Deck your halls...

Tis the season to deck halls, tables, trees and mantels. Even the most refined decor can can go awry with the addition of green & red glitter, light up plastic characters and foil wrapped gelt. This season thoughtfully don your holiday home apparel.More, more, more! Fill a traditional tree leaving not a single square inch free of ornamentation.Wreaths need not be reserved for the front door...

...but certainly don't forget it... triple fold!

Create a tiered Christmas chandelier with greenery and a few yards of quality ribbon.
Ice lanterns, a fabulous (& nearly free) perk of white winters in Minneapolis.

Glass beads and goblets paired to create an artistic, yet classy, menorah.

Consider a sophisticated, monochromatic palette of ornaments.
Traditional and beautiful glowing in the reflection of a resting (not hanging) mirror.
Strapped for space? Easily incorporate a small scale fraser fir with enough ornaments to fill a 10-footer.
Modern and youthful, still refined.

Forgo the plastic dreidel and opt for some shimmer instead.

Functional and fabulous. Two great ways to display your holiday well wishes.

Happy Holidays!

Not your grandma's wallpaper...

Wallcovering has had a turbulent existence, coming in and out of vogue. Without doubt it's enjoying a renaissance of it's own. My suggestion is to use it sparingly. Create a little jewel box by adorning walls of a power room, dressing room or study. Here are a few of my favorite bold patterns from Osborne and Little and Designers Guild.
