A Simple Christmas Brunch: Keeping it Simple
Well… this didn’t end up being quite the post I thought it was going to be. It turns out that trying to take photos with everyone at home is a bit more tricky than anticipated. There were a lot of outtakes of kids hanging off of the doorways, purposely jumping in the photos as the timer got closer to zero, and a certain 7-year old attempting to train our 2-year old boxer in the background. We’ll be laying low (and apparently going stir crazy) this Holiday Season. While we likely won’t have an elaborate Christmas dinner, we do plan to have a nice Christmas Brunch in the Dining Room. Last…

A Simple Christmas Kitchen: Brass & Berry
I finally got around to decorating our Simple Christmas Kitchen. Despite trying to keep the kitchen minimally decorated, I somehow managed to incorporated almost all of the Christmas colors that were contenders this year. The best part is that the decorations I thought would be difficult to hang up didn’t give me any problems. It was a Christmas miracle!

A Cozy Christmas: Red & Green Christmas Tree and Mantle
I hope you all had a nice week! We went to a tree farm about a half hour north of town a week ago and cut down the most perfect tree! I didn’t know it at the time, but it ended up working really, really well with a lot of the Cozy Christmas decorations that we already had.

Kids’ Clothes, A Holiday Mantel & More
Today I’m sharing a sneak peek of our Christmas Mantel, a book that I’m listening to for the second time, a few ideas for kids’ clothes for the winter, a new-to-me brand, a Christmas Cabin wish list, and a favorite hotel. Oh, and I changed the name from Mackinaw Road Mondays to Mackinaw Road Musings, since I rarely seem to be able to actually get the posts out on Mondays.

Where to Stay in Traverse City: An Michigan Airbnb Farm
We finally got away! And to such a charming Michigan Airbnb. The style was amazing. It was the perfect pandemic “getaway.” We had the farm to ourselves, complete with a fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and access to a 17-mile hiking/jogging/biking trail. We were able to order out a few (okay, almost all) the times during our stay from restaurants in Traverse City. Read on for all of the details.

Mackinaw Road Monday: Like to Know
Hi there and Happy Monday! Actually Thursday. What a week! I am so excited that you can now find all of my favorites over on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app! I’ll be sharing more about how it all works later in this post. I would also like to know your thoughts on the mirror that I purchased for our dining room, what color scheme works for our fall dining table, if you’ve seen one of my favorite interior designer’s new show on Netflix, and what you think about this sweater. Let’s get started! **This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you!

Mackinaw Road Monday Fall Updates
Good morning and Happy Monday! This week, I thought I would just give some updates about various and miscellaneous topics. So, the usual Monday. Keep reading for entryway wallpaper updates, a new mirror enroute to the house, The Madison, Half Baked Harvest lunch favorites, and a sweater comb that has become a fast favorite. Side note: the stars must be aligned (or something like that) because I have been on a decision-making roll this past week! Very unlike me!

Entryway Wallpaper : Serena and Lily Wallpaper
With fall in full swing and the kids back in school (fingers crossed, fingers crossed), now seems like a great time to attempt to start posting regularly again. We recently updated our Entryway Wallpaper. Actually, we never had wallpaper in this entry. We inherited beautiful entryway wallpaper in our old 1926 home… It was a lovely terra-cotta grasscloth of which I somehow have zero photos… it received so many compliments! While we went a different direction with the style of entryway wallpaper in this colonial home, we are hoping that it has the same welcoming vibe as guests (someday) enter our house.
