On a day where fall was saying goodbye and winter hello we trekked over the river and through the Atlanta History Center’s woods to a Woodland Wonderland created just for Rue Magazine’s Holiday issue.  

With a pristine log cabin providing the ideal backdrop it wasn’t hard to bring my vision to life.  The table was overflowing with sugared fruits and holiday florals flanked by giant candelabras.  Hand cut place cards laid perfectly on Juliska’s Country Estate dinnerware, and gold flatware and glasses provided just a touch of sparkle.  And after dinner guests retreated to the cabin getting cozy by the fire and noshing on wintery cake, pumpkin creme brûlée, coffee, and a whiskey or two.

With everything falling right into place it all was nothing short of magical.  I’ll be sharing all of the recipes from HomeSpun Atlanta over the next few weeks, but for know just snuggle up and enjoy our Woodland Wonderland and a Very Merry Rue.  Truly, MKR

We started with a fall harvest, proceeded to a very thankful Thanksgiving, and we’ve finally arrived at my final, festive, and quite possibly favorite Holiday look for Ballard Designs; Christmas.  Full of various tartan fabrics, a small forest of trees, and pretty packages tied up with string I think you’ll be able to see why this time of year is my favorite time of year.  Find all the tablescape and decorating details and plenty of other holiday inspiration over on Ballard Design’s Blog, How To Decorate today and with that I hope your holiday season is off to a truly cheerful start.  Truly, MKR

You may recall a few months back I was asked by one of my favorite brands, Ballard Designs, to create three distinct holiday looks.  The first, a harvest dinner perfect for soaking up all the fall season has to offer, and today I’m thrilled to bring you my second holiday look, Thanksgiving.  Head over to Ballard’s Blog, How To Decorate, to read more about the inspiration plus I’m sharing a few tips and tricks to help you get ready for all the family you’ll be hosting and food you’ll be preparing this Thanksgiving Day.  Truly, MKR
