HAPPY HOLIDAYS & Thank You!

Happy Holidays To You & Yours!

Dear Readers & Clients,

It’s not exactly “easy” running a business, a lifestyle website, and a happy home — lots of late nights and tired days, and I honestly wouldn’t do it if it weren’t for you. I feel so fortunate to even have the opportunity to strive to do my best in all three; being creative on a daily basis and sharing those inspirations with all of you has been an incredibly fulfilling journey for me.

But it is also a journey of continuous self-improvement, and I would be so appreciative if I could get your feedback on how we can continue to provide worthwhile content for you. Feel free to comment here or drop us a line at xoxo [at] erikabrechtel [dot] com and let us know what you’d like to see more of (or just say hi!). As we begin our sixth year on this little page — and 13th year of the business — it’s important to me to keep learning and evolving.

Thank you new readers and thank you to those who have been following along for awhile now. It’s hard to believe how quickly five years has gone by!

And a big thank you to my clients this year that have entrusted me with their companies’ hearts and souls. It is such an honor to work with you to find the best solutions we can together!

    A bit of a late comment, but for me, it’s a case of just keep doing what you do. I use your content as my go to reference point – be it mood board; my daughter’s bedroom, styling a coffee table, or currently, buying a bar cart. Forget pintrest, I come straight here ! I love drawing inspiration from your style. Happy new year, I look forward to your continued style / evolving ideals :)
