Happy Saturday! Did you all survive re-entry back into real life this week after time off over the holidays? I jumped right into working on my first organizing post of the new year that will be up on the blog next week (if you struggle with organizing your mails & bills, be on the lookout for it!) but today I'm joining the five talented women of Home Style Saturdays as their guest host to share some of our favorite posts. Grab a cup of coffee and settle on in for some great organizing, ...
Best of Driven by Decor 2018!
Happy new year!! How were your holidays? We spent the first half of our Christmas break in Virginia with my husband's family (we are on an every-other-year Christmas rotation with my family and Jeff's family) which also included a quick visit to my sister who lives nearby. 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 ...

Hi everyone! With Christmas less than a week away, I'm going to be taking a little blogging break to be with family but wanted to check in with you one last time to share a couple of quick things!

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 ...
Decorating Our Front Porch for Christmas: Our Holiday Swag & Planters
I love coming up with new decorating ideas every Christmas (you can tour my Christmas home this year {HERE}) but I have a few traditions that I repeat year after year, including the Christmas swag on our front door. When we first moved in five years ago, I clipped some evergreen branches from the tree in our front yard, berry branches from the back yard, looped on a trio of bells and a bow and the tradition was born! I not only love that I'm able to put it together using branches foraged from ...
Our 2018 Christmas Home!
I love this time of year for so many reasons including that our home is always at its coziest! Definitely a good thing since during our harsh winters we hunker down and become a bunch of homebodies until spring. Our family room is where we hang out the most so that's where I always start my Christmas decorating. I'm excited to share it all with you - come on in and I'll show you around! I'll share most sources as we go but have included a full Source List at the end of the post for anything I ...
