So last year we started the tradition (I guess we can call it that now that this is our second year doing it!) to commission an illustration of our family for our Christmas card. Once again, we hired my friend from art school whom we’ve kept in touch with, Lance Fry, and once again he blew us away:
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

[…] card, that almost wasn’t. We were going to do another illustrated card like the last 2 years (2013 and 2012), but in the eleventh hour, things didn’t work out. So, last week, I dressed Greta […]
Love this! What an awesome Christmas card! Such a great idea.

This is such a great idea. I love it!!!
I LOVE this. Seriously love love love. All the details, oh my goodness. I really might have to try this out next year!
There are so many details to this card! We tape our cards on our kitchen cabinets and I keep looking at it and smile. That Lance is so talented. and I LOVED the hand written note. Your hand must be in rehab after doing that for everyone!
I love this! Happy Holidays.

I love the expression on Charley’s sweet face! She conveys all of the resigned indignation of having to wear antler ears. So sweet! This is a great idea…now you have me on the lookout for a local artist here who would do the same for us. I love it! Merry Christmas!
