Winter Whites

In between Christmas and New Year's, I start to put away the colorful Christmas decor.  But I always love to keep all the white twinkly lights out until New Years and anything else that feels lighter and white.    A few pics to inspire you to clean up the clutter during the holiday break and keep it simple in the New Year:

 How about you?  Do you start putting away your Christmas decor before or after the New Years?

Project Update

My clients will move into their new home during the holidays and we're down to crunch time.  Here's a few sneak peek's until  we get the house complete this week.

love the exterior lights by the front door.....they're great not only because of their cool design, but also because you don't see bright light in your eyes as you approach the porch.....very subtle, yet plenty of illumination......

This photo was taken a day before the landscaping started going in. 

Iron overhang supports

Modern concrete stepping stones

Will update with more pics when the time allows over the busy next few weeks.  Our thoughts and prayers are with those in Connecticut.  Our hearts are heavy as we pray for all of the families & friends affected by this terrible tragedy.
