    My Holiday Dining Room

    ByMary Crozier December 10, 2019December 10, 2019

    I am so excited to share the holiday changes to our dining room this year. Every year, literally, every year, I have done the same thing when it comes to holiday decorating. When your holiday decorating is repetitive, it’s difficult to imagine the space differently. I was a bit stumped on what to do but…

    The Table is Set!

    ByMary Crozier November 26, 2019November 26, 2019

    I didn’t intend for the Thanksgiving centerpiece to match the artwork in the dining room but it happily does! Every few months I’ve been hanging different art, trying to find just the right piece. It’s easy to decorate the same way year after year and there’s comfort in that. But how do I use what…

    Setting a Proper Table

    ByMary Crozier March 14, 2019September 3, 2020

I love setting a proper table, and…

Photos haven’t been edited, but hopefully you will enjoy them anyway! I almost ALWAYS do a white table cloth,…

    Our Family Room

    ByMary Crozier October 18, 2018October 19, 2018

    Our family room is one of the most utilized rooms in the house.  I love the actual room as it feels like a solarium.  It is my least favorite because I am not fond of how it has been decorated. Originally an outdoor porch, it was enclosed in the 1940s.  The room is really large…
