Take Me Away On A Holiday

 LET’S GET AWAY!

Are you thinking, what I’m thinking? I love the holidays, but after all the decorations are put away and we bring in the New Year (2013, wow, where has time gone), I would love to get away.

Table Matters: A Little Chic

Setting the table for the little ones is chic and easy cleanup with a chevron paper runner.  The Paper Source makes it fun for the holidays with an assortment of  paper goods to decorate your table and home.  This stunning  gold chevron roll wrap is chic and can be easily used as a table runner or to dress up a buffet. The 50 foot roll is generous to fit your large table for a few gatherings.  I love it to add modern style to wrapped Christmas presents.

Instead of the traditional red and green, I added pink for my nieces visiting us for Christmas, I hope they find it chic and fun.  On another note, this year I decided to try flocking a small Christmas tree for the family room.  Have you flocked a tree?  I really like the look.

Thanks for stopping by.

Table Matters: Lonny Magazine

The holidays are a busy time.  Designing the perfect tablescape can seem a bit overwhelming, leading online shelter magazine Lonny has developed a few simple ways to work with the materials and space you already have to create a show-stopping dinner table this season that will leave a lasting impression.

Follow these ten simple steps to create amazing tablescapes and leave your guests in awe:

1.     Consider a Color Theme: Choose your color theme carefully, remembering that sometimes a burst of color carefully arranged on a neutral background is all you need to create a compelling tablescape.
2.     Use Local Materials: Combine mementos and local materials in order to personalize and create your very own, unique and distinct tablescape.
3.     Mix Styles and Patterns: You’ll create a powerful style statement by combining bold patterns and prints. This technique is fun and you’ll love the results.

4.     Try One Standout Piece: Build a tablescape around a single standout piece. Remember it’s essential to give show-stopping items room to breathe.
5.     Less is More: Sometimes the saying is true, less really is more. Try going for a more subdued display, arrange smaller, subtle pieces on a neutral tabletop.
6.     Throw an Unexpected Twist: Arrange neutral-tone items on a boldly patterned tray to create a surprising twist. This will give off a fun, yet classy look.
7.     Or, Stick to a Theme: Try arranging collections of like items together for maximal impact.
8.     Or, Really Stick to a Theme: There’s strength in numbers. As Andy Warhol proved, almost anything arranged in a grouping of more than six can produce a strong design impression.
9.     Consider its Functionality: Trays, baskets and bins supply easy, functional anchors for tablescapes. Plus, they help you stay organized in the process.
10.  Mix Materials: Combining patterns and materials will create an eclectic setting. When stacking books, place a standout volume on top.
