My house is fairly small. When I first moved here, 20 years ago, I would occasionally have a get together in the winter months and maybe one in the summer. In the summer, everyone would be on the deck. In the winter, it was cozy with people in the dining room.
I don’t do that now but I feel like maybe if I get the interior painted and get things freshened up, I might. I just got a new bathroom so the bathroom is beautiful and no longer an embarrassment. My job is busy with holiday parties which include hotel stays two weekends out of December. That makes it extra busy but maybe in a few years I will no longer be with this job.
I do love to look at beautiful holiday tablescapes on Pinterest and Instagram. I kind of live vicariously through that.
