you’ve probably seen a few sneak peaks here and there.
This dining room gets to become the fun room!The one we can keep pretty and then only use on special occasions, like maybe if we have a special Holiday breakfast for just a few people, or something like that.
It’s a good thing too.That furniture was made in 1867 and probably could use a break if we want it to last for another 150 years!.I added some simple greenery and a neutral runner, along with some basic clear glass pieces to create a look that’s a little bit festive, but will still feel perfect for Winter after the holidays are over.. With all of the clean up that’s going to be happening right after Christmas, it will be so nice to have a room that can just stay as-is and be enjoyed a little while longer.
Last year I kept most of the greenery up until after Valentine’s Day.It was still in great shape and looked beautiful, but I regretfully took it down as we got closer to Spring.
I enjoyed it all Winter!.
If you’re like me and have more wine glasses than people coming for dinner, you can use a few to make really fun tealight holders.You can do a little bit at a time, or a lot at a time and then have a few weeks off while you wait for a response from the publisher on a certain step in the process.
I was really anxious about all of that waiting at first, but I’ve learned to love those breaks in the action.So that’s how that part of the process looks!
I had no idea that there was so much pre-work involved, so if you find yourself in a situation where you get to write a book sometime soon, I hope this will be helpful for you!.More about the next steps in the process coming soon!
