✨ A Final Christmas Farewell ✨

As the holiday season winds down, I couldn’t resist sharing one last festive treasure: my gorgeous vintage ball wreath! There’s something so magical about the timeless charm of these ornaments, each with its own history and sparkle, coming together to create something truly special. It’s a little reminder of why I love this season so much.

But now, it’s time to pack up the tinsel and turn our eyes toward the New Year ahead. Thank you all for following along with my holiday posts—it’s been a joy to share these moments with you.

Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with joy, love, and creativity! Here’s to 2025 being full of exciting new beginnings and cherished memories. 🎉

Until next Year, Amanda 😘

✨🎹 Hitting all the right notes this holiday season🎹✨
Imagine this: a charming snowman sitting at a grand piano, playing joyful holiday tunes, surrounded by the warm glow of a champagne-colored tree adorned with shades of orange ornaments. The playful snowman meets the sophisticated glam of a unique color palette—festive, fun, and fabulously different!

This magical vignette is the perfect reminder that Christmas décor doesn’t have to be traditional to be enchanting. It’s about creating moments that feel joyful, unexpected, and oh-so-memorable.

Feeling nostalgic as I set up this year’s Christmas table! My vintage fruit and new fruit topiary are taking center stage, surrounded by festive honeycomb trees and cloved oranges—a timeless favorite that always takes me back to childhood Christmases. There’s something so comforting about those warm, spiced scents filling the air.

I’ve added in plenty of fun evergreens to complete the look, creating a mix of classic and fresh elements. It’s a nod to tradition with just the right touch of whimsy.

For the first time in 10 years, I haven’t used my American-themed ornaments and garland. With a potential move on the horizon, I decided to keep things simpler this year, focusing on a classic red-and-green design instead—and I’m loving the fresh change!

Christmas at my house isn’t complete without a touch of nostalgia, and this little area in my kitchen is one of my favorites. My collection of vintage toy soldiers brings so much character and charm — each one is unique and tells its own story. I love how they add a whimsical touch to the holiday decor. Do you have a favorite vintage collection that makes your Christmas special?

My sister just hosted the most adorable Dolly Parton-themed Bunko Party for her Bunko group, who’ve been rolling dice together for 20 years! 🎲✨
I had the best time helping with the decorations during Thanksgiving break, especially working on the front door—it was such a fun way to bring the theme to life. What an unforgettable night for an unforgettable group!

The creativity was off the charts—everything tied into the Dolly theme in such a fun and fabulous way. These ladies know how to celebrate their decades of friendship with style, laughter, and a little rhinestone sparkle. What an unforgettable night for an unforgettable group!
I think Dolly would be proud!

For years, I had the privilege of decorating the White House for Christmas alongside the incredible Mr. Marvin-a true legend in the world of design. Known for creating the iconic bubblegum ornament and his stunning line of silk florals. Mr. Marvin’s talent has graced everything from Neiman Marcus to some of the most exquisite homes around the globe!

This year, having the opportunity to work with him again at Cheekwood has been just as magical. His talent, dedication, and the joy he brings to every moment make him truly one of a kind. What an amazing man and a true inspiration!
Enjoy this stunning mantle we created in the main parlor! It features a playful touch with his bubble gum ornaments, a gorgeous ribbon, and the inspirational color palette selected by our Design Leader Laura Dowling. The combination is both elegant and fun—perfect for the season! 🌟✨

Finally starting my own Christmas decorating today!!
My favorite wreath will be adorned first because I’ll get a million calls, emails and ultimately get pulled away and at least I’ll have it hung if nothing else.
Wish me luck!
And Merry Christmas!

What are your Christmas colors? Surprisingly most of my clients request orange! 🧡 I’ll always add golds and even coppers for depth.
*color blocking Christmas is huge this year. An all green tree or all red tree can definitely be stunning!
My Christmas is very traditional! 🎄
