![Do you have any decor-related holiday traditions? 🎄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A Christmas village has been part of my annual decorations for as long as I can recall! My mom put them on top of my piano when I was a little girl, and when I got older and moved out, I received some pieces of my own (with a few from my childhood mixed in). 🤎
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I chose to renovate my living room this year, I knew I’d need to find the perfect new space to display my village, come Christmas-time. This gorgeous @sauderusa cubby shelf felt like it was *made* to show off all my favorite pieces! 😍 It has been so much fun to find new ways to #SauderStyle these shelves over the last few months! 🙌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each evening, I turn the lights on and feel a little bit of Christmas spirit come to life inside my heart. ✨ Which pieces would you want in your holiday village? 🏘️

Book Review: “Midnight Sun” by Stephenie Meyer
