Xmas tree decor

Now that we are all stuffed with turkey and mashed potatoes, its time to get some exercise and what better way than breaking out the Xmas decorations. I find there are two personality types when it comes to tree decorating. Those that favor the Homemade Ornament type:                                                                              

Versus the Color coordinated/matching ornament type:

For those that know me, I am definitely the second type. The biggest compliment someone can give me is to say "Wow! It looks like it came out of a magazine!"

Here are a few trees that I personally designed and decorated. Enjoy!

How to Have a Happy Holiday Table

1. Don't take yourself too seriously. Seriously.

2. Remember that there's no such thing as "perfection."

3. Relax. Don't be afraid to try something new and use unusual items as centerpieces- keep it clean and make sure it doesn't crawl.

4. For my "tablescape" and dining room design, the most important theme of this holiday is....LOVE! Christmas in particular is all about the gift of love. Share it with your family and friends. Keep it simple and Lighten up!
