Two Quick (And Pretty) Ways To Fold The Holiday Napkin

It’s that time already! Can you believe the holidays are here?!

Radio stations are playing Christmas music, and lights and greenery are hung.

We thought it might be nice over the next few weeks to offer a few quick tips on how to simplify this crazy time of year.

Homes will soon be filled with festive décor, food, friends and family, and hopefully our tips will help you ~~not stress~~ enjoy this season.

Today, I am sharing a TV segment I taped a few years back for NBC-13 Birmingham with David Lamb on a few easy ways to fold napkins. David and I had a lot of fun perfecting the art, and I promise, if we can do it, so can you. Take a look:

Little tricks – from hand-written place cards and unique napkin folds – can help make for memorable meals during the holidays.

Watch this video to see how easily you can add elegance to your table and set the scene for a delicious feast.

The Kitchen

Recently, I taped a television segment on kitchen trends for Daytime AL. I always enjoy working with them as they are just a really great group of nice, fun people. If you haven’t seen their show before, catch them on NBC at 11:30 Monday thru Friday, and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Whether discussing kitchens with Wendy or with a client, my number one recommendation for this space is to incorporate natural materials. They stand the test of time, as there is nothing prettier to me than an old piece of marble or limestone. Here are a few things that I am seeing and loving lately…

Marble is beautiful and using it in a subway tile makes it even more gorgeous…

Colored appliances are making their way back, but the look is much more fresh and modern than the ones from back when…

My favorite look right now and one I look forward to using soon is unlacquered brass hardware. I love the fact the patina becomes even more beautiful the more it is touched…

How about you? What are your favorite looks for the kitchen right now? Please share your thoughts with us.

If you like, you can watch the full segment here on Daytime AL for more tips and ideas. Have a great day, everyone-
