Remodelaholic in Review: December 2016

We hope that you and everyone around you had a wonderful Christmas and New Years. It is hard to believe that it is a new year, and that the celebrations of last year are all in the past. Many were sad to see 2016 go, others were eager to have a fresh start at a new year. We hope that you have many fond memories of the year and that you enjoyed all of the fun projects and inspiration that we shared. We always have so much fun finding and sharing DIY home ideas with you, thanks for ringing in the New Year with us by joining us for our December recap!

We always love seeing the Christmas theme and look that Cassity creates in her home for the holidays. She shared her gorgeous Woodland Christmas Tree as well as her gorgeous Christmas Mantel Decorating that I want in my own home. We don’t have a mantel, but after her posts, I am going to figure out how to add one! Just look how stunning and perfecting Christmas.

A trend that we saw on social media throughout the holiday was #lighttheworld. Did anyone else see the good cheer and service going around accompanying that hashtag? Cassity shared the Christmas spirit that is taking place in her home, the Christmas spirit that is created through #lighttheworld; 25 days of ideas for living more like the Savior did. It was small things that made a big difference, and there were even ways for kids to participate. Check it out and consider making it a tradition in your home.

I love calendars and this gorgeous Free Hand-lettered 2017 Calendar Printable is no exception! Prefect for a Christmas gift or your first project for the new year. It would look gorgeous in any home, and you could really customize it in so many ways to fit your own personalities. I am eager to see how yours turns out. So if you create one, please share it with us. Send us a photo or message us on Facebook!

This fun and spirited Candy Cane Wreath is another fabulous holiday project that even the kids can make with you! This wreath looks fantastic displayed and is sure to make any place feel a little more like a Christmas Winter Wonderland.

We always look forward to seeing the updates that Cassity adds to her home. My husband was especially thrilled to read the review of her latest addition, an Automatic Light Switch! He loves all things technology and when he finds something that works, he is ready to install it right away. If you are in need of a third hand, check our how convenient this light can be in your life!
