A Few of My Favorite Things!

This Season these were a few of my favorite things!

 

Our Own Version

Here is what we did to display our cards and wrap up our gifts.  This is just the beginning! 

The pine cones and branches our from our first real tree! I just added a little glitz to them.

Tis the Season

Well we had our first holiday party, and it was success! Here is some of our decorations. We had so much fun putting everything together. Its the best time to get creative. (Puppy makes a cute accessory as well in the picture)

Whats the Problem?

 

 

What are some of the most common mistakes people make when doing their own decorating?

 

 

Color schemes are too bland

 

Fabrics and colors are not repeated throughout the room

 

Pictures are placed too high on the wall

 

Collections are not displayed together

 

Creating an uncomfortable conversation area

 

Badly lit rooms
 

Awkward traffic patterns

 Furniture of different height
 

Rooms that are off-balance

 Ignoring a focal point

 Improper use of accessories

Ineffective use of artwork

Poor furniture placement

 

 

 

 

 

Wrap it Up

 

When it comes to wrapping gifts, we all want them look perfect even though they are being ripped through. Its all about presentation. This year I promised myself I would wrap all my gifts early and place them under our tree for decoration. Here are some ways I will be wrapping my gifts this year. Let us know if you try any or if you have a fun way to wrap presents as well. We would love to share.
