Festive Porches, Natural Christmas Decor & a Blue-Green Holiday Living Room (HSS #478)
Whew, what a week it’s been here in the South! We dipped down into our first freezing temps, so I hustled a few of my plants inside to over-winter them… and then Mother Nature turned around and gave us the loveliest mild fall days. It’s that time of year when we get all four seasons in about three days, bless it.
I’m still in full-on decorating mode over here, trying to pull together all of my Christmas touches so I can share the big reveal with you soon! And in between fluffing garlands, I’ve been working on my gift guides — and even wrapping a few presents as they arrive. I just love getting ahead so December can feel slow, meaningful, and family-filled.
How about you, friend? Do you deck the halls early, or do you wait until after Thanksgiving to pull it all out?
Come sit down and grab a cup of tea or coffee and get inspired with this week’s Home Style Saturday! Tour a festive Christmas front porch, learn to decorate with natural organics, find beautiful Thanksgiving centerpiece ideas, style cozy stair garland, and explore a serene blue-and-green Christmas living room.

Welcome to Home Style Saturday — a weekend dose of home inspiration!
Each Saturday, my sweet blog friends and I gather up some of our favorite decorating tips, seasonal ideas, easy recipes, DIY projects, and more — all from the heart and home. Think of it like flipping through a mini lifestyle magazine with your morning coffee.
We’re so glad to spend a bit of your weekend with you. There’s something here for every season and every kind of homebody. 💕 xo, Laura
