Hi everyone! I hope this post finds you warm and cozy at home like me but without the nasty winter weather that we're getting here in Connecticut (I'm crossing my fingers that we don't lose power this weekend with all of the ice coming our way!). As we work our way into 2019 I thought it was a good time to share my annual home decor trends post - my six favorite 2019 decorating trends that I'm looking forward to seeing more of throughout the year. While I've never been one to change my ...
2019 Decorating Trends: My Six Favorites
Create a Simple Home Mail Organizer Center (& Show Your Mail Who’s Boss!)
With the pile of mail that we get every day (it's gotten especially insane lately with all of the incoming college brochures for my oldest daughter!) it can get out of control pretty quickly. Last year I created a home mail organizer center and it's been amazing for helping me to stay on top of our mail, get bills paid on time, and clear any junk mail out of our house as soon as it comes in. It's super simple to create and makes such a difference in keeping our home more clutter-free. So if ...

Best of Driven by Decor 2018!
Happy new year!! How were your holidays?

We've been home for the second half of our break and I can't believe it's about over - the time went by so fast! I've done a lot of decluttering and purging (I finally convinced my girls to give up a huge chunk of their ...

How to Make a Greenery Table Runner Step by Step!
I’m not hosting Christmas dinner this year so instead of putting together a holiday table in our dining room, I decided to dress up our kitchen table that we eat at every day. Now I'm wondering why I never did this before because I'm so happy to be able to enjoy it for weeks instead of just one night! I wanted to try making a greenery table runner for the first time and in typical Kris fashion, I went into it without much of a plan or having any idea how it would turn out. Luckily, if you throw ...
