Sophie Conran In House Beautiful

Sophie Conran is one of my favorite designers/chef/authors.. She makes my favorite dish ware {which I use daily} and she has a fun upbeat style! Sophie is the Daughter of Sir Terrance Conran and his wife Caroline. Her father is the founder of Habitat and The Conran Shop. She has started contributing to House Beautiful in the UK on a regular basis. So excited!!! Here is a little peek at her flat this Christmas.

Christmas overdone??

Is it possible to overdo the Christmas?? I was a little amazed by the first picture but check out the second- it really puts it into perspective...

Happy Holiday pics and thank you all!

I really hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, and gets to spend it with loved ones. I'm honored to be a part of such an amazing and supportive community. As some of you know, this has been a very hard couple of months for me with my dog passing, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your kind words and sentiments. They are immensely helpful during this most devastating time.
