I showed you our red and turquoise Christmas tree in my Christmas house tour the other day. (To take that tour, here’s the link: Our Holiday Open House)
But since I’m joining in on a few Christmas tree parties in Blogland today, I thought I’d give you a closer look!
This year’s Christmas tree is really different than what I normally do. First of all, it took a lot of willpower, but I left 75% of my tree decorations in the bin this year!… {more…}
I included a picture of this year’s Christmas wreath in yesterday’s big honkin’ house tour post.
But, most of us like things a bit more bite-sized, so I thought I’d talk a little about it here.
This year’s wreath is really an example of using what you have on hand. My favorite part of seasonal decorating is mixing up all the things I own in completely different ways.
If you crave change like me, it could really get expensive to buy new seasonal items every year.… {more…}
Welcome to my 2011 holiday house tour, featured on Hooked on Houses’, “20 Very Merry Room Tours Decked Out for Christmas“!
So…is your home all ready for Christmas yet?
I wish I could say mine was, but it’s still a work-in-progress. My trip to New York set me back a little time-wise, and now I’m playing catch up. Some rooms are complete, others are half-done, and still others are holding all the boxes and bags filled with the random things which haven’t found a spot yet (or ever).… {more…}

My post title makes me sound so fancy, doesn’t it?!? I should mention Betsey Johnson and The Plaza every day!
Well, unfortunately, I’m not hanging out with Betsey or living at The Plaza; but I did get a chance to see her signature Eloise Tree last weekend in The Lobby of the famed hotel. 
And, of all the spectacular things we saw on our trip to NYC, I think it was one of my favorites.
We happened upon it, really. I had no idea idea there even was such a tree! If I had known, I can assure you that we would have made a special trip to see it. Eloise is one of my daughter’s favorite characters. And, I have to admit, I also LOVE her.… {more…}
NYC at Christmas; there’s nothing quite like it!
I’ve been to New York City a couple of times, and once before at this time of year, but this time was a little more special. That’s because I shared the experience with my 7 year-old daughter and 10-year old niece, along with my sister and some other girlfriends and their girlies. This time, we traded our Cosmos for Shirley Temples, lol.
If you have kids, I don’t have to tell you that there’s nothing quite like seeing the world through the wide eyes of a child. But when it’s Manhattan at Christmas-time..well, its nothing short of magical!… {more…}
I’m signing off for a few days for a little trip to somewhere called, oh, NYC…
with my little starlet and some other moms and daughters for some pre-Christmas fun like American Girl, The Rockettes, Broadway…and of course, some shopping!
So excited! See you in a few days!

One question I get asked a lot this time of year is how I decorated my Christmas mantel. When I tell them that it’s actually really easy, it seems they don’t always believe me! But, truly, it’s not really all that hard to create a traditional look with layers of full greenery and ribbon, if you follow a few tricks. So today, I’m going to share my easy and fail-proof formula for creating a pretty Christmas mantel that you’ll be proud of.… {more…}

Welcome to A Pop of Pretty, a Canadian home decorating blog that chronicles my love of home decor and pretty things. I'm out to prove (mostly to myself!) that a pretty home is still possible amid the circus of 3 young kids, including twin toddlers. {More...}
