Decorating for Christmas in a Small NYC Studio

stripes and plaid

I teamed up with The Everygirl a few weeks ago to shoot a fun feature in my apartment… Christmas Morning! While I won’t be spending Christmas in my apartment, I’m almost festive to a fault during the holiday season. Christmas pajamas, garland, festive rugs, all sorts of Christmas lights, wreaths, ornaments hanging over my bed, balsam candles, plaid everything, and alllllll of the peppermint hot cocoa. I’ve essentially beenย treating each weekend morning like it’s Christmas morning since Thanksgiving!

I tried to link to everything throughout the post, butย if there’s anything I missed, just shoot me an email or leave a comment below! I found the glittery ball garland that’s above my headboard at TJ Maxx. I wrapped these firefly lights through the garland and it’s so magical to sleep under every night!

Hope you’re enjoying your holiday season just as much as I am! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love your apartment, especially your kitchen! I just moved into mine in the West Village and also got a studio just because it had a better kitchen than all the one bedrooms! Yours is amazing, though!
