Welcome to Our Home, Holiday Tour 2016

Holiday decorating is a serious business in our house! We love to decorate just about every single room. Welcome to our house, join us for a tour.

We spend as much time as possible on our front porch so we love to make it festive. Lots of reds like an Adirondack Christmas cottage.

How to Set a Beautiful Holiday Table

Whether you have family coming in from out of town, or you’re hosting a small get-together, preparing for the holidays takes time and planning. Luckily, it’s the fun kind of planning! Setting a holiday table can go a long way to create a peaceful ambience and relaxed vibe for your holiday event. Here are a few tips to create a dream-worthy setup for you and your loved ones.

Choose Your Color Palette

The first step to creating that perfect holiday tablescape is to select a color palette that complements your dining room décor. We recommend incorporating several neutrals, with a pop of an accent color. For inspiration, visit the paint section of a hardware store and browse through the color combinations. You can also search for holiday color palettes online, in magazines or in nature.

As you set your color palette, pick out your accent color. How would you like to incorporate it? It could pop into the linen napkins, the dishes and cutlery, small accessories or even décor like garland or candles. Common holiday accent colors are red, burgundy, green, blue, gold, silver and more — but you don’t have to stop there. Let your imagination run wild!

Hampton Placemats

Layer Your Linens

Table linens can play a significant role in your holiday design. We love the technique of layering linens to create dimension, texture and warmth. Select a tablecloth in a soft neutral color like beige, white or gray, depending on your color palette. Our Hampton Placemats can either mimic the neutral tablecloth color or add in a new shade from your palette.

Choose dishware that complements your color scheme, then place bold napkins on top. Browse Windsor and Carmel Napkins to find the color that’s right for you. 

Chloe Placemats 

Play with Textures
Part of layering linens and elements is playing with textures and patterns. Choose Lily Napkins for a romantic, soothing ruffled edge. Or go for the Chloe Placemat, which features intricate floral cutwork. These designs are still available in neutral colors, but the texture variation will help break up any monotony and add in a bit of that “yes” factor.

Choose the Final Touches

Accessorizing is the final step to setting your dream-worthy holiday tablescape. Tie your tablecloth with ivy or garland, sprinkle holiday leaves around candlesticks, select cutlery with subtle accents and let your creativity shine. Our Victorian Napkin Rings are a great way to add a polished, final touch to your setup.

Taylor Scott Collection of Slipcovered Furniture - Made in the USA

We are very passionate about high quality furniture especially when it comes to sofas and comfy chairs. Sure you can purchase a sofa or chair at a big box store for a cheap price but you will most likely be skimping on quality and above all not know where the furniture is made and if it has been chemically treated. I personally will not have a chemically treated sofa or chair in my house and around my family. The Taylor Scott Collection not only will provide you with a top quality piece of furniture but one that is so comfortable your guests may never want to leave.

Taylor Scott Collection furniture is bench made one item at a time right in the USA. All hardwood frames with steel hand tied springs. All fabrics are hot washed and not chemically treated. All furniture can be customized to your specifications and with your fabric. Furniture can be slipcovered or upholstered.

The Value of Investing in Luxury Bedding

A bedroom is place of rest. It’s an escape from the day’s stress, a personal haven. Because the bedroom is intended for relaxation, it’s important to create an atmosphere that encourages calm, and allows you to unwind. It begins with the very place sleep finds us: the bed.

Considering we spend a third of our lives between the sheets, an investment in luxury bedding should be top priority. However, in the home design industry, we see it all the time: people pay top dollar for bedroom furnishings, yet allow their bedding to be second rate. The irony is this: cheap sheets don’t last, and paying for replacements adds up. When you choose a premium bedding set from the beginning, you invest in more than lasting luxury–you invest in restful, comfortable sleep for years to come.

At Lavender Fields, we’re consistently impressed by the incomparable quality of Bella Notte Linens (shop the entire collection here). Their luxe line of heirloom quality sheets and pillowcases, shams, coverlets, and duvet covers are among the softest, most decadent we’ve experienced. Made in the USA with expert attention to detail and craftsmanship, their premium textiles are available in a rainbow of luscious colors, and can be custom dyed to your preference. Beyond their beauty, all eco-friendly bed sets from Bella Notte Linens are machine washable. They understand easy-to-care-for bedding is as valuable as luxury, and the textile company’s commitment to both is a standard that sets them apart.
