December Favorites + What's New Around The House

Happy Friday friends! Well, it's crunch time for getting those last minute gifts bought and tying up lose end from 2017 and boy I'm having a hard time staying motivated! I really just want to veg out, play board games and watch Christmas movies by the fire! Who's with me???

At least it's Friday and I've been collecting some favorite things over the month to share with you...so here goes...

December Favorites + What's New Around The House

1. I always get the urge to purge and declutter this time of year and I love Rachel Craven's home and her thoughts on simplicity.

3. This gorgeous holiday home tour from the always fabulous Living with Landyn

4. I've decided to take a risk and surprise my little man with a guitar and music lessons for Christmas this year! He loves art and music but hasn't shown a ton of interest in learning yet so hopefully this will be the jumpstart he needs!

5. How cool is this new D.C. restaurant that opened in an old bank. Stunning! And how can you not love a place with a cool name like Succotash!

6. I'm loving these state scented candles!

7. This is my current favorite bedding from Target.

8. I'm a huge fan of Gray Malin and I love to see his spaces, especially this newest office!
