The Holiday Style Files
A Designer's Holiday Cheat Sheet
This guide isn't about perfection.
It's about creating moments that make you pause, smile, and think, "Yes, this feels exactly right." It's about knowing which details actually matter (and which ones absolutely don't). It's about making your space feel both magical and completely, authentically yours.
What you'll find here isn't just another list of "must-haves" or trends. Instead, I'm sharing the real tricks I've learned over years of designing.
Insider knowledge that makes spaces feel thoughtfully curated rather than frantically decorated. The shortcuts that look anything but shortcuts. The investments worth making and the places where Target absolutely does the job.
So grab your coffee or wine (no judgment here), get comfortable, and let's create some holiday magic together. And please, please share your own discoveries with me along the way. Because the best design ideas often come from unexpected places and shared experiences.
