A Soft Holiday Touch (… pun intended)

Seasonal

This post is sponsored by Scotties.

Bryan and I have been big fans of Genevieve Gorder going back to HGTV’s Trading Spaces, and most recently Stay Here on Netflix (sidenote: if you haven’t seen this show and are at all interested in Airbnb design, watch it!)  This year, Genevieve partnered with Scotties to design a line of winter and holiday themed tissue boxes that we are LOVING.  Sometimes Most of the time, tissue box designs can be a bit cheesy, but these are ones that we actually want to display in our home & vacation rentals.

We placed a few throughout our Pearl Airbnb for our winter guests.  It’s a simple little touch that we hope they notice!

I love that the classic designs and how they integrate so easily into our decor.

Most of the designs are more winter themed than holiday themed, so we can keep them out all winter.

We kept a few for ourselves at The Vic, too!

This one is my favorite.  I want to put one in every room!

You can find out more about the Genevieve Gorder x Scotties collab here, and if you’re interested in grabbing a few for your home, you can pick them up at:

  • Market Basket

After growing up in NJ and living in NYC for 8 years, I was open to a change. The glamour of climbing the corporate ladder was wearing off, and we knew that renting an expensive small apartment and dealing with crowded subways everyday was not going to work forever. 

After Bryan & I got married, we took a trip back to Columbus, OH (Bryan's hometown) in what turned out to be his secret mission to convince me that we should move back.  We drove through the growing downtown neighborhoods, looked at boarded up houses with endless potential, and felt the difference of a slower pace of life.  There was something about the energy of the city and the possibility of building something of our own that drew me in.  I was in!

I'm Catherine, and I'm the founder of Beginning in the Middle.
