Bright and Simple Decorating

I don't know about you, but sometimes I use the same Christmas decorations year after year, and then for some reason, I feel a need to change it up every year.  Sometimes I'm into more subtle colors and then sometimes I want the bright reds of Christmas.  This is one of those times . . .  

 

This is a really quick and simple way to bring a splash of any color into a room for Christmas ~ a clear glass container with colorful balls inside.  These are just inexpensive plastic balls bought at Target last season.

I mixed them with a few red transfer ware plates, faux greens and red berries.

I found this bright red glass vase at Hobby Lobby several years ago on super clearance and it makes such a striking statement at Christmas time.

  

So if you need to brighten a corner for Christmas, try this simple and inexpensive solution.

Warmest Welcome

Although the color is mostly gone now from the  trees outside, it is still colorful inside my home. My sister made and gave me this sign a few years ago with vinyl letters from Uppercase Living.  

  I combined it with some faux fall flowers and dried Sweet Annie and used it previously my front door.  

  This year I combined it with an old black chippy window frame and hung it in my dining room.  

  I love the chippy texture of this old window frame and the fact that I can change it out every season and hang something different inside it.  

  But for now, I hope it expresses my warmest welcome to all who enter here.
