Holiday Inspiration

I wanted to share the inspiration for my holiday decorating this year. Simple and elegant with sparkle and shine!

I love the sparkle of crystal. Is there a more elegant or simple garland than this with satin ribbon and large glass ornaments? Gone are the days of the lush garlands encrusted with fruits, flowers and ornaments. Less is so much more!

 I love to set a pretty table. It adds to the festive atmosphere and will make your guests feel really special. So set a pretty table, especially if it is just for you!

Flowers are a must on any holiday decorating list. Fresh flowers are especially welcome during the cold wintery months. They remind us that spring is sure to return.

An easy garland and wreath decorate the armoire. The fresh green garland frames the window in lieu of draperies.

I love the extravagant look of this piece - candles and beaded garland with shiny ornaments nestled in. Over the top with style.

Tiny white lights under a sheer gauze swag. Simple beauty.

It is such fun to decorate the most unexpected places in your home like a bathroom ledge or a windowsill. Don't stress over what to use, a candle, beaded garlands or even a shiny ornament or two can make it dazzling!

Presentation is everything when you make the extra effort in wrapping your gifts.  With these papered hat boxes your wrapped gift becomes part of the holiday decorating! 

Wishing You and Yours the Happiest of Holidays.
