To Decorate or Not To Decorate for the Holidays

Should you decorate for the holidays if you are trying to sell your home? Such a great question!! If you are selling your house, the answer is a very simple no…and yes.

I'll explain in a minute, but I want you to know that whether you are selling or not, I am super excited to share gorgeous inspiration and products (remember click any image to go to product pages) to create a memorable holiday home.

Ok, back to the clarification you are just dying to have…haha! For your photos, the answer is a definite no.

You really don't want the added visual weight of holiday decorations and you don't want to distract from the beautiful features that people are actually going to buy in the house. And, god forbid, your house doesn't sell during the holiday season…nevermind….forget I even said that…not happening if you read this blog!

But, after your photos are taken, I say go for it. With some restraint though. No Clark Griswalding it!

As someone raised Catholic who converted to Judaism and is really more spiritual than religious, I have learned the art of decorating for winter in my home. I'm hoping that regardless of where you fall on any religious or secular spectrum, you find something here to inspire you to bring some beauty into your home during the winter season.
