Christmas Time Is Here...Oh Dear!

Wow ~ before we know it Christmas will be here.  It's been a whirlwind of activity around our place.  Due to the recent Texas ice storm, the Holiday Home Tour was cancelled and rescheduled for this past Saturday where hundreds of people came through our home.  I hope my style and my design conveyed that you don't have to have a McMansion nor do you have to spend a fortune in order to create an inviting and personalized environment for you and yours.



As a token of appreciation for having my home on the tour, I was presented with this beautiful architectural rendering of my house created by Shelley Minnis.  Thanks Shelley ~ I will treasure this forever!

Then on Sunday, I was honored to have Hilary Walker from Our Style Stories, drop in for a visit as she did a photo shoot and style story for her blog.  I hope you hop on over to her site and take a look at my home as seen through her eyes and her beautiful photography. 

Additionally, while Hilary was here, we had a cozy conversation that's up today on her site as a podcast.  Be sure to listen to it here.  Thank you Hilary for our wonderful time together!     

I'm so glad you decided to stop by during this busy time of year.  Hope to see you back here soon.  :) Dana

Holiday Home Tour


Here of late, among other things, I've been scurrying around prepping my home for the Coppell Holiday Home Tour.  Earlier this fall I was asked if my home could be on the tour and I happily agreed to be a part of this worthwhile event.  The annual affair benefits the Assistance League of Coppell and is their primary fundraiser.

I'm extending a personal invitation to you, your family and friends and would love for you to join in on the fun this Friday or Saturday, December 6th and 7th.  I will be featuring some unique Tattered Style Christmasy decor as well as some DIY's that will be easy to duplicate.

There will be four homes featured on the tour.  For more details go here and for a bio on my home go here.  Why not make it an annual event for you and your friends and come on out this weekend?  I hope to see you on the tour!
