Subtle Christmas

My favorite Christmas decorating is sparse and subtle. Changing too much just feels chaotic and I don’t want the work involved with taking out lots of things and putting them away again a month later.

This is especially true this year because we just recently bought the house we’ve been renting!
Yes, it’s true. Which means all the gross rental things I’ve complained about over the years can finally be changed. We’ve already made some changes to our closet, just waiting to pour concrete floors. Once it’s finished I’ll show you. Top of the list now though is the kitchen! We convinced our landlord to let us change floors, light fixtures and paint color but outside of that we couldn’t/wouldn’t do much more.
With kitchen renovations beginning in about a week, our house will be torn to pieces for a bit-refrigerator in the dining room, microwave on the table, I’m hoping it goes by fast.

So you can see why my feelings about a simple Christmas are so strong. Above are some images from Norm for Menu (I know, I blog about them a lot because they are my current favorite) and the styling feels warm and festive but not overdone, juuuuust right.

AMM was created as a way to share my aesthetics with the world. Stunning interiors instigated my passion for beautiful, extraordinary, and simple shapes. I was largely influenced by Nordic design philosophy and AMM transitioned from a personal blog into my own collection of interiors, things, visual trends, DIY projects, lifestyle products, and observations. As an interior design aficionado, I would love to see like-minded people, so stay tuned!

We will be happy to hear your thoughts
