Since my discovery of the haven for design lovers, otherwise known as Instagram, I have been getting much of my design fix this way (and have been backing off on blogging a bit).....However, I still love to capture my design inspirations, adventures, projects, and such. So, after I realized that I failed to put together a blog post with Christmas 2015 photos, I decided to put this together to capture our holiday memories, projects, decorating, etc.

drying on the front porch in the midst of the holidays? |
