December in Review

Can y’all believe that December is nearly over? While other months seem to fly by, December is a nice, slow, long month for me, and I love it. Sean took this whole week off work (lucky!) but I’m holding things down in the office. I hope that you all are relaxing and enjoying the last few days of the year! We will be back with some year in review type posts this week, but in the meantime, here’s what went down in December:

In the Condo:

updating and old shelf - Charleston Crafted

We gave an old particle board shelf a quick-and-free makeover. Sometimes going back to the basics can feel so good!

Living Room Update - Charleston Crafted

We finally finished up somesmall updates to our living room including a new gallery wall. It turned out great.

In the Kitchen:

Wisconsin Cheese Curds - Charleston Crafted

I traveled to Wisconsin for work and brought back cheese curds, which Sean eagerly fried up and devoured during a Panthers game!

Nutella White Chocolate Chip Cookies - Charleston Crafted

Sean has a new obsessions, and it’s nutella cookies. So easy, totally from scratch, and incredibly delicious. It’s never too late in the season for cookies!

Charleston Pecan Pralines - Charleston Crafted

I made pecan pralines (twice) and am so obsessed. I can’t believe how easy it is – we are going to end up with these in the house all year round!

We shared a few good ideas for White Elephant Christmas exchange gifts.

We talked about designing a floor plan for our reception and some of the challenges that we are facing.

Other stuff:

In honor of our 3rd anniversary, we shared the story of how we met. If you haven’t heard it before, it’s a good read.

Habitat for Humanity - Charleston Crafted

I’ve been volunteering with Habitat for Humanity this fall and had to give them a shout out, it’s such a great organization!

Color of the year - Marsala - Charleston Crafted

I shared my thoughts on the Pantone 2015 color of the year: Marsala.
