'Tis the season, and with it comes the making of holiday lists to find the perfect gifts for your family and friends.

In preparation for the holiday season, I have come up with some essential items to have on hand, so your home looks polished and ready for the busy times ahead.

It’s not every day we need to set an impressive formal table for our family and guests, but it’s Christmas and the one time of year that calls for pulling out all the stops.

Every holiday season I look forward to creating and buying fragrant seasonal florals and plants for myself and my clients.

When I celebrated Christmas for the first time in my new home, we had just moved in a few days before Christmas and I didn’t have time to think about a specific holiday style or colour scheme.

With the holiday season in full swing, our days are packed with festive parties and our thoughts filled with creative gift giving ideas.

This Christmas I painted a holiday scene in my home with a brush dripped in vibrant colour!
