Yesterday, I posted some gorgeous photos of Stephen Shubel’s home in the Loire Valley. This morning, I lit some candles and cleared away the usual clutter to take some quick snap shots of my own home. You can see Stephen’s influence — the tangerines, votives and cuttings — all such simple and great ideas for the holidays!
For the past four years I’ve relinquished the tree decorating to my girls. In the first several years all the ornaments were located around the bottom of the tree, but I can see this year (with the help of a step stool) they’re starting to spread out a bit more.
Of course, stacks of chocolate chip and ginger snap cookies are always nice to have around
The Long Table 
Simple, beautiful, cozy and so inviting!! I’m inspired!!
