It’s officially November 1, so you know what that means!?! It’s officially Christmas season on the blog! We won’t decorate our entire house until later this month but I LOVE kicking off the season with the annual Michaels Makers Dream Tree Challenge. This is my third year doing the challenge and it’s SO much fun. I’m definitely getting in the Christmas spirit over here and even buying and wrapping gifts. Eeek!

This year I did a Modern Black and White Christmas Tree. It’s full of clean black and white lines mixed with rustic touches. It makes our master bedroom soooooo cozy and festive!

Black and White Christmas Tree

A very unique take on Christmas with this modern black and white Christmas tree!

Decorating a White Pencil Tree

Every year they have different Christmas Decor Themes to shop from, they are SO cute this year and all so different. There is something for everyone! From trees to ornaments and holiday décor, Michaels has everything you need to MAKE this holiday your own! You can even shop over 100 Christmas Trees at Michaels.com.

A Full Christmas Scene

Every single thing in this display is from Michaels, even the adorable black and white napkins! I had so much fun going through each aisle and looking through all the goodies and beautiful details. There is SO much to choose from this year.

Brown packages tied up with string and free printable I have actually been on top of my Christmas presents this year, believe it or not I have already started shopping and all of these gifts under the tree have real presents for my kiddos! But shhhh don’t tell them that! I love these cute paper gift boxes. I am soon who believes in easy gift wrap. I love my package to look pretty, but I also like them simple and elegant. Just a simple ribbon and homemade tag. (PS. I’ll be sharing the free download for these soon!)

Black and White Christmas Gallery Wall

I have been searching for square black frames for this space for awhile, so this was the perfect addition to this corner! I created these modern black and white prints. I’ll be sharing these for download soon too! Taryn creates this Modern Black and White Christmas Tree display in her home using a tall white skinny tree with black and silver ornaments and wood!

For the tree trimmings, I added tons of different layers. I did three different ribbons, the black and white stripes, black fringe and then a DIY wood bead garland I made using wooden beads from Michaels. This took A LOT of beads! I also found this beautiful greenery there, it’s by far my favorite faux greenery I have ever used. I tucked a few of those branches inside for a little pop and organic look.

For the tree topper, I kept it simple and actually used a wood star decor piece. It sat perfectly on top!Taryn creates this Modern Black and White Christmas Tree display in her home using a tall white skinny tree with black and silver ornaments and wood!For me, a lot of the Christmas tree is the display around it. It’s not always about the presents underneath but the full display the way it makes you feel and inviting nature. Taryn creates this Modern Black and White Christmas Tree display in her home using a tall white skinny tree with black and silver ornaments and wood!

    So beautiful! I especially had my eye on the cake stand, but when I clicked the link, it looks like it’s no longer available. I guess I’ll just have to keep looking! Thank you for sharing your inspiration!

Have you thought about adding more smart home tech Have you thought about adding more smart home technology into your own home? #ad It's been something we have talked about a lot over the past year, and I am loving the new products we've recently added from @amazon and @ring to refresh our home! Check out this video to see how I use them in my everyday life and head to the blog to read more about each product and @alexa99 #askalexa #amazonhome #smarthome
Guess what?! Both our leather sofa and drum coffee Guess what?! Both our leather sofa and drum coffee table are back in stock! We love both of these pieces from @overstock (gifted), and they are used daily around here. I will say when it comes to leather couches, we all give this one a 10/10, it’s incredibly comfortable and a piece you will have fore a looooong time.

We’ve really enjoyed the past week and low key weekend, it’s definitely getting us all a little more excited for summer and being outside a lot more!

One of my top questions is about the console table One of my top questions is about the console table in our entry way, I got it from Arhaus about 6 years ago and haven’t seen it in stock since... BUT they have two other ones on sale right now that have similar looks to them. I also rounded up a few more that will give you the same look. I linked them to this post in the @liketoknow.it app and will share in stories as well!

It’s supposed to be in the 70’s in Seattle nex It’s supposed to be in the 70’s in Seattle next week which means major work on the backyard will be taking place! Things are moving right along. Our exterior started to get a new paint job this week (see stories) which will be finished next week, we will finish layer the paver pathways and installing the new turf next week as well! Next up, landscape and lighting. I love how this space looks already, and I can’t wait to show you even more of it. 🖤

We spend normally spend a good part of our day in here and it’s proven to be so functional and cozy. I’m so glad we put in the countertop/bar top for the kids. It’s been working out great.

I will be the first to admit meal planning is not I will be the first to admit meal planning is not my strong suit, especially when life is so crazy busy right now. I'm all about easy meals and the quicker the better. But with all of our family food sensitivities and allergies meals can be a little trickier. I recently discovered @greenchef and I am so excited because they actually offer meal delivery service that caters towards different dietary needs, ie. gluten free, paleo, keto, etc. I tried it out last week and was super impressed. The meals come with all of the ingredients, all food allergies correctly labeled and most of the ingredients pre-cut for you. I timed both meals and they truly only took me 30 minutes to make and the flavors were so good. Swipe to watch the video!
