I love the Holiday's! Decorating is so much FUN especially when I'm hosting events... I enjoy taking my time when decorating, I might style something and decide to change a week later. I love decorating early to accommodate for me switching things up a few times. This year things seemed to work pretty well. I only changed around a few items. I keep my Holiday colors traditional Red and Green so each year I can add to my decorations and I'm not breaking the bank to do it. This year one of my favorite new item was the Red pillows with Reindeer on them. I found these cute pillows at The Urban Coop. Hope you had a blast decorations your home too! … [Read more...]

The Urban Coop
I am completely loving The Urban Coop! I've been visiting this adorable barn house for quite some time now! It's secretly nettled in Downtown, West Linn. The Urban Coop is a home store specializing in vintage + modern farmhouse styled decoration.
