HAPPY 1. ADVENTS! Are you decorating your home today too? The first Advents is my signal to add some sparkly ✨ bits and fresh greens around with paper stars ⭐️ in the windows. I have to show you our mini tree, maybe tomorrow. It’s so cute and it is for Aidan because he’s the one I do all this for - before he was born I didn’t even think about trees and decorating since my own childhood days - so there was a lot of time spent going to others for Christmas and to see my mom and friends - goin...
TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE… flowers, autumn leaves, fresh baked cookies, perfume, a leather jacket, or wonderful scented things from @skandinavisk - soaps, bath gels, lotion, room sprays, diffusers, shampoo, and of course their Scandinavian-inspired glass candles with wooden lids - plus everything is good for you and good for your home with their high B Corp standards. My favorite scents from them include: HYGGE, RO, OY, ARKTIS, HAV, KOTO, and JUL (for Christmas). For Autumn and Winter, I love ...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🦃🍁🍽 to my American friends and family abroad. I hope you are enjoying the festivities and delicious food and drinks. Have a safe and inspiring holiday weekend ahead, too!
HI 🙋🏼‍♀️ I‘M HOLLY. If you don’t know me, that’s okay, it took me 4 decades to finally know myself! Hehehe 🤣 I‘m an American expat living in Hannover, Germany for 15 years - I left Boston behind to experience life in Europe and to see what awaited me over here - what I could become, who I could meet, what I could achieve… The risk of leaving my home and family behind was a HUGE one, but what unfolded was more than I could have imagined. Mostly very good. 🙃😅😍 My professional background was i...
CATALOG styling and photography is something I love to do for brands - I’m lucky because I have a 230m2 flat in Hannover with all the props needed and two huge office rooms with excellent lighting - one that doubles as a photo studio. I‘m happy to wake up each day to all of my creativity under one roof - my son comes home from school to greet me just as I had always envisioned before even becoming a mom. I sometimes wish I had an external office, sure, and I did for two years around the c...
I’m a DESIGNER. That’s me! I studied design in school but I am largely self taught since finishing school because let’s face it - a design education doesn’t do much without YEARS of research, work in the field, mess ups, and massive challenges. I have so much experience and knowledge by now that I’m moving more and more into commercial design - some residential still - but my passion is for spaces used by the public. I want to keep creating concepts for fair stands, cafes, bakeries, restaur...
🎄🕯️ MONDAY begins the Weihnachtsmarkt here in Hannover which always feels like the entry point into the holiday season. When I moved to Germany, I couldn’t believe how big of a deal Christmas 🎄 was here. The markets in every city and even villages, the handmade markets and artists’ markets, the Advents calendar and 4 days of Advent, Sankt Nikolaus who comes on the night of December 5, two days of Christmas (we have only one in the USA), Heiligeabend (Holy Night) where even non-religious peo...
Today I covered the wonderful design trend of painted and embellished ceilings in my Substack subscription so if you’re curious, 👀 go check it out! Link in bio! Psst: If you know the image source please let me know so I can tag.🏷️
