It’s December 2–Is anyone else gearing up for Christmas cards? Has anyone already received any? (That would be REALLY impressive…yeesh!) Back in October, I admitted that I was brainstorming. And then when I got new pajamas for my birthday, I knew I wanted our card to take a turn for the cozy. Picture this: Chris, Greta and I all curled up in bed with our jammies on. Smiling, because we are so happy to be a family and so excited for Christmas. *Click!* Brandon’s camera captures the whole thing and we have our Marcum Christmas card…the first as a family of 3.
Last Christmas, when we were just 2, we didn’t take a “Christmas picture” we just used a snapshot from Cam and Kasey’s wedding and added an appropriate caption to the bottom:

Cute, even a little witty…but definitely homemade. This year, I have already been eyeing cards on Shutterfly. They have a ton of Christmas photo card options. At the top of my list:
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 […]
