale) and some of our favorite tournaments from rifle paper Co.! I love a classic, fun tree!

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

I like to bring in a few new things every year, but my base holiday decor is usually pretty much the same. Linking some favorites for a fun, timeless Christmas!

Whether you’re looking for a Ralph Lauren Christmas or a Nancy Meyers Christmas or a nostalgic Christmas, we all want our homes to feel beautiful, cozy, and fun for our families this time of year. My tips:

1. Start with what you have
2. Keep the base layer tidy
3. Add a few new cohesive elements
4. Let the kids decorate something
5. Keep the ornaments the kids want on the main tree
6. Bring in seasonal luxuries… and enjoy 🤍

#LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

I love this tip for increasing productivity and reducing stress! Especially around the holidays when you’re adding all this holiday stuff to you’re already full regular schedule. I use my calendar instead of a to do list for tasks that take more than a few minutes, so I don’t stress about them until it’s time to do them, and then I can get them done at a time that I thought through! Have you tried this?
Wearing this fabulous Sezane sweater I yearned for the past two Christmas seasons! And using my favorite rifle paper co mug.

#LTKHoliday #LTKselfcare #LTKmomlife

I’ve been helping my friend update her kids’ bathroom and it’s done! Her style is light and fresh and a little playful, but it’s a traditional home. One of the most important changes we made was replacing the plastic slatted blind with a custom Roman shade from @twopagescurtains! I love this type of update to make a home feel more unique. My code SUZANNAHSTANLEY now gets you 27% off for Black Friday!

One of those happy moments of gratitude I get every day… my lit tree and a couple lamps on greeting me in the dark morning when I come downstairs. Thanks to outlet timers! I’m linking a couple, the simple two prong ones I use and a more high-tech three prong version that connects to a phone app. Kind of life-changing!

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday

I was a real tree purist for years but I tell ya… this has a lot of appeal. I’ve loved giving myself permission to use fake. So many conveniences 😅 And maybe someday I’ll do one faux, one real when someone else wants to help cut it down… 😉

#LTKHoliday

After debating and trying to find the absolute perfect fabric and length for a fringed skirt for this table, I finally decided to just get something that I knew would work! I found this affordable tablecloth and fringe on Amazon and put them together in 14 minutes. So much better! Love this kind of project!

#LTKHome

Starting to bring out the decor in here too. I absolutely love my holiday mugs! I love rifle for the holidays, timeless vibes!

#LTKHoliday

I have seriously agonized over my couch decisions multiple times this year. I really wanted to keep it more relaxed than two matching sofas, which sounds traditional and like it could be stuffy. But guess what… It’s totally not. This performance velvet sofa is just so comfy, fun, and perfect we decided we needed another one. It’s the Caitlin from Interior Define and I shared all the details about my order on a recent blog post, also linking it here!
