<h2 style="text-align: left;">Linen Closet Ideas</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Purge and Edit</h3>
The first step in any organizing project is to take stock of what you have
and reduce it down to what you actually need. Linen closets hold a variety
of items so its easy to lose sight of what is actually still useful and in
good shape.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPkTHz2OVFoBFRpIJRcqkrUk6ptHIdkwQrjI2igv5GpDwZBoFdJdtwLVcl7wuMgWd-ZLj4vkHfU_rsnnKwtDQq_iZtOMV_dxiLjGdfIbAK7KO-Ayo686SFusaE40GbNm1hgAxnzXubmawnUqZPysFvbXu4lr2kyOjxeEhSMLHBdUzvuXdHl5d6w-oYPW8/s1293/hallway-linen-closet-organization-10%20text.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="hallway linen closet organizing ideas" border="0" data-original-height="1293" data-original-width="900" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPkTHz2OVFoBFRpIJRcqkrUk6ptHIdkwQrjI2igv5GpDwZBoFdJdtwLVcl7wuMgWd-ZLj4vkHfU_rsnnKwtDQq_iZtOMV_dxiLjGdfIbAK7KO-Ayo686SFusaE40GbNm1hgAxnzXubmawnUqZPysFvbXu4lr2kyOjxeEhSMLHBdUzvuXdHl5d6w-oYPW8/s16000/hallway-linen-closet-organization-10%20text.jpg" title="hallway linen closet organizing, small hall closet organization, linen storage ideas" width="700" /></a>
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Over time, my closet had become a dumping ground for mismatched bath towels,
flat and fitted sheet sets in different sizes for bed sizes we no longer
had, and pillow cases that had seen better days. I emptied the entire closet
and organized the items into three groups: keep, donate, and toss. It
quickly became apparent that, no, I did not need so much stuff!
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
It's a great idea to actually assess how you use your linens. If you tend to
remove your bedding, wash it immediately, and replace it back on the bed,
then there's no need to have so many extra sets. Think of what you need for
the whole family and purge the rest.
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Assess Your Space</h3>
Once you know what you need to store in your hallway closet, the next step
is to evaluate your linen storage space. Open up your linen closet and take
a good look inside. Are there wire shelves that can be optimized or
repositioned? Is there unused vertical space? Do you have easy access to
lower shelves?
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Assessing your storage needs will help you determine the best way to
organize your closet. Consider installing built-in shelving or adjustable
wire shelves to make the most of your closet space.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg92hWuHHpkM1vv28pyPTlqmVgeEFT0t5NBp6abmBI0VBUSCiTanCyhIvzgbhpHhCluUvANOyVrsXKqZN_XuNs2GwCgxY_e2i3S3PZWF7ay30rvHY3JjW2hxrejT5GFtx-SUkOqrvLQWqwT99hyFk2yVtGjeH6DmG1X8R5dnv8gCd_XQc2Qcdcx-t3DLA4/s1260/hallway-linen-closet-organization-05.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="hallway linen closet organizing ideas" border="0" data-original-height="1260" data-original-width="900" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg92hWuHHpkM1vv28pyPTlqmVgeEFT0t5NBp6abmBI0VBUSCiTanCyhIvzgbhpHhCluUvANOyVrsXKqZN_XuNs2GwCgxY_e2i3S3PZWF7ay30rvHY3JjW2hxrejT5GFtx-SUkOqrvLQWqwT99hyFk2yVtGjeH6DmG1X8R5dnv8gCd_XQc2Qcdcx-t3DLA4/s16000/hallway-linen-closet-organization-05.jpg" title="hallway linen closet organizing, small hall closet organization, blanket storage idea" width="700" /></a>
</div>
<br />Also consider a mix of storage furniture. You can use shelves,
cubbies, and rods to truly customize your space. The rod in our hallway
linen closet proved to be the perfect place to store extra blankets and
throws, plus it visually creates a pretty scene when opening the closet
doors.<br /><br />
</div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Utilize Vertical and Deep Shelves</h3>
In a hallway linen closet, maximizing vertical space is key. For deeper
shelves, consider using wire baskets or storage containers to corral smaller
items like hand towels and toiletries. This not only keeps things organized
but also makes it easy to access items stored at the back of the closet.
Plan out what goes where and how to use every inch. For instance, extra
towels that are used daily might be kept in front at eye level while less
used bedding for the guest room can be tucked on the bottom shelf.

</div>
<br />In our closet, I rolled up bulky seasonal quilts with Velcro One Wrap
and stored them behind the fabric storage boxes. The top shelf holds larger
items like oversized inserts and extra pillows. This keeps them out of the
way and the deep shelf prevents them from falling over. <br /><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Invest in Storage Solutions</h3>
Storage baskets and containers are your best friends when it comes to
organizing a small linen closet. You'll want to use containers that are
neither too big nor too small.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPBcHEqrvi1qUg_7MFLwAGURgx1NCdm3HNx6qXbe-20rexJ9bNv3bLyTeRkBj_p01bQpkkJDB1qOMbnBoWN8YaodeD8Yqgyw-qyF5YOEIsK7lLdzr4yfA9nxY3rZmnnibPpVX3JvzcuiMe71EGZ6odT8X9cgCiXfJ3EnEPxC_JFI9zxVHtYfKnPhRT7yE/s900/hallway-linen-closet-organization-11.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="hallway linen closet organizing ideas" border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="900" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPBcHEqrvi1qUg_7MFLwAGURgx1NCdm3HNx6qXbe-20rexJ9bNv3bLyTeRkBj_p01bQpkkJDB1qOMbnBoWN8YaodeD8Yqgyw-qyF5YOEIsK7lLdzr4yfA9nxY3rZmnnibPpVX3JvzcuiMe71EGZ6odT8X9cgCiXfJ3EnEPxC_JFI9zxVHtYfKnPhRT7yE/s16000/hallway-linen-closet-organization-11.jpg" title="hallway linen closet organizing, small hall closet organization, linen closet organizing baskets" width="700" /></a>
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
For our bed linens, I used fabric containers to sort the bedding by size.
Flat sheets, fitted sheets, and the matching pillowcase are kept together
for easy bed making. You can also invest in shelf dividers to separate piles
of towels or sheet sets neatly. For small items, like toilet paper or extra
toiletries, use clear baskets, glass jars, or lazy susans to keep things
visible and accessible.
</div>
<div>
<br />Clear plastic bins are used to store seasonal items like flannel
bedding or beach towels. They take a lot of space so they sit on the floor
so there's no heavy lifting. Be sure to label each container for easy
identification or use clear containers that allow you to see the contents.
This not only keeps your closet tidy but also makes it simple for family
members to find what they need and help with putting away the laundry.

</div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Optimize Door Space</h3>
Our linen closet has bifold doors, but if you have a passage closet door,
don't forget about using the valuable extra space behind it! Install a door
rack or hanging door organizers to store frequently used household items
like cleaning supplies or extra toiletries. This not only frees up shelf
space but also ensures that these items are easily accessible when you need
them.<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Keep it Clean and Cohesive</h3>
Here's one thing I've learned about organizing a home: the prettier it
looks, the more likely you are to keep it looking neat.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
To maintain a clean look in your linen closet, consider using shelf liner to
protect surfaces and keep items from slipping. Use matching bins or baskets
to group similar items together, such as sets of sheets or pillowcases. This
creates a cohesive look and makes it easy to find what you're looking for.
It is also pleasing to the eye and will make your linen closet instantly
more chic! As a final touch, use a label maker to create labels for each
container.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfTPnlBPXAMYa_yVnSV_O6EKW6tDPqD9Do910Ca3mzd2MwxtSpc5GlspDoA1NfB5YJvyAP1bf97qCraiZf5X7EhXuhwW1-e2kOO7nD7Wnf17o-U8sCT6uhrhduJoRUK1mVLqIjzj_d9nkHwzEA57hBb2eYImG6jRkudeDpo7hzDgUJbVR048uDTu0lCzE/s1260/hallway-linen-closet-organization-04.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="hallway linen closet organizing ideas" border="0" data-original-height="1260" data-original-width="900" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfTPnlBPXAMYa_yVnSV_O6EKW6tDPqD9Do910Ca3mzd2MwxtSpc5GlspDoA1NfB5YJvyAP1bf97qCraiZf5X7EhXuhwW1-e2kOO7nD7Wnf17o-U8sCT6uhrhduJoRUK1mVLqIjzj_d9nkHwzEA57hBb2eYImG6jRkudeDpo7hzDgUJbVR048uDTu0lCzE/s16000/hallway-linen-closet-organization-04.jpg" title="hallway linen closet organizing, small hall closet organization, velcro one wrap organizing, pillow storage idea" width="700" /></a>
</div>
<br />One of my best storage tips is to create zones in your storage space.
For instance, having a designated shelf for pillows, the next shelf for
toiletries, and a shelf for towels keeps your whole closet functioning
great. Members of your household won't have to guess where to put things on
the linen closet shelves.
</div>
<div>
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Rotate and Refresh</h3>
As the seasons change, so do our storage needs. Take the time to rotate
seasonal items in and out of your linen closet to keep it organized and
functional year-round. This also provides an opportunity to declutter and
donate items you no longer need.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
The great thing is that once you have the right home organization ideas and
storage solutions in place, your hallway linen closet should stay organized
with little effort. The next time you're looking for the summer quilt,
you'll know exactly where to find it!

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Part I</h3>
<div>What's your endgame? </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>What are you working towards?</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>What do you want your legacy to be?</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Heavy questions, I know. But really, this is what I've been pondering.
Especially today... it's the start of the new year... and it's my birthday! :)
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
For those of us in the second half of our lives, these kinds of questions
become more frequent. Louder. More troublesome.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Four years ago to the day I wrote
<a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2020/01/how-to-deal-with-midlife-crisis.html" target="_blank">this post</a> about experiencing a midlife crisis. My feelings have only become
more pronounced with what has happened to the world since then. Call it the
"great reset", when Covid, global conflicts, inflation etc etc have caused
us all to reconsider and reprioritize what we want out of life.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
For me, that has shifted so much over the years. I started my career with a
degree in Finance and an MBA in Strategic Management. As a financial analyst
and then a project manager, I loved digging deep into numbers, creating
processes, and bringing large, complex projects to fruition.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Then I started this blog in 2007 and built an online career around it. I've
created multiple income streams, made tens of thousands in affiliate
commissions, and continue to work with amazing brands on five-figure
collaborations.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
I've also been a conference organizer, a podcaster, an influencer, a social
media consultant. I've run courses and masterminds, appeared in magazines
and on air.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>And somewhere along the way, I lost sight of my endgame. </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBrpDanps1Wfa45DTivRTGbTvuOv_sQmywjUct46uytJmtm4oq0OcSJLs5U6-dWsyTRENFjZt20NWoEfrokxV1elZMSmEyZ_0hsI5eS3V8Tc3tku0IIoK_MUzndgi05gE9IwsJvOw7k9D7gvab6U5maacYw5nhNiXu5Z5aUdvbfXoF-I5BBOt-kuCRO0I/s3131/jen-coaching-1.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="business coach for women over 40" border="0" data-original-height="3131" data-original-width="2236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBrpDanps1Wfa45DTivRTGbTvuOv_sQmywjUct46uytJmtm4oq0OcSJLs5U6-dWsyTRENFjZt20NWoEfrokxV1elZMSmEyZ_0hsI5eS3V8Tc3tku0IIoK_MUzndgi05gE9IwsJvOw7k9D7gvab6U5maacYw5nhNiXu5Z5aUdvbfXoF-I5BBOt-kuCRO0I/s16000/jen-coaching-1.JPG" title="business coach for women over 40, jennifer flores coaching" width="700" /></a>
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Part II</h3>
<div>
If I were to look back and find the common thread between my work
experiences it would be this:
<i>I'm driven by a desire to provide others the tools, systems, and know-how
that helps them reach their full potential.
</i>
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Whether it was <a href="https://jenniferflores.mykajabi.com/room-design-simplified" target="_blank">providing courses to help you design any room in 7 simple steps</a>, creating conferences so content creators can learn from experts, or
showing you
<a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2019/06/french-bistro-inspired-bathroom-renovation.html" target="_blank">how to renovate a bathroom</a>
- my "Why" has always been to help you achieve what you didn't think was
possible.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Which is why a career focused on pleasing algorithms, sharing shopping
links, and creating content - while extremely profitable - is no longer a
fit. Perhaps it never was.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I am made for coaching others<br /><br />I am made for 3 year strategic plans, gantt charts, and spreadsheets<br /><br />I am made for identifying far off, pie-in-the-sky goals, and breaking them
down into bite-sized, attainable, daily actions<br /><br />I am made for inspiring, leading, and encouraging others to think bigger,
strive further, and just do it</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Especially</i> the women in the second half.</b>
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
The women who still have big dreams but feel diminished in their current
role as worker bee, mother, and ignored 40+ demographic
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>The women who are underemployed</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>The women who see themselves as creative and not business-minded</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
The women who know they are capable of being and doing more, but lack the
plan and village of support to get there
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><i>Is that you?</i></div>
<div><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">The Year of Action</h3>
<div>
There are many coaches and gurus who promise six figure businesses and a 1000
new followers in the blink of an eye. They make money showing you how to do
what <i>they</i> do, but don't help you to make money doing what
<i>you</i> do.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>That's where I come in. </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
✅ Creating a tailored and personalized playbook to help you get from where
you are to where you want to be.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
✅ Providing you the long-term support, feedback, and truth-telling needed
to keep you accountable, motivated, and on track
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
✅ Helping you grow your business in a way that is profitable, optimized,
sustainable, and passion-driven
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
I have been where you are and know that the challenges at this point in your
life and career can feel insurmountable. I know what it means to balance the
demands of children, aging parents, partners, comfortable careers and your
own self doubts while pursuing a new path. But it can be done.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Are you ready to finally move towards those dreams you've held onto for so
long? Are you ready for a year of action?
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Because you and I - we can make that happen.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
The end of the tunnel? We see it now. Far down the road, but it's there.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>So let's make the leap. Excuses are endless but time is not.</div>

Does it feel like winter where you are? I had wanted to share photos of our
outdoor decorations and Christmas porch covered in snow, but the weather has
been unseasonably warm. Not that I mind - I'm not a fan of winter so the less
snow to shovel, the better.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
One outdoor task I do enjoy is setting up our Christmas Porch Decor. I try and
create a nostalgic feel with our porch display. There's something joyful about
walking by a house and being reminded of childhood memories and festive
celebrations of years gone by.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Christmas Porch Decor</h2>
<div>
My porch decor always makes use of the same basic formula: porch trees +
seating + additional lighting + accessories. You can't go wrong with this mix.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
The trees anchor this look. I've decorated them with blue and green
ornaments which work well with the indoor/outdoor oriental <a href="https://bit.ly/3RqWP4b" target="_blank">blue outdoor rug</a> (<a href="https://bit.ly/4anof3E" target="_blank">similar rug</a>).
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
A rug outdoors in the winter can get messy with snow and leaves, but it
helps to ground your display and makes it more noticeable from the street.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
</div>

<div>
I've created a cozy cabin look with a few seasonal motifs. I bought the
metal plaid picnic basket at a vintage fair this summer just so I could use
it on my winter porch. I've filled it with fun faux snowballs from the
dollar store.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
A galvanized pail with variegated <a href="https://bit.ly/3RsPgdp" target="_blank">holly branches</a>, gift wrapped presents, and a vintage wool blanket and <a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2022/10/christmas-home-decor-2022.html" target="_blank">seasonal pillow I designed</a> create a homey and familiar feel. The red ski poles and the vintage
child's sled (Sean's Christmas gift to me last year!) real add to that sense
of nostalgia.

I've only just know noticed that some of our tree lights weren't working -
oops! It's important to have different sources of light with your outdoor
displays. If you want to have them by visable and enjoyed by passersby during
the day and night, you'll have to light them up.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Here, the tree lights, porch lights, and lanterns add different sources of
light. You can catch a glimpse too of the rope garland which hangs above our
porch. The <a href="https://bit.ly/3TpBQkV" target="_blank">buffalo plaid bows</a> add another touch of coziness.

To complete the porch decor, I've hung a simple red wreath on our green door
and laid down the

On the other side of the house, you get a great view of the wreaths on the
window and the chimney. We

Our Christmas outdoor decor wouldn't be complete without the garlands on the
fence and over our garage. Since we have white fencing on each side of our
house, adding the garland creates a cohesive and finished look to the entire
scheme.

Have you been enjoying the month of December? It's amazing how quickly this
month passes by.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
We'll be hosting friends and family soon so I've added Christmas decorations
to our basement. The basement is where we hang out for movie nights, crafting,
and where the kids escape to during family parties. Today I wanted to give you
a tour of our basement family room, our kitchenette, and laundry room with
their pretty holiday touches.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Christmas Basement Decorations</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When we
<a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2020/06/basement-remodel-coastal-white-blue.html" target="_blank">renovated the basement three years ago</a>, we transformed it from an awkward, dated room that always felt a little
creepy to this comfortable, multi-functional, and stylish space.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Extending the sofa wall allowed us to center the sofa in this room, creating
just enough space along the far wall to add in this kitchenette. The
kitchenette completely changed how we enjoy this basement.
</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've continued with the red Christmas decorations here in the basement. Red
birds, deer, and fur-trimmed plaid skate ornaments create a cabin vibe. The
reds are vibrant and bring needed colour to the all white walls (Simply White
by Benjamin Moore) and enliven the space.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are a lot of beige tones and natural wood accents in the basement so
I've used that to complement the reds. Wicker baskets, patinaed silver trays
and galvanized metal art, and pinecones help bring this chic woodsy
theme to life.

I don't have any floating shelves in our main kitchen so its really fun to
style the ones we have here in the basement. There's a mix of thrifted
figurines, Christmas decor I've had for years, and dishware and glassware.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Creating vignettes was a skill that never came easy to me but I've improved
over time. The key to a pleasing display is to vary the heights of objects and
to have them slightly overlap and touching. Here you can see how I've used
plates to raise objects, and how some items are displayed upright to lend
height.

I've kept the rest of the basement decorated with very simple Christmas decorations. I anticipate a lot
of family and friends down here during the holidays so I didn't want too much
decor to get in our way.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On the sideboard, I've created a seasonal display. The model ship and
lamp stay here year round but I've added a Santa figurine and small Christmas
tree for a festive touch.

The games table gets a lot of use so I've added just a footed bowl filled with
gold glass ornaments.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've switched out the beach art above the sofa with the limited edition
<a href="https://www.graymalin.com/photography/the-match-horizontal" target="_blank">snow polo photograph by Gray Malin</a>. Changing out your art to seasonal prints is an easy way to update your look.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Plaid pillows and warm throws enhance the wintry feel.

<div>Do you decorate your laundry room for the holidays? Its completely not necessary but with attractive shiplap walls and greige cabinets, this vintage-inspired laundry is just begging to decorated for the season.</div><br />

Here's the thing I've learned as I've gotten older: the best gifts to give are
those the receiver has actually said they've wanted.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
A few weeks ago, my family decided to do something that I was doubtful about,
but now I am 100% behind. We each put together our own personal wish lists on
<a href="https://www.elfster.com/" target="_blank">Elfster</a> and shared
those lists with each other. Since we have lots of family birthdays in
December and January, this makes gift buying through these months so much
easier.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Not only that, but you're 100% guaranteed to love the gifts you receive.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
No more receiving a gift that you would never use, is the wrong size,
isn't your style, or you don't need.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
No more returns, wastefully tossing or donating a perfectly good gift, or
having to hold onto something out of guilt.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Doesn't that sound like bliss?</div>
<div><br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">The Christmas Gifts I'm Wishing For </h2>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
I actually thought I was a good gift giver but through this exercise I learned
that instead of the sweaters and makeup I would usually give, my older sister
preferred gift cards to
<a href="https://bit.ly/3Gyylko" target="_blank">her favourite shop</a>, my
green-thumbed brother wanted
<a href="https://bit.ly/3uPg7IQ" target="_blank">new plant pots</a>, and my
niece wanted cash for a monitor.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Sure, you give up being surprised by what's under the tree but I think that's
entirely worth it for complete gift receiving satisfaction.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
On that note, I thought I'd share with you the actual things I put on my wish
list. When it comes to gifts, price doesn't matter... it really is the thought
that counts. Read through and I think you'll learn more about me.

I always have a very long list of design books that I'd love to own one
day and <a href="https://amzn.to/41cDdFk" target="_blank">this book</a> is
at the very top of that list. I
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/heidicaillierdesign/" target="_blank">follow Heidi on Instagram</a>
and she has a unique way of using colour and pattern. I'd like to dive
deeper into her work.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>
My favourite kind of workday lunch? A charcuterie board. This
<a href="https://amzn.to/3TgcXbg" target="_blank">KitchenAid mini food processor</a>
would allow me to make my own hummus and roasted red pepper dips, plus, it
would make chopping vegetables for salad a breeze.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>
Every year I buy myself a planner.
<a href="https://www.hemlockandoak.com/products/2024-minimalist-planner?variant=44006965936372" target="_blank">This Hemlock & Oak planner</a>
caught my eye last year and I kept it in mind. I love the minimalist
design, linen texture, and the gorgeous colours. The fact that it's made
in Canada and uses sustainable sourcing and production is a bonus.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>
Simple and sculptural, these
<a href="https://bit.ly/3NiS0Zl" target="_blank">brushed gold orb earrings</a>
would work with any outfit. I have quite a few earrings from J.Crew and
they've proven to be classics that elevate your every day look.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>
This
<a href="https://bit.ly/3RkTLXs" target="_blank">fleece crew neck long sleeved shirt</a>
might not look like much, but let me tell you, its like wearing your
favourite cozy, soft and worn-in shirt. I already have this in the beige
colour and would love it in the black. Its the perfect work from home
shirt that keeps you warm but not too hot.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>
What's your go-to purse? I use my
<a href="https://bit.ly/3Ta75QQ" target="_blank">Lululemon belt bag</a>
everyday but sometimes I need something a little more polished.
<a href="https://poppyandpeonies.com/products/the-sidekick-camel" target="_blank">The Sidekick Camel</a>
purse would be perfect. Its slightly larger size and vegan leather finish
make it a great purse for city walks, day trips, or wearing out with day
dresses.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for a phenomenal 2024. The last few
years have been tough on all of us. That plus moving into my 50's have
caused me really to evaluate what I want out of life, my career, and be
intentional what I'm focusing on. I'm in need of a pivot year and Brianna
Wiest always knows what I need to hear. Seriously,
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/briannawiest/" target="_blank">go follow her on Instagram</a>
and
<a href="https://amzn.to/3sZ0kGZ" target="_blank">grab this book</a> for
daily motivation.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>
A
<a href="https://en.bonnemaman.ca/chestnut-spread.html" target="_blank">jar of Chestnut spread</a>... on my Christmas wish list? I would love to find this in my stocking!
Perhaps only my husband knows this about me, but I'm a sucker for anything
Bonne Maman and anything chestnut/praline/hazelnut, especially during the
winter months. Sean gifted me with the
<a href="https://en.bonnemaman.ca/advent-calendar-2023.html" target="_blank">Bonne Maman Advent calendar</a> I asked for this year - little does he know this will now be a
yearly tradition - and I cannot get enough of their jams and spreads. The
<a href="https://twitter.com/ProfessorPerino/status/1361050887972663298" target="_blank">infamous 2021 Twitter thread</a> only endears me to this brand and their delicious spreads even
more.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>
I only started using
<a href="https://howl.me/ck96kuzcDv4" target="_blank">Merit beauty products</a>
in the last year but I am OBSESSED with this brand. Their
<a href="https://howl.me/ck96oRft3LS" target="_blank">cream blushes</a>
are fabulous for mature skin and this
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prxlu1WFc8o&ab_channel=MERIT" target="_blank">five-minute morning routine</a>
convinced me that I need to add
<a href="https://howl.me/ck96qE37sOu" target="_blank">The Minimalist Foundation and Concealer Stick</a>
to my makeup bag.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>
I've been using
<a href="https://howl.me/clambQdnIqd" target="_blank">Caudelie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum</a>
for years and it lives up to its promise. It visibly reduces my dark spots
and leaves my skin looking brighter and more even.<br /><br />
</li>
<li>
Back in March when I was
<a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2023/03/3-day-amsterdam-itinerary.html" target="_blank">vacationing in Amsterdam</a>
with my family, my daughter Chloe and I saw this girl in her 20s run by
and the first thing we both noticed was her running shoes. They were Nike
Air Force 1's and they had a green sole. After a bit of sleuthing, I found
out those particular shoes aren't sold with a green sole but you can
<a href="https://bit.ly/3T8skT8" target="_blank">create your own customized pair of Air Force 1's</a>! How fun is that? I'd love to have my own unique pair of white sneakers
with a touch of green tennis flair added to them.
</li>
</ol>
<div>
That's everything I have on my Christmas wish list this year. Even receiving
just one of these things would make me extremely happy. Tell me, what's
really on <i>your</i> list?

<h3 style="text-align: left;">1. Set A Color Scheme</h3>
<div>
The easiest way to bring a cohesive and cozy look to your holiday home is
by decorating with a clear color scheme. Whether your preference is for
wintry blues, neutral tones, or retro brights, you can bring a unique look
to life with color.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
This year, I leaned into the traditional Christmas colors of deep green
and classic red paired with accents from nature. I'm not normally a red
person, but it feels so right this time of year. I've used traditional red
as a secondary color rather than the main show. You'll see it in a bunch
of berries in a vase, a red ribbon on the tree, or in a pillow or throw.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">2. Decorate with Greenery</h3>
<div>
Think of cozy winter and scenes of snow and greenery instantly come to
mind. Using faux greenery or fresh greenery in your Christmas decor is a
necessity. Add branches to art or on a bookshelf for texture and colour.
Tiny faux trees sprinkled around your home are a quick way to bring a cozy
feel to any room.

Last year, I strung multiple garlands together on our fireplace mantel and
I loved the look so much, I repeated it again this year for our
<a

>. I paired the greenery with velvet ribbons and shiny bells. Its a
popular interior design style you'll find in many living rooms this
season.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">3. Ample Throw Pillows</h3>
<div>
Pillow covers with seasonal motifs, plaid pillows, or in soft textures can
bring that cozy vibe to your home. If you have little time to decorate,
you can simply change out your pillow covers for a cozier ambiance. A sofa
piled with pillows is inviting and can bring you warmth and comfort on
cold nights!

<h3 style="text-align: left;">4. Use Fun Gift Wrap</h3>
<div>
A Christmas decorating idea that often gets overlooked is using your
gift-wrapped presents as decor. I like to wrap my gifts in wrapping paper
that coordinates with the rest of my decorations. This year, gift wrap in
a gingerbread motif and plain craft paper add browns and natural tones to
the red and green theme. It's a great idea use ribbons or bows in your
accent colours to tie the look together.

Neutral colors like whites, creams, greys, and beiges have a way of
conveying calmness and coziness. Luckily, you can easily find neutral
Christmas decor ideas to work in your home.

I like to use white ornaments to add brightness to the Christmas tree.
Ornaments in different textures, from plain matte balls to knitted
ornaments and white berry garlands bring that wintry feeling. Likewise,
wood tones of pinecones, wood beads, and birch bark are found throughout
the room.

Consider neutral colors for your textiles. A faux fur warm blanket and
neutral pillows allow the rest of your decor to shine while creating a
warm and welcoming atmosphere.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">6. Coffee table and accent tables</h3>
<div>
A coffee table or accent table provides an ideal surface for decorative
elements. You can use it to display a tray, filled with seasonal decor
like faux tree, candle, or books, or place a lantern on it to add light to
a dark corner. A side table also gives your guests the perfect spot to set
down their hot cocoa - a must for cozy nights!

<h3 style="text-align: left;">7. Abundant Wood and Natural Elements</h3>
<div>
Like greenery, wood and natural elements are essential for setting a
holiday scene. Go bold with a flocked Christmas tree or start small with
pine cones and wooden ornaments. Add warmth with woven baskets, trays, a
dough bowl, or branches. Take inspiration from the winter season and bring
natural elements into your interior decor.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">8. Focus on the Fireplace </h3>
<div>
If you are fortunate to have a fireplace in your living room or family
room, it won't take much to create a cozy and welcoming focal point. Adorn
the fireplace mantel with your unique own garland and incorporate elements
that bring you joy. That can be anything from handmade paper chains and
popcorn garlands, to glass ornaments, velvet ribbons, and vintage
stockings. With a roaring fire, its the perfect opportunity to use the
fireplace as a cozy backdrop to evening conversation through to Christmas
morning gift opening.

<div>
Adding a different variety of light sources is a great way to make your
room feel cozy and calm. From the white Christmas lights on the family
Christmas tree to fairy lights woven into the mantel garland and glowing
orbs on the bookshelf, I've tried to create a warm glow throughout the
entire room.

<div>
Warm and fuzzy throw blankets are one of my favorite things to decorate
with in winter. I have them placed on the arms of chairs or in baskets
within arm's reach. This year, I've wrapped the seat cushions of my sofa
in a soft flannel blanket. The effect is soft, comfortable and instant
cozy factor!

<div>
A textured tree collar is a unique Christmas decoration that can help in
creating an inviting holiday atmosphere. Choose a collar with a soft,
plush material like faux fur or knit to add warmth and tactile appeal to
the base of your Christmas tree.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">12. Velvet or Satin Ribbon</h3>
<div>
You can elevate the festive ambiance of your home with the luxurious touch
of velvet or satin ribbons. These materials exude sophistication and
coziness simultaneously, making them perfect for creating a warm holiday
aesthetic. I've incorporated velvet ribbons into our tree decorations to
add a tactile element, making the tree more inviting.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">13. Gold Ornaments and Accessories</h3>
<div>
The timeless elegance of gold adds a touch of luxury, creating a sense of
opulence and comfort in your decor. To use gold effectively, intersperse
it strategically throughout your room. Consider gold hued ornaments in the
tree, brass bells placed on a bookshelf, or golden candlesticks. The
reflective surface of gold plays with the light, contributing to a warm
and inviting glow.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">14. Reflective Surfaces</h3>
<div>
Consider incorporating an antique mirror, metallic accents, or glass
ornaments into your holiday decorations. Mirrors can bounce light, making
the space feel brighter and cozier. Additionally, glass or metallic
ornaments with reflective surfaces catch and reflect the glow of twinkling
lights, adding a magical touch to the festive setting.

Have you put up your Christmas decorations? With the arrival of December, it
truly feels like the holiday season is upon. I'll be sharing some of the
spaces I've decorated for the holidays, starting today with the Christmas fireplace mantel.<br /><br />For me, the mantel (or mantle as most people misspell it!)
is the most fun to decorate, even moreso than the Christmas tree. With the
tree, you're likely using the same tree and mostly the same decorations year
after year. It can be difficult to achieve a different look without buying
lots of new things.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
In contrast, the mantel provides the opportunity for creating an entirely new
design and stunning focal point each year. Even if you are reusing your garland and Christmas stockings, it's the perfect place to express your creativity and bring a new theme to life. Here's the one I've created for
this Christmas. I call it my Organic Traditional Christmas Mantel.
</div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Organic Traditional Christmas Decor</h2>
<div>What is Organic Traditional Christmas Decor?</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
<div>
This is a style of holiday decoration that combines elements of both
traditional and natural, organic aesthetics. It's all about blending classic
Christmas charm with a touch of nature and a dash of sustainability. </div><div><br /></div><div>My holiday decor style tends to gravitate towards timeless, classic looks. I love finding new ways to reuse pieces and make them feel fresh while also invoking a sense of nostalgia.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>This year, I've taken a traditional red and green color scheme but also embraced
earthy tones such as browns, and natural elements. Using this style, I
sought to create a warm and cozy atmosphere with familiar classic holiday
traditions combined with a connection to nature and the outdoors.
</div>
<div><br /></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Layered Garlands</h3>
<div>
The foundation to a beautiful Christmas mantel display is the garland. You
can use a real evergreen garland or artificial garlands but I encourage you to consider
artificial garlands if you haven't already. With an artificial or faux
garland, you don't have to worry that it will dry out and crumble before
Christmas arrives. You can also reuse it for many years to come and save on
the cost and effort of having to purchase fresh greenery each year.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
The quality and style of faux garlands has also improved drastically over
the last few years. I wrote
<a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2023/10/where-to-buy-artificial-garland-for-christmas.html" target="_blank">this post on where to buy artificial garlands</a>
and you can see that there are lots of sources for real looking garlands.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
My garland is actually two garlands, the super popular
<a href="https://bit.ly/480f874" target="_blank">Norfolk pine real-touch garland</a>
combined with a pre-mixed juniper and pine garland (no longer available). It creates a lush,
layered, full look that draws you in.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Vintage Elements</h3>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
To add to that organic feeling to my holiday mantel decor, I've intertwined a raspberry vine garland
that I got at the thrift store and delicate <a href="https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/strala-led-string-light-with-40-lights-battery-operated-leaf-gold-colour-00563132/" target="_blank">gold leaf fairy lights</a>
with the greenery. There are different ways to place your garland - you can lay it on top or hang it along the front. I've chosen to hang the garland asymmetrically with a long drape on
one side of the mantel. It cascades on the front of the mantel (see
<a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2019/11/how-to-hang-garland-on-mantle-or-mantel.html" target="_blank">this post</a>
for tips on hanging garland) in a dramatic wave-like pattern, giving a sense
of movement.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Vintage or handcrafted items also play a significant role, giving the decor
a timeless and sentimental feel. The small branches displayed in a vintage
pitcher, the brass bells, and the long green velvet ribbon add warmth and
familiarity. These are classic Christmas mantel decorations that bring elegance and a sense of
tradition.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Natural Materials</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Organic traditional decor often incorporates elements such as wooden
ornaments, handmade crafts, and items sourced from nature, like pine cones,
twigs, and dried berries. Take a closer look and you can see the cluster
of petite pinecones and faux twigs tucked into the garland.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr3L2oRtyZSqF6ASawQZmzxvCAMfl5t5xAWQ12hU98K9ISunMtR0h1tEdmxY3RyCPZhmobfwsBHsGTcrnWQBt3uX8-3LcyjCsE4sTDAEeiI7dC5YKXh1MEu0LT3RlDMt94IRQH5rQj5c1FuzyAY1JhqzEGSei2GRjMcIyz-uozqlv6Bps1w0k7U9Esk-s/s1348/christmas-living-room-17.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="traditional christmas mantel decor with faux garland, brass deer, berry vine garland" border="0" data-original-height="1348" data-original-width="900" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr3L2oRtyZSqF6ASawQZmzxvCAMfl5t5xAWQ12hU98K9ISunMtR0h1tEdmxY3RyCPZhmobfwsBHsGTcrnWQBt3uX8-3LcyjCsE4sTDAEeiI7dC5YKXh1MEu0LT3RlDMt94IRQH5rQj5c1FuzyAY1JhqzEGSei2GRjMcIyz-uozqlv6Bps1w0k7U9Esk-s/s16000/christmas-living-room-17.jpg" title="traditional christmas mantel, christmas fireplace garland, traditional fireplace mantle garland" width="700" /></a>
</div>
<div><br /></div>
Atop the mantel, I've added white berry branches displayed in a black vase and a
pair of oversized pinecones. These larger elements bring texture and natural
colour to the elegant Christmas decor.
<div><br /></div>
<div>
To soften the look, I've used cableknit white stockings we've had for over a decade.
Their faux fur pom poms and cork name tags infuse cozy charm and keep the
mantel decor from feeling too serious.
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Gold Accents</h3>
<div>
One other notable design device is the ample use of gold-hued accessories.
Gold suits a traditional scheme and combined with the twinkle lights and
roar of the cozy fireplace, it creates a warm, welcoming glow.
</div>
<div>

</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've had the
<a href="https://bit.ly/419STJn" target="_blank">shield mirror</a> and
<a href="https://bit.ly/3NejWNY" target="_blank">chevron fireplace screen</a>
for years and I don't think I will ever tire of them. They are timeless
and feel both contemporary and traditional in this setting. The large
brass deer is one I picked up at an antique show. With a plaid ribbon around
his neck, he adds a commanding presence to this display.
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, a
<a href="https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/kaktusfikon-plant-pot-rattan-50454890/" target="_blank">woven basket</a>
and
<a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2022/10/christmas-home-decor-2022.html" target="_blank">pillow that I designed with my friend Sarah</a> add a tactile and textural touch to the decor. I love how the reds
and deep greens can be found in the colours of the pillow.

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ultimately, organic traditional Christmas decor is about striking a
balance between the warmth and familiarity of traditional holiday elements
and the simplicity and connection to nature that organic, sustainable
choices bring to the celebration. I think this year's mantel has managed
to do just that.
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Later this week, I'll share the rest of the my Christmas living room which
has that same traditional + organic feel. I hope you've enjoyed what
you've seen so far!
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But in case this mantel isn't quite your personal style, I invite you to see my
mantels from Christmases past. I've loved creating each and every one of
these diverse looks!

It's here, Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. As a content
creator, I get the heads-up on the biggest and best deals that will be landing
in stores today so I wanted to share with you the best Black Friday deals
you'll find on Amazon.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
And to make your holiday shopping easier, I'm sharing the deals you'll find on
Amazon Canada and Amazon US separately. As a Canadian, shipping fees, duties,
and taxes are things I'm particularly sensitive to at this time of year so
these gift guides come with no unexpected surprises.
</div>

<li>
I couldn't recommend the <a href="https://amzn.to/3Rd5MiA" target="_blank">Beats Studio Pro - Wireless Bluetooth Noise Cancelling Headphones</a> more. We gave them to Chloe last Christmas and are impressed with
the sound quality and how lightweight they are
</li>

Light sofa owners and pet owners agree that the <a href="https://amzn.to/3sPqtba" target="_blank">Bissell Little Green Proheat Portable Deep Cleaner/Spot Cleaner</a> is indispensible. No surprise that it is Amazon's #1 best selling

this is it

You're one step closer to your dream vacation with the <a href="https://amzn.to/3sWhUet" target="_blank">AmazonBasics Hardside Spinner Luggage - 2 Piece Set</a>. Reviewers say it is reliable and sturdy and at 22% off, it seems like a
good deal for a two piece set

</li>
<li>
If a <a href="https://amzn.to/3sM2wBo" target="_blank">KitchenAid 5-Quart Stand Mixer</a> is on your wish list, today's the day to buy one. We've had one for
years and it is indestructible. I'm pretty sure this mixer will outlive us
all

Update your home security with the <a href="https://amzn.to/46salde" target="_blank">Blink Video Doorbell + 1 Outdoor 4 smart security camera</a>. You can answer your door from anywhere and keep your home protected

</li>
<li>
I own three <a href="https://amzn.to/3RaAUiQ" target="_blank">Hisense smart TVs</a> and give the brand consistently high ratings. For an inexpensive
TV, the picture quality is great and the sound is phenomenal
</li>
<li>
At 40% off and with over 500 5-star reviews, the <a href="https://amzn.to/3SSc8oQ" target="_blank">BuTure Pro Cordless Vacuum Cleaner</a>

<div>
One thing I love about having a teen daughter? As she gets older, we get to
share our things. From clothes to shoes to makeup, if my things go missing,
I know who has them.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Today's gift guide features gift ideas for the teenage girl. Funny enough, I
wouldn't mind finding these gifts in my stocking either. Don't tell her but
I just might need to borrow that liquid blush!
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! </div>

<li>
How did it take me so long to discover the magic of
<a href="https://bit.ly/3QHxItm" target="_blank">spa headbands</a>? They
keep your hair out of the way when washing your face or applying
makeup.
</li>
<li>
Chances are any teen girl you encounter today will be wearing UGGs on
her feet. The
<a href="https://bit.ly/3ukQ0cq" target="_blank">UGG classic slipper</a>
is one she'll wear indoors and out. And with socks. I really don't
understand teen fashion!
</li>
<li>
Who doesn't love seeing their name on things? The
<a href="https://bit.ly/49JLR27" target="_blank">personalized name necklace</a>
is something that was popular when I was a teen and it continues to
endure
</li>
<li>
The textured fleece of this
<a href="https://bit.ly/49Poynm" target="_blank">Everywhere Belt Bag</a>
makes it cool enough for the teen set
</li>
<li>
I just bought Chloe this
<a href="https://bit.ly/474EqAS" target="_blank">8 inch Makeup Vanity Mirror</a>
and we both love it! It has 3 light settings, a 10x magnifying mirror,
and is rechargeable
</li>
<li>
The Stanley tumbler just might be the hottest gift this season. I like
the
<a href="https://bit.ly/3QPbSW9" target="_blank">30oz IceFlow Flip Straw Tumbler</a>
as it has a flip strap and easy to carry handle
</li>
<li>
The
<a href="https://howl.me/ck3hDF9bWLu" target="_blank">Soft Pinch Liquid Blush</a>
by Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez will give her just enough colour and a
soft, healthy flush
</li>
<li>
Tiktok tells me that <a href="https://howl.me/ck3hGG6ai1c" target="_blank">Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops Serum</a>
leaves your skin feeling soft, moisturized, and dewy
</li>
<li>
Put the <a href="https://howl.me/ck3hKTknMbi" target="_blank">LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask</a>
on at night and wake up with skin that feels hydrated and less puffy
</li>
<li>
My teenager swears by the
<a href="https://bit.ly/40MMVOE" target="_blank">Lululemon Hotty Hot High-Rise Lined Short 2.5"</a>. The high rise is comfortable on her waist and short length gives her
room too move
</li>
<li>
We loved watching the TV series adaptations of the
<a href="https://bit.ly/46lF8bz" target="_blank">Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy</a>
on
<a href="https://amzn.to/3sH4bs1" target="_blank">Amazon Prime Video</a>. The book set will allow her to linger and revisit this story of teen
romance set in a gorgeous coastal locale
</li>
<li>
Help keep her vanity neat and clean with this <a href="https://bit.ly/46kSB3y" target="_blank">STORi Clear Plastic Vanity Makeup Organizer</a>

<div>
Are you hosting any holiday events this year? I'll be hosting our annual
<a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2016/01/a-cold-weather-pancakes-pajamas-party.html" target="_blank">Pancakes & Pyjamas party</a>
- which really is just an excuse to enjoy breakfast for dinner.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Hosting requires a lot of work, which is why its nice to acknowledge the
effort your host or hostess put in by giving them a thoughtful gift. I like
to give hostess gifts that are small yet practical, perhaps something they
would love but would never have bought for themselves. Check out some ideas
in my gift guide for the host & hostess below.

<div><br /></div>
<div>
Today I'm sharing gift guides for her. Let's be honest, we're all a little
more price conscious these days so I've included gift guides at different
price points. Luckily, there are a lot of great options out there and you
can find thoughtful and unique gifts whatever your budget. I would be happy
to find any of these presents under the tree and hopefully some of these
options work the people on your gift list.

In case the constant barrage of sales emails in your Inbox didn't tip you off,
it's the biggest shopping week of the year. This week ends with Black Friday
but many stores have launched their Black Friday sales early so don't hesitate
to shop early.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
It is time to put your shopping list together and see what you can check off
and perhaps get at a deal. Struggling with what to buy? I've got you covered.
I'll be sharing gift guides each day this week with the most coveted and
stylish gifts for each person on your list - so come back tomorrow!</div>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>
This
<a href="https://bit.ly/3QY1fQU" target="_blank">2 Pack Artificial Cedar Trees</a> is an essential part of porch decor. I would place them in
<a href="https://bit.ly/3uxtf52" target="_blank">outdoor planters</a> and
place them on either side of the front door
</li>
<li>
This <a href="https://bit.ly/3QPBbq3" target="_blank">Faux Cedar & Winterberry Christmas Wreath</a>

Use it indoors or out to bring a bit of holiday nostalgia

If classic white lights on your home exterior is what you're after,

have good ratings and look very easy to install
</li>

Can you ever have enough pillows? I think not! Pair a
<a href="https://bit.ly/3SHONGu" target="_blank">farmhouse stripe</a>,
<a href="https://bit.ly/3QCrRWn" target="_blank">textured white</a>, and
classic
<a href="https://bit.ly/46cZzYf" target="_blank">tartan pillow</a> for a
versatile look
</li>
<li>
There is nothing more Canadian than a
<a href="https://bit.ly/3soj0Qc" target="_blank">pair of Canadian geese</a>
for your holiday decor. I just love how whimsical yet still classic these
are!
</li>
<li>
I bought two of these

ago and am surprised at how well the colour and the quality of the mats

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Men can be notoriously difficult to shop for so you'll want to start your search for their gifts right now. I know my husband would love each and every one items on this list (partially because he already owns the <a href="https://bit.ly/3MQswCl" target="_blank">hoodie</a>, the <a href="https://bit.ly/3uhTigy" target="_blank">joggers</a>, and the <a href="https://bit.ly/46nAPN7" target="_blank">running shoes</a>!)</div>

<li>
The nice & thick sweatshirt material of this
<a href="https://bit.ly/3MQswCl" target="_blank">Full Zip Hoodie</a> make it perfect for coziness and layering. Sean has multiples of
this hoodie (it comes in 8 different colours) and it is always the first
thing he reaches for on weekends.
</li>
<li>
Even though he has all the tools in the garage, this basic
<a href="https://bit.ly/3SN8QmI" target="_blank">65-piece Stanley Home Tool Kit</a>
is a great thing to keep indoors. It has everything you need for small
home fixes
</li>
<li>
For those who loving having an alarm clock bedside (like my husband),
this <a href="https://bit.ly/3ujTb45" target="_blank">Wooden Digital Alarm Clock with Wireless Charging</a>
is a stylish & multi-functional choice
</li>
<li>
This
<a href="https://bit.ly/3ufRNzt" target="_blank">40L Duffle Bag</a> from
Lululemon has compartments for his shoes, laptop, and gear. It also has a
sleeve which allows it to slide on top of his rolling luggage for easy
travel
</li>
<li>
This
<a href="https://bit.ly/46mM7Rx" target="_blank">Oversized Blake Black-Tone Watch</a> is striking in its simplicity. The tone on tone black finish
ensures it's a match to every outfit
</li>
<li>
A classic
<a href="https://bit.ly/3upkCd7" target="_blank">flannel pyjama set</a>
will keep him warm throughout the holidays
</li>
<li>
If your guy is constantly misplacing his things, this
<a href="https://bit.ly/3sE3GPr" target="_blank">Wooden Docking Station / Nightstand Organizer</a>
is just what he needs. I love that it even has a hook for his wedding
ring!
</li>
<li>
We have become an enthusiastic New Balance family over the past year -
their shoes just feel and look better than all the rest! This
<a href="https://bit.ly/46nAPN7" target="_blank">NB Numeric Tiago Lemos 1010</a> feels sporty yet is neutral enough to wear with most of his outfits
</li>
<li>
No doubt he will get lots of use out of this
<a href="https://bit.ly/3G8wjr5" target="_blank">5-Pack Essential Tees</a>
in the season's most fashionable colours
</li>
<li>
My husband was doubtful about these
<a href="https://bit.ly/3uhTigy" target="_blank">Slim Canvas Joggers with GapFlex</a>
- until he tried them! Now they are his essential weekend wear and are a
good alternative to everyday jeans
</li>

Have you started decorating for the holidays yet? I'm starting slowly,
beginning with the fireplace mantel and the bookcases in the living room. I'm
working mostly with the decorations I already have - its nice to see the same
pieces year after year - though I do have a few gaps in my collection.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
There are so many pretty Christmas decorations out there that its not easy to
resist buying new items. Luckily, there a lot of budget-friendly options.
Select one or a few unique pieces and you might find that's enough to revive
your same old holiday decor.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Below you'll find the best budget Christmas decorations in stores right now.
And I've scoured stores in Canada and the US so you can shop locally (without
the added extra shipping or duties and taxes!).
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Do you spy anything you want to add to your decor? I might have bought the
downswept tabletop tree myself ;) Shop these collections <a href="https://www.shopltk.com/explore/ramblingreno" target="_blank">in my LTK shop</a> or
click the product links below.

<div>
What are you shopping for this holiday season? I want to shop for less but
shop better. Better deals, better quality items. More thoughtful purchases
and less spur of the moment buys.
</div>
<br />
It seems more and more retailers are having sales earlier which gives you more
time to research and price shop. No need to wait until Black Friday -
retailers are putting some of their very best items on sale right now.

This is good for your pocketbook, especially if you are shopping for higher
ticket items. As we plan for parties and gatherings, you might want to
consider upgrading items in your home, from appliances to lighting to
furniture.
<br /><br />
I've rounded up some early deals in home decor.

November is here which means the holiday shopping season will be kicking into
high gear. One of the seasonal sales I always wait for is the <a href="https://howl.me/ckUG85kKUSG" target="_blank">Sephora Savings Event</a>. From now until November 6th, you can get 30% off Sephora Collection
purchases and 10% off everything else (or more if you are a Sephora VIB or
Rouge member).

I take advantage of the sale to stock up on my makeup favourites and get some
early gift shopping done. Now that I'm the other side of 50, I realize that
skincare and makeup go a long way in making me feel youthful and current.

Here's my top 12 Sephora Savings Event picks for women over 40. I've tried and
loved each and every one of these products and hope you will too!

I could feel the effects of this serum almost instantly. I applied it at night and woke up with my skin feel firmer and tighter. It's a little pricy but the results are comparable to what I get from another long time favourite, the <a href="https://howl.me/ckUHgwALbvb" target="_blank">Estee Lauder Night Repair Serum</a>. You don't need a lot so use sparingly and work it into your skin.<br /><br /></li><li>Let's face it - eyebrow care is a concern once you hit midlife. The over-plucking of your 20's and the gradual thinning of brows that comes with age has probably left you with a less than ideal brow situation. What you need is <a href="https://howl.me/ckUFLY1VJaH" target="_blank">DIPBROW® Waterproof, Smudge Proof Brow Pomade</a> in your makeup kit. I swear by product - it gives me the realistic looking brows I long for (once I learned how to apply it with <a href="https://howl.me/ckUHuAv7bR6" target="_blank">the brow brush</a> properly!). <br /><br /></li><li>A good daily moisturizer is hard to find but the <a href="https://howl.me/ckUFXHFdud8" target="_blank">Lotus Anti- Aging Daily Moisturizer</a> by Fresh is the one I rely on. It's lightweight but hydrating and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy.<br /><br /></li><li>I generally wear foundation every day and <a href="https://howl.me/ckUFYsF0P5i" target="_blank">HD Skin Undetectable Longwear Foundation</a> is by far the best one I've found. It gives me a light and flawless finish that I can layer the rest of my makeup on. A little goes on a very very long way so use it with a <a href="https://howl.me/ckUHDG9JXMz" target="_blank">PRO foundation brush</a> to get the best coverage and little wastage.<br /><br /></li><li>I'm a totally beginner at using bronzer sticks, but if you want a warm glow and some contouring and definition, <a href="https://howl.me/ckUFRnR2vdo" target="_blank">Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Sticks</a> make it super simple! This product just glides on and is easy to blend with just your fingertips. Looks fabulous on all skin tones.<br /><br /></li><li>I've tried so many under eye correctors and <a href="https://howl.me/ckUFZbap1ii" target="_blank">this one</a> by Bobbi Brown is the best at hiding discoloration. I apply it with a <a href="https://howl.me/ckUHNUJgf3m" target="_blank">concealer brush</a> and layer with a <a href="https://howl.me/ckUHOQZzWyT" target="_blank">liquid concealer</a> for an even finish.<br /><br /></li><li>At only $15, the <a href="https://howl.me/ckUFVDmybUl" target="_blank">Multi-Peptide Lash and Brow Serum</a> by The Ordinary is a steal that actually delivers results. I apply this to my eyebrows consistently (you can also use it for your eyelashes) and it has made my brows slightly thicker and brought some bald spots back to life. Definitely a must have!<br /><br /></li><li>I love the formulation of the <a href="https://howl.me/ckUFUOoGWur" target="_blank">Retractable Rouge Gel Lip Liner</a>. It glides on easily and doesn't feather or bleed into my fine lines. It comes lots of great shades too - monarch, a matte beige brown, is my daily go-to.<br /> </li><li>I'm new to cream blushes but after trying the <a href="https://howl.me/ckUFN91u1le" target="_blank">Mini Flush Balm Cream Blush Set</a> (yes, I gifted it to myself!), I am a total convert! These blushes are creamy and glide on beautifully. You can build them up or layer them for a completely custom look. The Rouge in this set can be a little intense but I love it on my lips for a hint of bright colour. This is my top gift pick of the season!<br /><br /></li><li>How many lipsticks do you have scattered in your purses? At only $20, you can have one of these <a href="https://howl.me/ckUFWpaJ0Hs" target="_blank">Satin Hydrating Lipsticks</a> in every bag you own. This is a great all-around, every-day lipstick. It's smooth, highly pigmented, and comes in lots of great colours. It doesn't last as long as pricier lipsticks but if you don't mind reapplying, its a good choice.<br /><br /></li><li>The <a href="https://howl.me/ckUFN5iW2Ws" target="_blank">Vinoperfect Ultimate Brightening Set</a> was my favourite gift I received last Christmas and I loved it so much, I'm asking for it again this year. This particular set is focused on lightening dark spots and there was a noticeable difference when I used it.<br /><br /></li><li>When you don't have a lot of time to apply your makeup, you'll want to reach for <a href="https://howl.me/ckUFOn9QMBn" target="_blank">Brow Definer 3-in-1 Triangle Tip</a>. It gives you an easy defined shape and realistic hair strokes. Its an effortless way to get a simple clean brow.</li></ol><div>Now you have all my beauty secrets.

There's something undeniably enchanting about the charm of a cozy cottage. The
warmth of natural materials, the timeless appeal of vintage finds, and the
casual comforts that define cottage style decor make it a great idea for
transforming any space into a welcoming retreat.

Today I wanted to share the cottage style decorating ideas that you'll find at
<a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/p/prince-edward-county-cottage.html" target="_blank">Wildwood Cottage</a>, our summer cottage in Prince Edward County where we escape from city life.
We've made a few changes lately, so I wanted give you a tour of what it looks
like today.<br /><br />

Let's start outside. Our cottage is located at
<a href="https://www.eastlakeshores.ca/" target="_blank">East Lake Shores</a>,
a 3-season cottage condo resort. This means we own our little plot of land and
the cottage, and we get to share amenities like swimming pools, basketball
and tennis courts, watercraft, and planned activities with the rest of the
cottage owners and renters.<br /><br />It's the best of cottage life and a
great base to explore the County. The area has 40+ wineries, amazing
restaurants, and the magnificent white sandy beaches of Sandbanks Provincial
Park are only a 10 minute drive away. The cottage is not winterized though,
which means we enjoy it from early April to the end of October.

<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's a view of the back of the cottage. You'll see its situated amongst the
trees, which keeps the cottage nice and cool. The two
<a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2016/10/building-storage-shed-part-i-assembly.html" target="_blank">sheds are ones we installed ourselves</a>
and finished to match the cottage.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Doing any sort of DIY or decorating project at the cottage takes some effort.
We have limited time here so home improvement projects require better
planning, getting materials ahead of time, and being willing to give your time
at the beach to do the work.
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Many of our projects have sat for years as a result, but we managed to
complete the loft, guest bedroom, and redecorate the living room this summer so I'm
excited to show you those updates.

The best place to be in the summer is right here on this porch. At 200 sq
ft, this large screened in porch is where we gather for lunch time meals,
morning coffee, or late night conversations with friends. It has a small
table for dining, and a larger lounge area with ample seating.

It's hefty, substantial, and has held up to eight years of regular use. I
paired it with outdoor chairs and I have to say, those outdoor chairs are
just as comfy as indoor dining chairs!

The galley style kitchen features a wall of cabinetry and an island. The
white shaker door details and gunmetal hardware suit the country feel
of the cottage.

The swing-arm lamp above the window, the plaid roman blind, the black metal
faucet, and the moonstone backsplash were some of the custom and DIY touches
we added to this area. In such an airy, white space, little pops of colour
can make a big difference.

You'll find our decor is a mix of nautical and country. Our cottage is in
the country, by a lake and a beach... I couldn't decide between the two
decor styles so decided to incorporate both!

These <a href="https://rstyle.me/+7epQJICCFvUucpWTlW8DTg" target="_blank">bistro counter stools</a> were the first thing I bought for the cottage
and I'm still in love with them. So many great meals and conversations were
enjoyed sitting at these stools.

but I love how the wood looks against all the white. Keeping the shiplap natural adds an organic and homey feel to the cottage.

The sofa has a pull-out trundle which we absolutely love (so perfect for movie
nights!) but it has dictated the placement of furniture in the area. Furniture needs to stay to the perimeter of the room so we can pull out the trundle.</div>

allows us to tuck in these round ottomans when the sofabed is out and in use.

A desk (the same one as in the living room) provides a spot for WFH days.
Luckily, the cottage has great wifi so we've been able to work remotely from
here from time to time.

Opposite the bed, a collection of vintage boat photographs I found in a dusty
box in Kingston hangs on the wall. The room has a definite nautical vibe which
I love... when you're a guest in someone's home, don't you want it to feel
like an escape?

We've kept things clean and neat up in the loft. A platform bed with floral
bedding, a low profile dresser, and a standing mirror are tucked along one
side. Chloe has decorated the space with printed art and a vintage sign she
bought at the local antique show. It feels youthful and vibrant, like a
teenage room should be.

This small bathroom has gone through a few changes over the years. At first, we
<a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2017/08/a-cottage-bathroom-redone.html" target="_blank">painted it a mid-tone grey</a>
which was much too dark. Then we repainted the shiplap a minty green which look
just right with the dark doors. A new <a href="https://rstyle.me/+GUZBeyCbB1ng0CBenOJ6tA" target="_blank">floral shower curtain</a> adds charm.

The holiday season is just around the corner (how is it Canadian Thanksgiving
next week?!), and we know how important it is to get your decorations sorted
ahead of time.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
One of the most important pieces of holiday decor is the garland. It's a
versatile piece that can be used in a variety of ways, from adorning your
Christmas tree to hanging on your mantel. But have you ever considered buying
artificial garland instead of real garland?
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<h2 id="1" style="text-align: left;">Artificial or Faux Garlands</h2>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
If you're looking to spruce up your home or office space during the holiday
season, artificial garland is a great decor option to consider. Faux garlands,
artificial garlands, fake garlands - whatever you call them, there are a few
reasons why artificial foliage is the way to go.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Artificial garland is a type of decoration made from synthetic materials like
plastic or fabric. It mimics the appearance of natural or real garland but has
many positive benefits. It's more durable and long-lasting than fresh garland.
It won't dry out or shed needles, meaning you can use it year after year. It's often more affordable than real garland, which means you can get more
bang for your buck. And, advancements have been made in terms of design that you can find realistic looking garlands that will have your holiday guests fooled.</div>

Why Buy Artificial Christmas Garlands Now?
</h3>
<div>
The holiday season is always a busy time of year, and one of the biggest
sources of stress can be decorating your home. Between shopping for gifts,
cooking holiday meals, and attending various gatherings, it's no wonder that
many people put off holiday decorating until the last minute. But you can alleviate a lot of that stress with a little early holiday prep. </div><div><br /></div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">Get the best selection and best price</h4>
Buying faux garland now, before the holiday rush, is a smart move. I can't
tell you how many times I've thought about adding something to my Christmas
decor only to find all of the best options are already sold out.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Popular styles and colors of garland may sell out quickly, leaving you with
limited options. Realistic touch garlands are trending for Christmas decor so
more shoppers will be looking for the same things you want in your home. For
artificial garlands,
<u>the most popular styles will sell out by the beginning of November</u>, so
shop early!

<div>
Buying holiday garland during the peak of the season can also be quite
expensive. Retailers know that many people are willing to pay top dollar for
festive decorations, so they may raise their prices accordingly. </div><div><br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">Less stressful decorating</h4>
</div>
<div>
Buying faux garland early also gives you plenty of time to start decorating
your home well before the holiday season begins. You can take your time
putting up your artificial wreaths, setting a variety of garlands on the
fireplace mantel or hanging them on stair railings.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
This can help reduce stress and allow you to enjoy the festive atmosphere of
your home for a longer period of time. You may even be inspired to get
creative and come up with new ideas for how to decorate your space with your
new garland. Plus, you'll have the peace of mind knowing that you have one
less thing to worry about come holiday season.

What to Look for When Buying Faux Holiday Garland
</h3>
Not everyone wants to deal with the hassle of a real garland, which is why
faux garlands have become an increasingly popular choice. If you're
considering purchasing a faux holiday garland, here are a few things to keep
in mind.<br />
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">Materials:</h4>
Consider the materials used in making the garland. Look for garlands made of
high-quality materials such as PVC or PE plastic, which will ensure longevity
and durability.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
You may also want to consider garlands with added features such as UV
protection or fire resistance, especially if you plan to use the garland
outside. If the garland contains LED lights, you'll want to check if they are
rated for indoor or outdoor use.<br /><br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">Quality:</h4>
Next, pay attention to the quality and durability of the garland. Check for
tightly wound wires, sturdy branches, and secure attachments like artificial
flowers and berries. A high-quality garland will withstand wear and tear, and
hold up for years to come. Don't be afraid to gently pull on branches or bend
the garland to test its flexibility and strength.<br /><br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">Size:</h4>
Not all garlands are the same. You'll want to consider where you're placing
your garland in order to determine what size garland you need - and if you
need to purchase more than one!
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Are you hanging the garland around your front door? Will it be laying flat on
your mantel? Or will you have it swagged on the stair rail? Check out these
posts for determining

and for

</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">Style:</h4>
Finally, consider the style and design of the garland. Faux garlands come in a
variety of styles, from classic greenery to flower garlands to more whimsical
options. You can also select from different foliage or types of evergreen such
as cedar, pine, or fir.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Choose a garland that fits your personal aesthetic and complements your
existing holiday decor. You may also want to consider added embellishments
such as lights, pinecones, or berries, which can add an extra touch of festive
cheer to your Christmas display.<br />

<div class="content_hint"></div>
</div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Price and Shipping:</h4>
When it comes to comparing prices and quality of garland from different
stores, it's important to keep in mind that you often get what you pay for.
Cheaper garland may be more affordable, but it may not be as realistic looking
or long-lasting as a higher-end option. Take some time to read reviews and
compare prices to find a garland that fits your budget and your style.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
You'll also want to be aware of what's driving the cost - are you paying for a
pre-lit garland, when you can buy a cheaper garland instead and embellish it
with your own Christmas lights? Also take into account shipping costs.
Shipping a big, bulky box of garland can be pricy so look out for sites that
offer free shipping.<br /><br />
<h2 id="4" style="text-align: left;">Where To Buy Artificial Garlands</h2>
If you're looking for a hassle-free way to add some festive cheer to your
space, faux garland might be the perfect option for you. But where can you
find the best faux holiday garland? Let's explore some options.<br /><br />
<h3 id="5" style="text-align: left;">Online Stores</h3>
Online stores are a great place to start your search for faux holiday garland
and artificial holiday décor. Popular retailers like Amazon, Wayfair, and Etsy

<h3 id="6" style="text-align: left;"><b>Local Stores</b></h3>
<br />If you prefer to shop in person, big box stores like Home Depot and
Michaels also offer a selection of faux holiday garland. These stores often
have displays set up so you can see and touch the garland before you make a
purchase, which can be helpful in determining the quality and style that will
work best for your space.

<i>Tip: If you find a product is sold out in-store, check online as there
might be inventory!</i>

And don't forget to check out smaller home decor stores in your neighbourhood.
They often have a well-curated selection and exceptional customer service.

<br /><br /><br />No matter where you decide to purchase faux holiday garland,
remember to have fun with it! Mixing and matching different styles and
textures can create a unique and festive look that reflects your personal
style and adds some holiday cheer to your home.<br /><br />
<h3 id="7" style="text-align: left;">How to Store Garlands</h3>
<br />If you're not quite ready to deck the halls, you'll want to store your
artificial garland for the time being. However, properly storing faux holiday
garland can be a challenge. Improper storage can lead to tangling, damage, and
a shorter lifespan for your garland. But don't worry, with a few simple tips
and tricks, you can ensure your garland stays in pristine condition year after
year.
</div>
<div>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">Choose the right container</h4>
It's important to store your garland in a cool, dry place. This will prevent
any moisture from damaging the material and keep the colors from fading.
Consider these options:
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>
A good option is to use a
<b><a href="https://rstyle.me/+JZXXUkxY1nLWBrovCDvPwA" target="_blank">plastic container with a lid</a></b>
to keep dust and pests out. Be sure to wrap your garland loosely around
your arm, then gently place it inside the container. This will help
prevent any tangling and damage while in storage.
</li>
<li>
You can also store your garland in a <b>cardboard box</b>. I find that
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+m_MOca84AAFBCBYbFUfzFw" target="_blank">cube shaped moving boxes</a>
work exceptionally well for this task. I use these boxes to store my
artificial Christmas wreaths and garlands together. Place wreaths on the
bottom, and then wind the faux evergreen garland into a circle shape and
stack it on top.
</li>
<li>
Another great option for storing your garland is to use a
<b>hanger</b>. Simply drape your garland over a hanger, cover it with a
garbage bag, and place it in a closet or storage room. This method helps
to maintain the shape of the garland while also keeping it off the ground
to avoid any potential damage.
</li>
<li>
If you're short on space, a great option for storing your garland is to
use a
<b><a href="https://amzn.to/3taDonF" target="_blank">jumbo size vacuum seal bag</a></b>. This will compress the garland, making it easier to store in a small
space. Just be sure to fluff the garland back to its original shape once
you take it out of the bag.<br /><br />
</li>
</ul>

</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
So, have I convinced you to shop for your holiday garland today? Buying
early means you have more time to find high-quality garland that will last for
years to come and looks just like the real thing. Plus, you get to avoid the
stress of a last-minute purchase.
</div>
<div class="content_hint"></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
When making your purchase, be sure to consider factors such as materials,
fullness, and storage options. Finally, remember that the holiday season is
about enjoying time with loved ones, not stressing over decorations. By
purchasing your artificial garland early, you can kick back and relax knowing
that you've got one less thing to worry about this year!

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Long-Lasting Pumpkin Tips</h2></div><div>Before I dive into the different methods, let's talk about the
fundamental steps to make your pumpkins last. Follow these simple steps for
the best chance of extending the life of your pumpkin.<br /><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">The Pumpkin Preservation Basics</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">1. Choose the Right Pumpkin</h4>
Your pumpkin's journey to a long life starts at the grocery store or local
pumpkin patch. You'll have the best chance of finding store-bought pumpkins in
late September to early October.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Look for healthy pumpkins with firm stems and no soft spots. Select a pumpkin
that is even in colour and has no visible gouges or open bites. A healthy
pumpkin is more likely to stay fresh longer.<br /><br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">2. Keep it Clean</h4>
The exterior of your pumpkin is its first defense against decay. Before
applying any preservation method, clean the surface of the pumpkin. You can
take the whole pumpkin and wash it with the hose or in the sink. This removes
dirt and potential contaminants.<br /><br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">3. Preserve the Carved Areas</h4>
If you plan to carve your pumpkin, remember that exposed carved edges are more
susceptible to rot. To preserve these areas, follow the tips below and
consider using a pumpkin preserve spray.<br /><br />Now that we've covered the
basics, let's explore the different ways to make your pumpkins last and I'll
show you the method I use.<br /><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div> </div>
<div> <h3 style="text-align: left;">3. Vinegar or Bleach Spray</h3>
<b>What You'll Need:</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>1 part white vinegar, or 1 part bleach</li>
<li>10 parts water</li>
<li>Clean spray bottle</li></ul><b>Method:<br /></b><br />Mix the vinegar or bleach and water in a clean
spray bottle. Spray the solution on the exterior of the pumpkin. Be sure to do
this on the pavement if you're using a bleach spray - you don't want to
discolour your outdoor decor! This method helps deter pests, mold, and has
anti-fungal properties. Repeat spraying every few days throughout the
season.<br /><br /></div>
<div> <h3 style="text-align: left;">4. Petroleum Jelly Seal</h3>
<b>What You'll Need:</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Petroleum jelly</li></ul><b>Method:<br /></b><br />Rub petroleum jelly on the carved areas of the
pumpkin. This thin layer acts as a barrier against moisture and helps preserve
your pumpkin's carved edges.<br /><br /></div>
<div> <h3 style="text-align: left;">5. Refrigerate Your Pumpkin</h3>
<b>What You'll Need:</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Plastic bag</li></ul><b>Method:<br /></b><br />Yes, you can refrigerate your uncarved or
carved pumpkin! Wrap it tightly in a plastic bag and store it in the fridge.
This method is particularly useful if you're in a warmer climate and want to
keep your pumpkin fresh for an extended period. Store your pumpkin during the
day when it gets too hot and display it outside at night.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">The Method I Use</h3>
Any of these preservation methods will work to extend your pumpkin's life. The
one I've found very effective is a Bleach Solution Soak, followed by a Bleach
Spray applied every few days. Using these two methods ensures that your
Halloween pumpkin retains its moisture and fends off decay.</div><div><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Additional Tips for Long-Lasting Pumpkins</h3>
Now that you know the best methods for preserving your pumpkins, here are some
additional tips to ensure they last throughout the season:<br /><br />
</div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>
<i><b>Keep Your Pumpkins Dry:</b> </i>Moisture is your pumpkin's enemy. Store
them in a dry place away from rain, dew, or any source of water.
</li>
<li>
<i><b>Avoid Direct Sunlight:</b> </i>While pumpkins love the sun, prolonged
exposure to hot sun can cause them to wilt and soften. Place them in a
spot with partial sunlight.
</li>
<li>
<b><i>Check for Rot:</i> </b>Regularly inspect your pumpkins for any soft spots
or signs of decay. If you spot any, remove them immediately to prevent
further spread.
</li>
<li>
<i><b>Use Real Candles Sparingly:</b></i> If you're using real candles in your
jack-o'-lanterns, consider LED candles as an alternative. Real candles can
generate heat, which may speed up the rotting process.
</li>
<li>
<i><b>Fruit Fly Prevention:</b> </i>To keep fruit flies away, create a fruit fly
trap with a small bowl of vinegar and a few drops of dish soap. Place it
near your pumpkins to lure the pests away.
</li>
<li>
<i><b>Harvest Pumpkin Seeds:</b></i> Don't forget to save those pumpkin seeds!
Roasted pumpkin seeds are not only delicious but also a fun snack to make
during the fall.
</li>
<li>
<i><b>Deter Animals: </b></i>Squirrels, chipmunks, and other outdoor animals may
be tempted to take a bite out of your perfect pumpkin. Deter their
tastebuds with unappealing tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper or a few drops of
peppermint oil rubbed on the pumpkin's exterior.
</li>
</ol>

where they begin to paint their identity. So, if you're a mom looking to
help transform your teenage girl's bedroom into the perfect place for her,

this small space into her ultimate teen girl bedroom. Creating a bedroom we both
like required compromise - I had a say on the furniture and layout, and she
picked out the trending TikTok decor ideas to incorporate in her room!
<br /><br />In this comprehensive post, we'll explore 12 of the best teenage
girl bedroom ideas that cater to your budget, creativity, and her ever-evolving
tastes. From incorporating bold colors to maximizing small rooms, creating a
cozy haven to adding a pop of vibrant personality, I've got you covered.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
1. Colorful Haven: Expressing Personality Through Hues
</h3>
<br />The right color scheme can work wonders in capturing your teen's
personality and making the room feel uniquely hers. Encourage your daughter to
choose colors that reflect her style, whether it's vibrant neons or serene
pastels. Incorporating these shades into the room's decor, wall art, and even
throw pillows can bring her vision to life, creating a vibrant and personalized
teenage girl bedroom. <br /><br />My daughter Chloe has always been a fan of
white walls. Her <a href="https://www.ramblingrenovators.ca/2021/04/tween-girl-room-makeover.html" target="_blank">previous bedroom with blue wallpaper was a dreamy, coastalsanctuary</a> - but left her feeling dark and dreary. This teen room makes the most
of the natural light, with cool off-white walls and light furniture.<br /><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
2. Space-Saving Solutions: Maximizing Small Spaces
</h3>
<div><br /></div>
When dealing with a small bedroom, it's essential to find space-saving solutions
that work without sacrificing style. Consider a bunk bed or loft bed to create
extra room underneath for storage or a cozy study nook. They are a great
way to make the most of limited space while still providing your teen with a
functional and stylish bedroom.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBYmEOdMISSGh4HW6CnbsYgJd0gQIMTXKea4GcEJ4ZVvgekj4l666pW1KjXJyZ5964iMyRTpNVLJNlnlBwwhdxv2KkROd_CA0snK2JNygLYdYqPHhC_nDDSSEO8xvM3e6wqERXVx4sDJd19zS8S-b47JDc8FQq5d8mhYcn6gl3lbF6UJ05N51i_D_TEOY/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-09.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom side table" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBYmEOdMISSGh4HW6CnbsYgJd0gQIMTXKea4GcEJ4ZVvgekj4l666pW1KjXJyZ5964iMyRTpNVLJNlnlBwwhdxv2KkROd_CA0snK2JNygLYdYqPHhC_nDDSSEO8xvM3e6wqERXVx4sDJd19zS8S-b47JDc8FQq5d8mhYcn6gl3lbF6UJ05N51i_D_TEOY/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-09.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><br />You can also incorporate stylish
storage solutions. A storage bench at the end of the bed provides a place to lay
down tomorrow's outfit, store extra blankets and pillows. And don't forget about
under bed storage. With a platform bed, there's room underneath to store
off-season clothing in vacuum storage bags - or hide a journal from mom's prying
eyes ;)</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU6wPLyKSUfjQXDnma53MWroyzPz1m-G-3jssXnyke5u3rh3MxDJfp87-BsBBE4E9YBuT85Z95onpf9AX43XKT2XrDns4w_gj8045aV8V3q_xPjt9_nUNZdHqEfBI-KdowxpFYECu4fSe3mLmXImfEW2odpz6J20Qa3wLdqpfkJxfE-NDhC2S_ZR0zojc/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-07.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom storage bench" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU6wPLyKSUfjQXDnma53MWroyzPz1m-G-3jssXnyke5u3rh3MxDJfp87-BsBBE4E9YBuT85Z95onpf9AX43XKT2XrDns4w_gj8045aV8V3q_xPjt9_nUNZdHqEfBI-KdowxpFYECu4fSe3mLmXImfEW2odpz6J20Qa3wLdqpfkJxfE-NDhC2S_ZR0zojc/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-07.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

3. Personalized Gallery Wall: A Focal Point for Memories
</h3>
Transform a blank wall into a captivating focal point by creating a personalized
gallery wall. Let your teenage daughter curate her gallery with cherished
artwork and photos. The gallery wall not only adds aesthetic value to her room
but also tells her unique story, making it the heart of her teenage girl
bedroom.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikuhbww6N9whfbqG8biybf26f6Tx2MYqyChK7V6b_KB3iUSTjqQplFfBWBhOBSXlcOMTXmkH1848nroSMSkvB4q47baNfZvCfPVN2TU3XL9f-AihKduC0FFc8iOHjvHZ_BLRGs4ezUHzDEqSkbvlzMfd454gfEwMqHhtzTcTciNEAIHTB4iIIbhxu3Xgs/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-14.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom bookshelf" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikuhbww6N9whfbqG8biybf26f6Tx2MYqyChK7V6b_KB3iUSTjqQplFfBWBhOBSXlcOMTXmkH1848nroSMSkvB4q47baNfZvCfPVN2TU3XL9f-AihKduC0FFc8iOHjvHZ_BLRGs4ezUHzDEqSkbvlzMfd454gfEwMqHhtzTcTciNEAIHTB4iIIbhxu3Xgs/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-14.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><br />For a cost effective solution, have your teen gather images
from Instagram or Pinterest that they like, resize them in different sizes using
<a href="https://www.canva.com/" target="_blank">Canva</a> (we used 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10), and print them out on card stock. Affix them
using <a href="https://amzn.to/3PLajrH" target="_blank">poster putty</a> which won't leave unsightly residue when its time to remove
them.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxoMw1WyN3GCo5svLEw1UNG3RDvTNwVMo0kbni9LIzp53-B6Emg3Ui45ndbZJutu966bYkIzckkzMQ4ZGxymXTt4gEfp7wzjUg12WqH8VG1eDnp4yeE3AVcF1OechCMVd2eukfrzigHO9MfuzaOnmm9cf3Zd6gqPfUcZAjGXUK35tLq0nQjPT1_qo_tp0/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-08.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom computer desk" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxoMw1WyN3GCo5svLEw1UNG3RDvTNwVMo0kbni9LIzp53-B6Emg3Ui45ndbZJutu966bYkIzckkzMQ4ZGxymXTt4gEfp7wzjUg12WqH8VG1eDnp4yeE3AVcF1OechCMVd2eukfrzigHO9MfuzaOnmm9cf3Zd6gqPfUcZAjGXUK35tLq0nQjPT1_qo_tp0/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-08.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
4. Enchanting String Lights: Adding Whimsical Ambiance
</h3>
String lights are the easiest way to introduce a whimsical and cozy ambiance to
your teen's room. Hang them creatively around her room, such as around her bed
frame or canopy, for a magical touch that's perfect for relaxation or study
time. I like <a href="https://amzn.to/44XZ188" target="_blank">small LED fairy lights</a> and these <a href="https://amzn.to/46iRh1v" target="_blank">remote controlled colour-changing lights</a> are also cute.</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
5. Functional Study Area: Encouraging Focus and Productivity
</h3>
A functional study area is a must in a teenage girl's room. Create a designated
space with a comfortable chair and desk where she can study and work on her

encourages good study habits. Ensure the desk has lots of storage space for all
the writing and craft supplies she'll need for school.<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpYhlW5HUPTUJJuOBgj6sVmCZNd3EKupHeSO7rMcj7mdWwIOMNP8w0Qwg5CgN_eNKRwmMmvuP68STMpQ94_HY31kVHKG2xs6n-GoY2S0Fas2qmbfuDcon5QBGzod2ClFdxnJTC68tacaqBvQH7Ntof3q9UeEifnNR14s5xpswAvUOsgHegYF9TW1iB7lU/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-16.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom computer desk" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpYhlW5HUPTUJJuOBgj6sVmCZNd3EKupHeSO7rMcj7mdWwIOMNP8w0Qwg5CgN_eNKRwmMmvuP68STMpQ94_HY31kVHKG2xs6n-GoY2S0Fas2qmbfuDcon5QBGzod2ClFdxnJTC68tacaqBvQH7Ntof3q9UeEifnNR14s5xpswAvUOsgHegYF9TW1iB7lU/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-16.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

6. Bringing the Outdoors In: A Fresh and Relaxing Touch
</h3>
Introduce natural elements into her room, such as faux vines, indoor plants or
botanical prints. Nature-inspired decor adds a fresh and relaxing touch, making
her room a pleasant and calming space. Affixed to the ceiling, faux vines can
add a dynamic, organic element (plus, they're fun to look at when lying on the
bed!)</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFfoLCyRVpLnPApILBjr66cFa7KvJwbhX622MvSETVm_iqPsCw4ViZ94OT7wBrGo1AxAslgODh9o1JcJRG2uQOC-pFSZb5zAwMjVF3VOW2Ko_cHbAgiiiPvIWjCpb0vVUz-ulXHzLwTSnhVGV1iKIJwWts-YjgXby04_WDVknELmNr07bRRz2f529mEcQ/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-06.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom hanging vines fairy lights" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFfoLCyRVpLnPApILBjr66cFa7KvJwbhX622MvSETVm_iqPsCw4ViZ94OT7wBrGo1AxAslgODh9o1JcJRG2uQOC-pFSZb5zAwMjVF3VOW2Ko_cHbAgiiiPvIWjCpb0vVUz-ulXHzLwTSnhVGV1iKIJwWts-YjgXby04_WDVknELmNr07bRRz2f529mEcQ/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-06.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">7. Extra Storage: Keeping Things Organized</h3>
<br />To maintain an organized space, incorporate extra storage solutions like
hooks, a side table, or a spacious wardrobe. These additions not only keep her
belongings tidy but also provide easy access to her essentials. Teenage girls
also love having room for display so provide them different surfaces to do
so.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3teOa28NAijqogIx98egCsLxAwZfVemt_ykon1xd6wxwrFqtrjHg32iVC1dOaZBqOyskQN5Rj3q7mlcamAOYwbH8gIa-Rzf-LAzOnTNWvBnagPh5XxutOjIXTNPyqkCy1qEktCgxc30aCntSDFjuyKSIl8PpbitgFnY7dLSob6jLCugR8wyilB2643R4/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl room with poster gallery wall ariana grande" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3teOa28NAijqogIx98egCsLxAwZfVemt_ykon1xd6wxwrFqtrjHg32iVC1dOaZBqOyskQN5Rj3q7mlcamAOYwbH8gIa-Rzf-LAzOnTNWvBnagPh5XxutOjIXTNPyqkCy1qEktCgxc30aCntSDFjuyKSIl8PpbitgFnY7dLSob6jLCugR8wyilB2643R4/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-02.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtMLH9hi-_f6dNFpFJHGKekkOIcQkf-CynS_q-VpWKksARcX-eKwN0eUvfaBDeEHDvRH00EOMvnEsTNvI3fKiZn5VuMjkhibe1ezXxwAdzIwYNw2SoacXKawUyYirNA27hZyZ45_06AKfJifNqHxrdwJLyFcKORgYfpuTwo3mNjx2xM03B-3eV3SX9atQ/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-03.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom computer desk" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtMLH9hi-_f6dNFpFJHGKekkOIcQkf-CynS_q-VpWKksARcX-eKwN0eUvfaBDeEHDvRH00EOMvnEsTNvI3fKiZn5VuMjkhibe1ezXxwAdzIwYNw2SoacXKawUyYirNA27hZyZ45_06AKfJifNqHxrdwJLyFcKORgYfpuTwo3mNjx2xM03B-3eV3SX9atQ/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-03.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVVS1MEWFNc_aql6fm-HNtpKm9EgLDZVVuevQSQkjtnjWPW8TnTd8mzryqy94U-SaMWnjz42JOtk1CMQMw3ouwpfppQRYBhxeVdZZI3f75UTcswl-JNRzTn_SYpRQHYJw57NGpsG_oZtdYGlgSDWX7k8Nlwpyu1dCwOMYBF6so5to7TPyUdUGnTwJxgp8/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-11.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom rock collection" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVVS1MEWFNc_aql6fm-HNtpKm9EgLDZVVuevQSQkjtnjWPW8TnTd8mzryqy94U-SaMWnjz42JOtk1CMQMw3ouwpfppQRYBhxeVdZZI3f75UTcswl-JNRzTn_SYpRQHYJw57NGpsG_oZtdYGlgSDWX7k8Nlwpyu1dCwOMYBF6so5to7TPyUdUGnTwJxgp8/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-11.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">8. Musical Instruments: Embracing Hobbies</h3>
<br />If your teenage girl is musically inclined, consider incorporating her
musical instruments into the room's decor. Displaying guitars or other
instruments can make her room a reflection of her passions. Keeping instruments
handy also encourages practice or playing, when the mood hits.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6scuuGgQMaKL9faQGoybnjXlsLr_8NhuZisTPqjfesL7KKMOt82GZI4ZbCK_4-4Uf2r32YHZKmQgpFZc_2WiOYc-VLeVnTFb2awWJfQ5Hp-NluEInzcoQFhNd-F4a_rTgrg_vUuWaQT0Wcaq_VclrSiVdi1_GYiPIiohs1W30D8qBU5KbbLKDXaSGtIY/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-15.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom hobbies" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6scuuGgQMaKL9faQGoybnjXlsLr_8NhuZisTPqjfesL7KKMOt82GZI4ZbCK_4-4Uf2r32YHZKmQgpFZc_2WiOYc-VLeVnTFb2awWJfQ5Hp-NluEInzcoQFhNd-F4a_rTgrg_vUuWaQT0Wcaq_VclrSiVdi1_GYiPIiohs1W30D8qBU5KbbLKDXaSGtIY/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-15.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><br /><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">9. A Pin Board: Cherishing Memories</h3>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
10. Open Space Design: Creating a Spacious Feel
</h3>
<br />In smaller rooms, open space design is essential to prevent the room from
feeling cramped. Keep the room design functional yet sparse to ensure there's
enough room for sleep, study, and play. Use furniture that doesn't overwhelm the
space and keep pathways clear for easy movement.<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaTKUAmQkVjS7jmbgPuU9tPuabd1I0FH1HGjWND6uuo9kSocIb86ZQVb-fI7snaLJKZaIw2K6n-cbWQRsufU27zNbTUVsfC0LbLM5oka_wH8I-APM_9uro-fOy0h6M0elaBADfNbLwM7sX0qcGZTl-JERQn4w_rn42lOHOSDAs4_M5dqtxmQE1HlytKs/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-04.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom ikea closet organizer" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDaTKUAmQkVjS7jmbgPuU9tPuabd1I0FH1HGjWND6uuo9kSocIb86ZQVb-fI7snaLJKZaIw2K6n-cbWQRsufU27zNbTUVsfC0LbLM5oka_wH8I-APM_9uro-fOy0h6M0elaBADfNbLwM7sX0qcGZTl-JERQn4w_rn42lOHOSDAs4_M5dqtxmQE1HlytKs/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-04.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">For maximum efficiency, create a built-in closet organizer that can grow with her. A mix of hanging rods and closed drawers suit ample needs with room enough for a mirror and toiletries. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div><h3 style="text-align: left;">
11. Add a Cozy Bed: Creating a Comfortable Oasis
</h3>
Invest in a cozy bed that provides a comfortable night's sleep and serves as a
relaxing oasis. Our mattress of choice is <a href="https://bit.ly/3oSyKJp" target="_blank">the Endy mattress</a>. It's just the
right mix of soft and supportive and keeps your teen from getting too hot.
Layer it with soft blankets and throw pillows (and a childhood stuffie or
two!) to enhance the comfort and style of her room.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMFCpRH2Ojkc4LQB_9ZATV_guvA7VpV9eyqhmDWNyckBYdi7wk7KjT262vxgB0098z79FTYlHK09vsRKSaxnXMDHjJCIhbRP3EQVldp3ACH7mxVPasLB4LtYTmT6_fk8g7kmNGoWestCeVD78iW3QBhhe77_JPZXYpq0lFsv9vAnb7MdCm8puvK_SuNkQ/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom stuffies" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMFCpRH2Ojkc4LQB_9ZATV_guvA7VpV9eyqhmDWNyckBYdi7wk7KjT262vxgB0098z79FTYlHK09vsRKSaxnXMDHjJCIhbRP3EQVldp3ACH7mxVPasLB4LtYTmT6_fk8g7kmNGoWestCeVD78iW3QBhhe77_JPZXYpq0lFsv9vAnb7MdCm8puvK_SuNkQ/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-10.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
12. Affordable Decor: Making Creative Choices
</h3>
<br />When decorating on a budget, seek out affordable decor options like
thrifted finds, DIY projects, or budget-friendly art. Encourage her to choose
or create art that resonates with her. You can display the art on the wall or
prop it up on a floating shelf or bookshelf. With a little creativity, you can
create a stylish room without breaking the bank.</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKqVLOECDciOEkvshseZ69xbXuh6klRdmokZ2pZf6PIfYGfrQVZTzJCJBNsMwrPJi9Zu8jF8nSU_mDW6d44U4Fw6PB8zrVbulWClN7cURrTzX6rz91qI3h7FC6b5aK7kSmMJUS_bnOeWu1JhfTW3dNRQI2xPmcpaOSwEPeQ54k0F63lZaTzwMEXG33Xv4/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-12.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teen girl bedroom dressing mirror" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKqVLOECDciOEkvshseZ69xbXuh6klRdmokZ2pZf6PIfYGfrQVZTzJCJBNsMwrPJi9Zu8jF8nSU_mDW6d44U4Fw6PB8zrVbulWClN7cURrTzX6rz91qI3h7FC6b5aK7kSmMJUS_bnOeWu1JhfTW3dNRQI2xPmcpaOSwEPeQ54k0F63lZaTzwMEXG33Xv4/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-12.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi3OM-ZBm0bCfLInWVctp68Lf_jtuxuhxOdzZWZUuAxHZr-pAVm031sR_VT9sdHs9ipGG9t011gYewCPR8ecH3TJXt-Mu-kgZ4GDYbkyGPaLMTLM2L0jxWmfyffEWHwVMCLmFC472zC5YJtA1PEQvoRLGMPS5df6tSdTOSmqECE2Zq4Rj5fSGmHs1nrjU/s933/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-17.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="teenage girl bedroom with hanging vines and double bed" border="0" data-original-height="933" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi3OM-ZBm0bCfLInWVctp68Lf_jtuxuhxOdzZWZUuAxHZr-pAVm031sR_VT9sdHs9ipGG9t011gYewCPR8ecH3TJXt-Mu-kgZ4GDYbkyGPaLMTLM2L0jxWmfyffEWHwVMCLmFC472zC5YJtA1PEQvoRLGMPS5df6tSdTOSmqECE2Zq4Rj5fSGmHs1nrjU/s16000/teenage-girl-bedroom-ideas-17.jpg" title="teenage girl bedroom, teen girl room ideas, teen girls room decor" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Transforming your teenager's room into a space that
reflects her personality and fosters creativity can be an enjoyable and
rewarding journey. Encourage her to be part of the design process, allowing
her to infuse her own style and preferences into every element of the
room.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
And just like when you were a teen, remember, it's not just about the decor;
it's about the memories she'll create and the sense of belonging she'll feel
in her very own sanctuary. Happy decorating!<br /><br />

kids & babies styles and 30% off everything else. It might be a good
time to finally ditch those slim fit jeans and
<a href="https://howl.me/ckAnACtKcbs" target="_blank">get a straight fit</a
> (and apparently, acid wash is on it's way back!)

And just like that, it suddenly feels like fall. I've been wearing long pants
and light jackets the last few days which means accepting that the fall
weather is finally here. I can't say that I mind. I love layering up with
sweaters over shirts and trading sandals for chunky shoes and short boots. Do
you feel the same?
</div>
<br />Fall fashion gives you a chance to be a bit more daring with your
wardrobe. Summer is all about easy dressing, but fall? It pushes you to put on
some colour, add accessories, and try out a new style. Whether you're dressing
for work or the weekend, I've got you covered.
<div><br /></div>

Here's fall outfit ideas that will have you looking cozy yet chic. <b>Click on

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Fall Weekend Outfits</h3>
<div>
Fall weekends just hit different, don't they? 'Tis the season for apple
picking, hitting the pumpkin patch, or just going for a long walk to hear the
crunch of leaves beneath your feet.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
The best weekend outfits start with a great coat. I love the classic <a href="https://rstyle.me/+2coINThoLjgNEdQH7Mxygg" target="_blank">barn jacket</a> for any sort of outdoor adventures. Layer it over a <a href="https://rstyle.me/+5X2e3rumK0VKPL6grv01Pw" target="_blank">textured sweater</a>, a
<a href="https://rstyle.me/+T_tx8fpwyZUEhG7dpbCG7w" target="_blank">great pair of jeans</a>, and <a href="https://rstyle.me/+hnCd1GgNdzBD5aEvRacAWg" target="_blank">go-with-anything sneakers</a> and you'll be ready for
whatever the weekend brings.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Fall Work Outfits</h3>
<div>
Work environments have gotten more casual but it's still nice to look pulled
together (and you can leave the casual wear for WFH days). Opt for pieces
that have interesting details, like the <a href="https://rstyle.me/+MWG5yiR4TImBF2URttC_uw" target="_blank">ruffle neck blouse</a>, <a href="https://rstyle.me/+LQxUU3f5BXVFe2HGuMi9Eg" target="_blank">fitted blazer</a>,
or <a href="https://rstyle.me/+jZvkOEWKTmeNdpQWoXAiDw" target="_blank">wrap sweater</a> in an earthy, mossy green.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
Accessories can bring extra panache. A <a href="https://rstyle.me/+9MJGkJilJVtcSAnrB6gWjg" target="_blank">shearling purse</a> or <a href="https://rstyle.me/+rxiKjP_x19577UIV7Cj6jw" target="_blank">tortoiseshell earrings</a> can take your look from work day to after dinner drinks. But this
fall, pay special attention to your footwear. The chunky heel is back and
you have your choice, from <a href="https://rstyle.me/+px9pnRqiG96qO2L0ICT2cw" target="_blank">loafers</a> to <a href="https://rstyle.me/+w8f56FDF57eDKpIRJYKmXg" target="_blank">Mary Janes</a>.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Fall Party Outfits</h3>
<div>
The period from September to January always seems to fly by. Events are back
and before you know it, you'll be prepping for Thanksgiving, hitting the
office social, and planning for holiday parties.
</div>
<div><br /></div>
