We are so excited to welcome you into our home this Christmas.

We hope you leave tonight feeling inspired, festive, and ready to take on December with the strength of 10 grinches plus 2.

But please remember…Christmas decorating doesn’t need to be expensive or brand new or perfect…the kid crafts sitting out on the counter; the precious baby handprint ornaments hanging on a messy tree; and the wooden nativity that gets played with daily…are all special ways to create a home that is cozy and collected, unique to your family at Christmastime. This school is a beautiful backdrop, that’s for sure…but it’s possible to create Christmas magic in any home, any size, in any stage life with (I’m looking at you naughty toddlers).

We hope that’s what you see here today…just a family who loves the nostalgic memories of Christmas past, brought to life with collected decor in the present…now LET’S PARTY!!!!!!

Last night we hosted a couples ‘Friendsgiving’ for 12 (minus kids!) followed by a few rounds of adult hide-and-seek, and it. was. SO worth the logistics to try and find babysitters and gather during one of the busiest weeks of the year! We are so blessed to have friends who come right in; treat our kitchen like their own; bounce each others babies during dinner; and bring precious handmade hostess gifts like this one (which made my cry).

Happy Thanksgiving Week, friends!

In the past month we…

…had our official ribbon cutting; were guests on a podcast; hosted a two-day Christmas/vendor event; invited the community in for a mix-and-mingle; finished tiling a shower in our final suite; hosted Legion Tuesday on election night; planned our CHRISTMAS TOUR; met with other entrepreneurs to discuss collabs; bought and moved A BAR into the ballroom; flipped suites after guests…

…and preparations are underway to host 50 friends + family for our first Schoolhouse Thanksgiving.

WHAT A FALL. Wouldn’t recommend this pace of life…but wouldn’t *not* recommend it either. We have a lot of FUN.

Keeping the Christmas touches on the second floor sweet + minimal.

Upstairs will be neither of those things.

…making it a Christmas to remember, Kenny + Dolly style.

Without being over-the-top ‘themey’ we’ve enjoyed bringing subtle vintage schoolhouse charm to every corner of this 27,000 SF space. Old globes, school bells, typewriters, chalkboards, little school chairs, roll-down world maps…the hunting and collecting is our favorite part!

We love playing up the history + nostalgia with little touches like these. 🤍

When things get quiet on socials around here…it almost always guarantees things are WILD in real life. Emails, phone calls, meetings, calendar reminders…this stay-at-home-mom of a decade had to shower and DRESS in something other than leggings and a hoodie on Tuesday morning for a meeting with and I thought…when did this happen?! Real world here I come!

Christmas plans for Milford are well underway, but for now the second floor remains steadfast in her fall vibes. 🍁

Remember, ticket sales for our November 1st event are happening now + come shop vendors on the 2nd!

Time to clean the mess in the schoolhouse ballroom! For the past week our kids, cousins, and friends have romped around in here, building castles and mazes with our moving box collection…today it was finally time for a clean-up. So excited for all the possibilities in this space!
