It is time. No more false starts. We're diving head first into our primary bathroom renovation and taking you along for the entire thing. We've heard your fears--"you're going to renovate your bathroom and then move!" And while we have done that in the past two houses, (strange scenarios and had nothing to do with just finishing our bathroom actually), we have no intention of moving after this one. I promise.

Every year, I forget someone. It's true: In the holiday hustle, I have forgotten my sister's new partner or my neighbor or a cousin (who, in my defense, was not supposed to be in town).

I would like to add "something they'll USE" to this list.

Our recently launched CLJ Shop is all abuzz with excitement for our gift guides (it's our FAVORITE time of the year!). But since our homes give main character energy too, we had to shine the light on holiday decor we're loving as well. We picked the most gorgeous, elegant, traditional decor we could find from all of our favorite retailers over in the shop. I'll give you a preview of what I have my eye on from each category below. This year, I want less flocked trees and more wild-looking trees.

It's no secret that I'm head-over-heels for picture lights aka art lights. I have them in our bedroom, our study, our kitchen, our daughter Greta's bathroom, our mudroom...you get it ;). They immediately make any piece of art, bookcase, mirror, or collectible wall more of a showcase. Plus, they provide just the most moody, dramatic, museum-like lighting to any room.
