A Neutral and Natural Holiday Cottage

Christmas on a foothill farm nestled by the Appalachian Mountains means loads of fresh greenery in Stacie Moore’s holiday house, harvested right from the land. “Our home has an eclectic cottage twist and I love making it my own,” says Stacie, who is a decorator, homemaker and mother of four. “During the holidays, we forage on our farm for greenery to use throughout our spaces.” Swags, garlands and mini trees from their farm or other local growers, add a timeless, organic Christmas romance to Stacie’s interiors—along with an intoxicatingly fresh piney scent.

A Pantry Hill Christmas in the Country

There’s nothing quite as beautiful or nostalgic as a snowy Christmas in the country! This country home in Saratoga Springs, New York, is a new build, but over the last seven years, Eric Rozell and his wife, Darien, have been turning it into a refined country home called Pantry Hill. Here, Darien chronicles life through social media, a seasonal e-newsletter and a website—each one providing a peek inside Pantry Hill, telling its story in recipes, family history and traditions, such as the popular pie-making workshops that are held at Pantry Hill’s kitchen.

However, for interior designer Alison Kandler, doing the unexpected is exactly her cup of tea.

Owning and renovating an old home brings a sense of connection to history through the fun and timeless features that add charm and character.
