Hello from semi-quarantine! While we slowly re-enter the world and begin to engage with our new normal, I’m happily still accepting free design questions. I have absolutely loved connecting with you and providing thoughtful advice to all of you. This weekend I’m planning to make my first donation to Global Giving, Coronavirus Relief Fund on your behalf. Thank you so much for submitting your great questions. If you still have additional unanswered questions, don’t be shy, I’m always here to help!

Thank you so much for the fantastic questions you have been sending! It’s been so lovely to focus on providing helpful resources during the quarantine. Below is a question I received from Sandy regarding adding a board and batten feature wall to her foyer.

Hello out there. How are you doing? But, how are you really doing? I hope you’re ok. I hope you and your family are safe and healthy. These are scary times, but we’re in this together. The way I see it is you can either let this bring you down or you can rise up. I’m choosing to rise and I hope you are too. In this time of great uncertainty, I am feeling so inspired by others in the world. There are so many good people risking their lives every day to help others, to offer support and to do whatever they can to help others. Each of us has a unique gift that can go a long way right now and I encourage you to use yours.

I loooove buying stocking stuffers! There is something so fun about watching your family open up these tiny little treasures. I usually put off buying these until the last minute. So if you are like me, here is a list of some crowd pleasers. Bonus points, a majority of these are on Amazon!

I could go on and on in this category! Gifts for the home are my favorite and I do feel like I can give pretty good advice when it comes to home decors. Below is a carefully curated list of some of my best purchases in the last year in addition to a few things I will be buying in 2020. I hope you find something exciting for someone on your list this year.

Let’s be honest, most us wait until the last minute to buy Christmas gifts! And that means one things - AMAZON! Seriously, how did we survive before Amazon Prime? If you’re in a pinch for some last minute gifts, here are a few of my favorite Amazon finds over the last year.

Happy Shopping! xo, H
