The countdown to Christmas is officially on—less than 2 weeks to go! Every year, I love bringing a bit of history and magic into my home by hanging fresh mistletoe in the entryway. Did you know that the tradition of mistletoe dates back centuries, believed by the Druids to bring peace and harmony? 💚 Today, it’s all about those stolen kisses and festive cheer under its branches! Speaking of festive, I’ve been loving my sugared cranberry recipe! These little gems are so versatile—perfect for topping desserts or adding a pop of color and sparkle to holiday cocktails. 🍸🍰 They add just the right amount of sweetness and crunch to any festive gathering. And, how adorable are my whimsical hand-painted ceramic gingerbread houses? 🏠✨ Each one is a tea light candle holder, adding a cozy glow to any space and filling my home with that nostalgic holiday warmth. So many of you were asking questions about them so I plan to share more soon! Let the holiday magic begin! #AcquiredByAndrea #MistletoeTradition #SugaredCranberries #ChristmasCountdown #HandmadeHoliday #CozyChristmas #HolidayCheer #entryway #entrywaydecor #entrywaydesign #entrywaytable #foyer #foyerdecor #diningroom #diningroomtable #holidaydecor #chinoiserie #chinoiseriechic #chinoiseriechicstyle #grandmillennial #grandmillennialdecor #buffalony #holidaydecorating #christmasdecor #antiques #antiquefurniture #antiquerugs #interiordecor #interiordecorating #homedecor

The Christmas season is officially in full swing!🎄 Our primary Christmas tree is always especially meaningful, filled with sentimental, handmade ornaments my sons have created over the years. Each ornament carries a memory that makes the tree extra special, bringing a personal touch to our holiday decor. I’m so excited to share our eight trees we’ve decorated throughout the house this year—more to come soon! Yes, 8! Beyond the tree, I’ve added little festive touches everywhere, from mistletoe hanging in the entryway to our mantel, which is decked out with garlands, candles, and cozy winter accents. And for those entertaining this holiday season, I’ve also whipped up a fun and festive hummus wreath that’s perfect for a quick holiday appetizer. Swipe to see it all, including our Christmas Eve Dinner Menu from last year! I have all the recipes saved!🎅🏼🎁 #ChristmasAtHome #HandmadeMemories #HolidayDecor #FestiveEntertaining #AcquiredByAndrea #livingroom #livingroomdesign #livingroomdecor #homedecor #homedecorating #interiordesigner #interiordesign #chinoiserie #chinoiseriechic #chinoiseriechicstyle #grandmillennial #grabdmillenialdecor #blueandwhite #christmastree #christmasdecor #christmasappetizers #easyappetizers #holidayentertaining #buffalony #antiques #antiquefurniture #antiquerugs #wreathmaking #marthastewart #entertainingathome

A little of this and that from my home to yours! From dining room decor, to my tea light candle Christmas village, from a fireside dinner to a delicious recipe, from a cute Christmas craft to some holiday sales! A cozy winter weekend at home, filled with warmth and the best holiday comforts. I spent the day on Sunday perfecting a delicious beef Bourguignon recipe, (swipe for recipe) and the house was filled with the most incredible aroma. I also made fresh, homemade sourdough bread ~ so good! Dave and I enjoyed it all fireside in the den while talking and listening to Christmas music. We toasted to a delicious meal and all the holiday festivities upon us this season with a perfect French wine. The table was set with beautiful linens from @sliving.tr. Head to my stories for more of her holiday linens. Make sure to save your wine corks! I made these easy and cute Christmas tree corks to be used as name cards for your tablesetting! I made them using fresh pine and ribbon. Swipe to see! Dave and I also attended a Festival of Trees Gala to benefit our local children’s hospital.

Cyber Day & Paperwhites!! I started my paper white flower bulbs! I love adding them in various vessels and watching them grow throughout the holiday season! Make sure to add a shot of vodka with water to stunt the growth of the stem, otherwise they’ll droop and you’ll have to tie a bow around the stems like I did to keep them standing straight! This was a picture from a previous season! I’ll add more information on caring for and planting Paperwhites on my stories! BUT FIRST—— It’s finally here—Cyber Day is in full swing, and the deals are too good to miss!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve from my home to yours! Thanksgiving Eve at home with family is all about creating those warm, welcoming moments that make the holiday so special. This year, I set the table with an elegant touch @fourhoneybeescottage —soft candlelight, seasonal florals from @flowersbynature, and a cozy atmosphere to bring everyone together. From the stunning blooms in the entryway to the thoughtful details on the dinner table, I love infusing each corner with warmth and beauty. Our menu is filled with family favorites like turkey, maple-glazed ham, mashed potatoes, sausage mushroom stuffing, creamed spinach, and cranberry compote, all carefully crafted to celebrate the holiday season! Swipe to see our full dinner menu this year! As many of you know, we are celebrating our official Thanksgiving dinner at our new house in FL! So grateful to have a full house again with my 3 sons! The boys and Dave will all be helping prepare our feast! If you’re celebrating Thanksgiving, I wish you and yours a blessed day! I am so grateful for all of you!

Years ago during the holiday season, I visited The Greenbrier Resort and was in awe of their stunning holiday decor, especially the beautifully adorned Christmas trees with poinsettias crowning the base. The vibrant reds, pinks, whites, and lush greens created a magical, elegant ambiance that I couldn’t wait to bring home. Ever since our visit, I’ve started that tradition in my own home, and it’s added an extra layer of whimsy and sophistication to our holiday decor and Christmas tree. There’s something so special about the timeless beauty of poinsettias—they truly elevate the spirit of the season! If you’re looking to add an extra special touch to your tree this year, poinsettias will do just that! Swipe to see a few photos that I took while visiting @the_greenbrier ~ so inspiring! Can’t wait to see my sons at Thanksgiving! I’ve been busy prepping and preparing!

✨ Thanksgiving Preparations Are Underway! ✨ I’m so excited to host this year’s Thanksgiving, and the preparations are already in full swing! From planning the menu to setting the table, I’m going all out to make this holiday gathering fun and memorable. Why? Because we are hosting Florida style! It will be small but mighty and the best part is my boys will be home! (They haven’t seen the new house yet!!!) Sharing a few photos from previous gatherings. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s happening behind the scenes: 🍗 The Menu: We’re keeping it traditional with herb-roasted turkey, honey-glazed ham, creamy mashed potatoes, sausage & mushroom stuffing, and of course, warm rolls. Sides like green beans almondine and a fresh autumn salad will add a seasonal touch. For dessert, I’m making classic pumpkin pie, pecan bars, and my chocolate covered strawberry turkey bites —so there’s something sweet for everyone! Head to my stories for the strawberry turkey bites! 🍷 Cocktail Prep: I’m kicking off the day with a festive Spiced Cranberry Moscow Mule. It’s the perfect mix of refreshing and holiday spice to get everyone in the spirit! 🍽️ The Tablescape: I’m keeping the decor simple yet elegant with a neutral linen tablecloth, candles, dried oranges, and mini pumpkins. Gold accents and natural greenery will add a bit of sophistication without overdoing it. And because it’s Florida style, some sea shells will be in the mix! Hosting whether it’s for 5 or 25 is all about creating a cozy and inviting space for loved ones to gather, enjoy good food, and make lasting memories. Recipes will be coming! #diningroom #diningroomdecor #diningroomdesign #diningroomtable #livingroom #livingroomdecor #antiques #antiquefurniture #antiquerugs #tablescapes #tablesetting #chinoiserie #chinoiseriechic #chinoiseriechicstyle #grandmillennial #grandmillennialdecor #homedecor #interiordesign #interiordecorating #buffalony #holidaydecor #thanksgivingrecipes #ThanksgivingPrep #HolidayHosting #GratefulGatherings #FallEntertaining #ThanksgivingMenu #CozyHomeVibes

✨ Grateful Hearts, Beautiful Tables ✨ This year’s Thanksgiving table is all about elegance and simplicity—because creating a warm, inviting space shouldn’t feel overwhelming! 🍂 I styled this tablescape with: • Soft, neutral linens to set a calming tone. • Gold-rimmed plates and flatware for a touch of sophistication. • A centerpiece of lush fall flowers, glowy candles, and pinecones with satin ribbons for a natural, cozy vibe. • A cute idea for place cards is adding mini white pumpkins and handwritten name cards tied with twine and rosemary for a personal touch. Whether you’re hosting a big gathering or an intimate dinner, a thoughtfully styled table can set the perfect mood for meaningful moments. I added a Thanksgiving Dinner menu that I’ve used in the past. Use and save these for inspiration. I will share all the recipes in the coming days. Swipe to see. I also added the cutest Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkeys!!! Super easy and festive to make. And lastly, I added a simple Cranberry Prosecco Spritzer! Counting my blessing AND counting the days until I see my boys ~ 6 days!!! #diningroom #diningroomdecor #diningroomdesign #diningroomtable #falldecor #homedecor #decorating #chinoiserie #chinoiseriechic #chinoiseriechicstyle #grandmillennial #grandmillennialdecor #antiques #antiquefurniture #antiquerugs #buffalony #entryway #entrywaydecor #thanksgivingrecipes #holidaydecor #holidaydecorating #interiordesign #interiordecor #cocktailrecipes #ThanksgivingTable #ElegantEntertaining #HolidayDecor #GatherAndGrateful #CozySeasonVibes #TablescapeInspiration
