Hey Reader!

Not sure why I'm surprised, but somehow we're approaching the last week of 2022. I find myself attempting to balance getting work done and beloved holiday traditions and *rest*. We're baking cookies and seeing lights today. What are you up to?

This week we're talking about...

• Displaying a collection
• Incorporating color
• Vanity light size

​

The beauty of the rope lighting is that it's pretty easy to hide or tuck out of sight. Here's the link I shared on IG to a versatile kit. ​

​

Unless you love a maximalist look, it takes a bit of restraint when incorporating color. Often the eye needs blank space or neutrals to highlight and bring focus to the special, colorful parts.

​

So many factors to consider. Please feel free to send in a pic with your questions! I can address things more specifically that way.

Shades of Light breaks down a lot of the considerations in this helpful article. ​

I want to wish you a very happy holiday. My wish for us all is that we have the presence to notice and appreciate the good in whatever it is we find ourselves doing. Even in stressful, overwhelming, or sad times, there is good all around. Sending lots of love!
