Christmas Decorating Using a Theme

· Posted in , , ,

I have just finished my Christmas decorating. Yes, I like to get my home decorated for the holidays right after Thanksgiving, so we can enjoy the sights, sounds and scents of this time of year. No snow in southwest Florida, so I still see palm trees swaying outside. But inside it's festive!

My holiday decorations have remained essentially the same for several years, so I use what I already own and try to change things up each year.

This year I selected a beautiful silk holiday flower to use as a theme throughout my decorating...I placed these flowers in different areas as accents to my holiday decor.

My holiday silk flower for the theme

The Christmas tree you see is relatively small and slim...nothing fancy here...but I created an evergreen 'rim' around the tree skirt and added one of my holiday flowers to enhance the look and begin my Christmas decorating theme.




Holiday Village Houses
I took our Christmas Village houses and placed them on a simple accent shelf...adding bits of evergreen and several of my theme flowers, with a couple of Santas nearby. Note also the placement of the houses...I angled them differently and placed them on each shelf to create an interesting display...not lined up like little soldiers. The holiday flower on the top of the unit is resting on some small antique books, to keep things interesting.

My piano was a place where I could do a few things with small white lights, my favorite snowman and glittery evergreen tree, and of course a holiday flower to keep the Christmas decorating theme going.

Piano dressed for the holidays
I have a holiday picture that I love and just couldn't find the right wall spot for it this year. I decided to use it as 'music' on the piano...and I love the way it looks! You might not be able to see all of the detail, but the picture has a snowman in it which compliments my snowman on the piano.

Holiday 'music' on the piano
To continue my holiday decorating theme I placed my beautiful holiday flowers in two more locations. First, nestled amongst some greenery on an end table in the living area.

Then I placed another near my faux wood santas on the snack bar...just enough to complement the trio of santas, but not overdone.

All in all, our home is decorated for the holidays in a simple way, nothing overly ornate or over-the-top. But there is a consistent holiday decorating theme using decor that I love.

Guest Post - Keep Thanksgiving Decorations Simple and Stylish

· Posted in ,


The holidays are fast approachingand soon the scent of turkey, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie will permeate theair. It is a time for retrospect and giving thanks for the good things in life,but also a time of celebration where decorations are in order.

Instead of wasting time and money on inexpensive dollar store honeycomb turkeysand resin pilgrims, create classic and beautiful thanksgiving decorations withlittle to no trouble. Thanksgiving decorations are not highly commercial, butthere are ornamentations that are easily made. Thanksgiving bridges the periodbetween the beginning of fall and Halloween and ushers in Christmas and otherwinter holidays. Celebrate it with stylish decorations in fabulous fall colors.

Color Choices
Fall and Thanksgiving occur the same time deciduous trees start to change fromgreen to earth tones including gold, orange and red. They create a starkcontrast with the forest green of pine trees. Use brown, yellow, orange and otherearth tones in Thanksgiving decorations or go bold and add navy, forest green,burgundy and even a dark purple. Take advantage of complementary andcontrasting colors pairing dark blue with orange or try forest green andpurple. Yellow's contrasting color is purple and complementary colors are greenand orange. Instead of yellow utilize metallic gold colors. Red is complimentedby orange and purple. Red's contrasting color is green, which is more aChristmas combination, so try to separate them until after Thanksgiving.

Keep It Simple
Thanksgiving decorations do not need to be complicated. The cornucopia is atraditional Thanksgiving symbol that represents plenty. Cornucopias are easy tofind and made from many different materials. They are made from grape vines orbasket material and are usually inexpensive yet stylish. Fill the cornucopiawith artificial fruits, vegetables and nuts and place it in a place ofprominence on top of a bed of preserved leaves. If a cornucopia is notavailable just use a basket and fill it to the brim or lay it on its side withthe harvest falling out. If a more dramatic, elegant decoration is desired,spray paint the artificial fruits with gold, bronze and silver spray paint.

Cover end tables or dinner tables with Thanksgiving theme fabric that has theraw edges stitched under. Cover plain sofa pillows with fall flavored fabric.Throw a few colorful gourds on tables to give them a splash of color. Removeregular curtain tie-backs and replace them with fall inspired ribbon. Placepreserved or artificial fall leaves under the regular bowls or nick-knacks thatusually style the room. Hang Indian corn or corn husk wreaths from doorsfestooned with big orange ribbons.

Re-use
Most Thanksgiving decorations are also suitable for Halloween. Turn ceramicjack-o-lantern faces to the wall and keep them up until the end of November.Keep the orange twinkle lights aglow all through two months. Instead of usingorange bows on wreaths and Indian corn, use burgundy ones and use them on Christmaswreaths. Place burgundy or forest green candles on a plate covered withartificial fall leaves for Thanksgiving and replace the leaves with evergreenboughs for Christmas. Fill a large glass container with small gourds,cranberries and nuts and replace the contents with Christmas ornaments later.

Keep decorations simple to allow for extra time needed to prepare Thanksgivingdinner. Reuse decorations for either Halloween or Christmas to minimize storageand use what is available to save money and avoid a cluttered look. With just alittle effort there will be less money spent and more time to socialize withfamily and friends during the holiday.

Using Removable Wallpaper for Your Apartments

· Posted in , , , ,

If you're ever at a dinner party and the conversation lags, simply turn the subject to tiny apartments and you'll probably usher in a few interesting stories starring the legendary studio. The studio has long held its place between the dorm room and more permanent (albeit rented) residences, and rightfully so - a stylishly decorated studio has all the appeal of a cozy cabin in the woods or swanky city loft, only without the high monthly payments and easily overlooked cobwebs.

Sharing a dorm room might be the gateway to independence, but renting a studio apartment is the best way to sharpen your clever design skills. Once you've signed the contract for your snug little shelter, start your decorating engine with these five ways to make the best of small spaces with removable wallpaper for apartments:

1. Turn that tiny bathroom into a sanctuary of style. Good news - the smaller your bathroom, the less removable wallpaper it'll take to transform into the most cheerful water closet you've ever brushed your teeth in. Cover all the walls with removable wallpaper and complete the look with towels, rugs, and trinkets. For an even better bathroom, replace fluorescent light bulbs with buttery ones that bounce off the colors to give your skin that just-received-an-Oscar look.

2. Shine a serious spotlight on the bookcase in your living room. It's easy to turn a bookshelf into a visible storage space, but it's equally as easy to make use of all those colorful dust jackets and cover art. Use removable wallpaper to cover the backs or bottoms of shelves and play with arranging and displaying your collection of books, photos, and curios. Use plastic or makeshift stands to show off the covers that look cool against your chic wallpaper background.

3. Redesign your bed, starting at the top. Whether you're the proud owner of a bed frame with a headboard or working with a minimal mattress on the floor, adding a removable wallpaper headboard can do wonders to spruce up the wall at the top of your bunk. To create your stick on headboard, measure the width of the top of your mattress and decide how much wallpaper you'll need to make either a full headboard or emphasize the space behind an existing one. Use scissors to shape your wallpaper and position it where it works best to accentuate your bedding.

4. Award your living room with stripes. To design a stare-worthy focal wall, cover the largest or most prevalent wall in your apartment's common area with striped removable wallpaper. If you happen to like the existing paint color and can find a wallpaper pattern to complement it, carefully trim each wallpaper sheet into even strips and apply it in equidistant bands across the wall.

5. Break up that blank space between kitchen cabinets and counters. Choose a patterned removable wallpaper and use a measuring tape and scissors to snip out spaces for electrical sockets to show through. Make decorative use of the blank space behind your toaster and you'll instantly recreate a room to be perfectly suited for entertaining hungry guests.

One of the best things about removable wallpaper is its portability. Once it's time to move out, peel it away from the wall to reveal the landlord's original paint job. Before picking your wallpaper, make sure it won't damage the wall surfaces beneath it - you wouldn't want to spend extra time and money on spackle and touch-up paint. If you've chosen a reusable brand of removable wallpaper, simply save the original backing and reattach it for transporting to your next decorating project.
