“Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling.”

Every holiday season I try to brighten up the joy in my room since it is where I spend most of my time these days working from home. Joy and Christmas go hand and hand for me. This year the joy is needed that much more so for the first time I decorated for Christmas before Thanksgiving. I am happy to admit I am so glad I did. Thee joy radiates for me each and every day seeing all my Christmas decor throughout my room thanks to Wayfair! I can’t wait to decorate the rest of my house 🙂

Wayfair helped me created a joyful space this Christmas and holiday season. Here is what I came up with and what is helping make me smile each day.

Happy Holidays! Don’t forget to spread the joy for others but also for yourself!

Love Always,

I’m teaming up with Wayfair to bring you The Fall Edit, a collection of advice, inspiration, and trends for the upcoming season, starting with a Q & A between Wayfair and I:

Fall Decorating and Renovation Q & A with Iced Tea & Top Knots

Wayfair: Which fall home decor projects do you get most excited about?

Iced Tea & Top Knots: I get most excited about changing up all my pillows, blankets and flowers throughout my home for Fall.

Wayfair: Are there any design trends you are loving right now?

Iced Tea & Top Knots: I am really loving all of these and hope to implement a few where I can this Fall.

Canopy Beds
Non-white Kitchens
Floral Wallpaper
Vintage Accents
High Contrast
Velvet

Wayfair: What are a few ways people can spruce up their homes with fall decor while on a budget?

Iced Tea & Top Knots: Changing up your decor by season is definitely overwhelming sometimes because of the cost. I have found the picking up a couple new pillows, a new blanket and a new vase definitely help change up your room for the fall season while staying on a budget.

Where Design Meets Function: Major Appliances

For those working on home renovations this fall, you know how important it is to find the right appliances to go with your design scheme.

Iced Tea & Top Knots: Advice on Selecting Appliances:

My biggest pieces of advice for choosing appliances is do your research, measure the space you want the appliance to go in and factor in the theme of that specific room.

Wayfair is having a special appliance event from October 5-21. Scout out dream kitchen and laundry room updates including ranges, range hoods, refrigerators, beverage refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, and more.

Chandeliers are one of my favorite details that help change up a room in a blink of an eye for each season. I love the added personality it gives your room.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year.”

The holidays are in full swing with Christmas just around the corner. Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year for many reasons. Some of those reasons are it is a time to be with family, celebrate with friends, give to others and get cozy in Christmas pjs while I drink hot coco, oh and watching Hallmark Christmas movies! To get the full feel of a cozy holiday I have to have my blanket, pillows, Christmas decor and Wayfair is the perfect place to get all of that. See my favorite Wayfair choices below to achieve the perfect, cozy Christmas from day to night!
