Every year our little D*S family takes a week off to relax, restore and spend

Every year our little D*S family takes a week off to relax, restore and spend time with friends and family. But before we head out for our holiday break (we’ll be back on January 3rd!), I wanted to share some of my favorite images from this month’s hashtag challenge: #DSHoliday. You all shared so many beautiful images of wreaths, handmade ornaments and clever DIY decor! I was so impressed and moved by your stunning photos of what the holiday season looks like in your hometown, too. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

And thank you for sharing with us every other day of the year. From your comments here to your emails and notes on social media to getting to see so many of you in person for the In the Company of Women book tour this year, your feedback, thoughts and inspiration keep us motivated and working harder every year. I can’t wait to share what we have planned for 2017. Until then, from all of us at Design*Sponge, we send you all our best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season and a wonderful 2017. See you in January! xo, grace Read on for more of our favorite #DSHoliday images after the jump!
