Monochromatic nesting...

 Changing over to winter...
more monochromatic.

Putting the seasonal colors away while the snow falls...

Relying on TEXTURES instead of more color...

I find it calming...
clean...
peaceful...


Simplifying for the Holidays....
starting with a cleaner looking base to highlight the Holiday Decorations soon to appear.
This always seems to happen about this time every year...goes along with that "Nesting" instinct...that "settling in for the winter" feeling.
How goes your "Nesting"?
xo, Kathy and the Chef...

ps. the Chef is "sweating" onions and wiping tomatoe paste off his recipe....we all have our "Nesting" techniques....xo.

  1. Although I don't decorate with whites in my home, I will be changing out the fall leaves and pumpkins after Halloween for berries and simpler decor before the Christmas stuff comes out. Such a fun time of year but hard to be imaginative with what I have sometimes. Blessings, Pamela

  7. Pretty throw pillows are a wonderful way to tweak your decor! I am definitely taking away some of the pastels from my home in Florida for the winter! I love winter whites! Hugs!
