I have to admit that I don’t mind the never ending Christmas music and the festive season in general. I even enjoy the Christmas shopping. What I don’t like is the post-Christmas mop up. Taking the decorations down, trying to figure out what to do with the poinsettias (the only plant that I can keep alive - because it’s the only one I want to die after Christmas) and the realization that it’s going to be cold out for another two months. But in the meantime I will bask in all the things that accompany the holiday season. I even bought an ugly Christmas sweater - I’ll post it to stories on Thursday. Pretty sure it’s flammable.
This is where I’ll be all winter break. We took this 1970’s chalet and turned it into a more modern version. We changed everything but the countertops- which had been changed two years earlier. It’s funny how we live in big houses in the city but we function very well in our small space. And it’s much easier to clean! I love that my family can reconnect after a busy year. Family movies, hot tubs, skating and skiing (😬). This is what it’s all about!
Setting the table is definitely a labour of love. I think it shows your guests that they are special to you and that you took the time to prepare. You can get great tableware all over - you can spend a lot or a little. If you have already exceeded your holiday budget consider renting your dishes from party suppliers. They can rent glassware as well. Check out our YouTube page to watch the latest issue of Start To Style - the Luxury Dinner. The link is in my bio.
This is the unicorn post - I’m not a big skier. I try to get out once or twice a season - I think the look in my face says it all “Am I sure I want to do this?”. It’s not so much the skiing part I don’t like - I can ski reasonably well. It’s the cold. I cannot seem to be able to keep warm on the way up the ski lift. My dream is that @skibigwhite will put in ski lift visors to shield the wind. Lol. If that ever happens I’ll have no excuse.
Shelving in a room can really give you a lot of design options. While I was building my home we went to Cabo, Mexico for a vacation. We stayed at the @esperanzaresort - it was amazing! Such a well designed resort. We had dinner at @toro_restaurante . They had floating shelves surrounding their cooking area - all backlit with clay pots all along them. This my floating shelves in my dining area were born. They are suspended by aircraft cable and backlit by strip lighting embedded in the shelf. They do not touch the walls at all - the wires for the lighting are the only piece that has contact with the wall. I love this feature in my dining room. I’m so glad we did it! Thank you @carolyn.walsh.ckdinc for supporting my vision!
Our Luxury Dinner Party shoot for @livingluxmag . Also drinking my signature drink - Chardonnay. I plan to do this quite a bit over the holiday season. I used to do these crazy over the top dinners before I had kids. Then my goals changed to simply feeding people - lol. Now I’m back to doing dinner parties. It’s a great creative outlet for me. And there’s nothing nicer than having people over. The part I hate? Definitely the clean up. If there was ever a need for robots this would be it. I guess that might be something I could bribe my kids to do. Hmmm... Watch our video on YouTube for some inspiration. The link is in my bio.
Why is my Christmas list bigger every year? The truth is I’m so fortunate to have so many amazing people in my life. And I’m a giver. Also a shopper. Scary combination. Thank you Visa. I love you.
This time of year I reflect on the people that make it all worthwhile - I’d post a picture of my kids too but they won’t let me!!! My husband Kevin has been beside me on this journey - I couldn’t imagine doing it without him. Take time to be thankful of the people in your life. This is a season of love and giving.
Just in time for the holiday rush! We have lots of great decor items for sale in our studio! Come in and get a great gift for someone on your list!
Joy - it’s the season - where we focus on other people and giving. In a country where we are so blessed we need to spread the joy!
My two Royal Christmas Squirrels. Don’t they look regal?
Nothing says Christmas to me like @skibigwhite . My family spends the holidays tucked away at the ski hill - oh - and I don’t like skiing. What I like about being up there is the time I have to relax and connect with friends and family. And I love cooking up there. Hope you all have a great Saturday!
This year I decided to do no garland on my tree - I had a great wreath with faux amaryllis flowers that I dissected to use as fillers. Now I’m in a festive mood. Or at least I’m craving egg nog!
The luxury holiday dinner - thanks @labussola1974 and @wildvalentinedesign !
Which list did you make?
Time to pull out your Christmas decorations! I like simple themes - not too much clutter - these red jugs light up with twinkle lights inside. What are some of your favourite things to decorate with?
The Elevated Holiday Table @luv ingluxmag . The magazine will be out next week! Thank you @labussola1974 for the fabulous dinner you prepared for this shoot and also thank you to @wildvalentinedesign for the beautiful florals you provided.
Great morning with CTV as always! Three different looks for the Holiday Table.
Check out my article on the elevated holiday table - https://issuu.com/nsnfeatures/docs/12_living_dec_2018 . @livingluxmag . Special thank you to @labussola1974 and @wildvalentinedesign @trevorcooperphotography
