Hey Friends! The Holidays are approaching fast, there is so much to do and so little time! Hosting during the holidays can be stressful, that’s why I wanted to share some of my favorite ways to transform your home in time for the holidays. For me, my main goal is to make everyone feel comfortable. I like to always have a Balsam Fir candle burning and tons of blankets and pillows! Below, I listed items that would be helpful to transform your house in time for the holidays. I hope you enjoy this post and have a Merry Christmas!

Juniper is by far my favorite type of greenery! There are tons of ways to use a wreath other than hanging on a door. Use a wreath as your centerpiece with candles in the middle or on the back of your dinning chairs to change things up!
