Hosting a summer dinner party soon? Gathering with friends and family is one of our favorite things. And hosting in the summer feels especially magical. While all you need for a great dinner party is good food and great company, we’ve thought of a few ideas to help kick your next dinner party up a notch.

The kitchen. The heart of the home. After school snacks. Family dinners. Late night desserts. Scripture study. Just hanging out and chatting. And everything in between happens here. Here’s the secret: your kitchen doesn’t need to be brand new, squeaky clean, or full of organic snacks to make it a place of refuge for you and your family. It just has to feel warm and inviting, have a few basic essentials, that will serve you and your family the way you need it to.

New year, new organization goals. While decluttering and re-organizing your home may feel like a daunting task, the key is to start small with little changes to collect pesky clutter in problem areas of your home. Small changes can lead to big solutions. 

Shop for your Christmas gifts early this year! Shipping times are unpredictable, so snag these great gifts now to be the hero of Christmas. Everything from fine art to home decor and accent pieces, your friends and loved ones will love their meaningful Christmas gift.

The ‘it’ product of the kitchen. The envy of all other kitchen gadgets and platters. The charcuterie board. This jack of all trades is a necessity in your kitchen because of its usefulness and stylish design. While there are definitely more than just three, we’ve put together three ideas on how to use your new charcuterie board.

Decorate with pieces that are meaningful to you, that make you smile when you look at them, or that remind you of your loved ones. And remember, curating those perfect pieces doesn’t happen after just one trip to the store. It takes time to gather the decor that will find a place in your home.
