It’s time to kick off the weekend holiday style. Yep. My tartan plaid apron is ready to go, with a few Christmas decorations sprinkled throughout the kitchen. Oscar is by my side so let’s get this party started. Fridays with Oscar is genuinely my favorite post to share with y’all. It’s fun to scour through cookbooks and come up with a delicious recipe every week. Same with cocktails. I do my best to balance healthy and tasty. It’s definitely doable! Although cocktails can err on the side of sugary, this week’s Cranberry Orange Whiskey Cocktail does due to the cranberry juice and orange juice. But if you’re willing to splurge, it’s definitely a keeper!
The basement renovation is in the home stretch! This time next week, I will have my house back in order. And the project looks fantastic! I can’t wait to share with you. Next year I will have dedicated posts featuring my master bedroom, main bath, kitchen, and basement renovations. It’s come to my attention that the master bath remodel was never shared as previously planned. So I snapped an iPhone photo for a memory refresh. Webber Built was the mastermind project management company behind the bathroom and basement renovations. Let me tell you they are amazing to work with and know their stuff! While renovations are never easy, the Webber’s made the project timeline go off without a hitch.
Master Bathroom renovation was taken down to the studs. Wallpaper, bathmat, shower curtain, and towels.
Basement Renovation added new cabinetry, new lights, and fresh paint.
Main bath has a fresh coat of Benjamin Moore Black Raspberry paint, framed prints, hardware, garden stool, and memory foam bathmat.
I found these waxed Amaryllis at Trader Joe’s. What a clever idea! And so easy to incorporate into holiday decorations.
Christmas ornaments scattered throughout the house are an easy decorating idea.
I’m always mad for plaid, so who could resist this adorable Stewart plaid apron that comes with an oven mitt and pan holder from Pottery Barn?!
This week I’m going old-school prep for my outfit. There’s something timeless and true about preppy clothes that I never tire of. The ruffle-neck stripe shirt peeks out from a bouclé cardigan sweater (sold out similar here, here, and here) from J.Crew, adding a feminine twist. The cardigan has a matching jogger pant that’s in stock if you’re interested. The fabric is soft and comfy and perfect for lounging around the house. When it’s Friday and the outfit is casual blue jeans from Talbots are a no-brainer. And since my outfit has an old-school vibe, a leopard belt and leopard flats were easy choices to make and the perfect addition.

That is a fabulous looking cocktail and I love the glass!! Is this a Waterford glass?
good eye! yes, the Lismore pattern from Waterford.
Oscar has the CUTEST expression on his face…just adorable!
isn’t he a hoot?! he’s been a little stressed out during the home renovation. there are people in his house! and he loves people. but he still has to keep an eye on them.
HI Beth
Thank you, thank you for sharing your bathroom
Love it, Love it, the wall paper the tile in the floor
Every thing is lovely!!!
i’ve always been a big fan of wallpaper. and i love this black and white floral that adds a hint of femininity to a masculine bathroom.
There isn’t one thing about this post that I don’t love. I just knew that sweater was from J. Crew. After decades of almost exclusively going with Talbots, the last couple of years I have been shopping at J. Crew – very hip!!
i can always count of J.Crew for the classics with a twist. happy holidays!
