    Feeling Nostalgic

    This season, I think everyone is craving a return to normalcy. I have been seeing an upswing in traditional and nostalgic decor. Think red and green, lots of ribbons and breaking out hand-me-down or antiqued pieces to incorporate here and there. Everyone wants to reminisce on the good times and decorate their homes in a way that feels warm and comfortable for them. I am excited to mix decades of trends to create fresh seasonal looks this year.
