Small Spaces For Christmas Decor ~ Part II...

So with only 4 sleeps to go - if you're still stuck for some holiday decorating in Part II of my posting for Small Spaces Decorating - you may just find some great nifty quick ideas as well as getting that table decor you've been pondering over for Christmas Day! Take a look, there might be an idea just for you!
Enjoy,
Go Small with Displays
Ornaments have tons of pop -- utilize their glitter and glow for a small-space display. Glue an ornament to a small, round plastic or glass disk. Remove the hanger and tuck in mini blooms or sprigs of berries. Group the vase ornaments on a tray for a centerpiece.


Accent Your Kitchen Windows
Open, airy windowpanes dance with color, thanks to these colorful snowflakes. Hang similar ones in a pattern or at random; add the final touch with a simple swag of greenery overhead

Use Window Space
Simplicity is key for small-space decorating. White pillar candles, placed on a silver tray, add elegance to a windowsill. Two faux dwarf evergreens, wrapped in burlap, add a bit of color to the wintry scene

Make an Impactful Wall Display
Old photos are great conversation starters, particularly at the holidays, and this display takes up only minimal wall space. Start with baby photographs; cut them in a circle, mount on foam core, and arrange in a tree shape. Little space, big impact.
Great Tip: For a great together-time activity, have family members guess who is who in each photo.
Color
A bare-bones tree is a treat for a small corner, and choosing just one accent color is a good way to cut down on visual distractions. For the base of your tree, wrap a small box with a dish towel and fill the base of the box with stones (disguised with a layer of pearl-white ornaments) to hold in place. Add a few more wrapped boxes in a variety of papers and ribbons

Summer Holidays...





Happy New Year to You!
I'm back from our family summer holidays.... but easing into it to say the least! Like most I had a tonne of washing to get through after our wonderful travels , and had to de-decorate the very dead Christmas tree and lovingly tissue wrap the baubles and trinkets away for another year! Wow that Christmas / New Year went by fast...
So I am still lamenting in my summer daze, and wanted to share with you some gorgeous images I came across and others from from a lovely blog I follow from time to time, Brabourne Farm, and Decor8 [you may already know of]. These images just spell summer to me....

Happy Days, I'll check back soon! Enjoy & Happy 2011,

Christmas Feathers...

Not sure about you but our weekend was jammed pack with social get togethers around Christmas and a [3rd] birthday party... and there were lots of decorations to be seen! I love this time of the year - so much fun and such a visual feast!
[Image above] What a gorgeous lux way of decorating for Christmas... These beautiful Peacock feathers sit amongst these gilded baubles in silver & gold and sit elegantly in a stone planter perfectly. It's a fantastic way to add some Christmas flair or if this is the only space you have to devote to the festive season's decor.
What a 'Palatial' way of making Christmas decor fabulous! Enjoy x
