Using Fall Decor to Take You Into Christmas

This is an idea that just might save you time AND money. Which of us wouldn't like to have more of both? The holiday season will soon be here, so try these tips and to take your fall look into Christmas.

In the photo at the top of the blog, is a beautiful mantle (if I do say so myself) decked out for the fall season. To change the look to a holiday scene, remove the pumpkins, sunflower and the candles. The garland shown is brown and gold with just small touches of orange. Make it holiday festive by tucking in some pine greenery pics, gold glitzy leaves and tree ornaments in golds, browns, and maybe sage green. Use the same color ideas for candles on the candlesticks. In place of the pumpkins, add a nativity scene or a holiday charger. Can you picture it?

At the bottom of the page is a fall tablescape. For this one, again, remove the pumpkins, candles, and turkey. Also, remove the garland this time. Add in the pine greenery pics on the table top and also tuck in some glizty leaves or berries and some beautiful ornaments. Put a set of two or three candlesticks on the end opposite the floral arrangement and top them with some of our great battery powered candles. To make the floral arrangement look like it's ready for the holidays, add some pine branches and sparkly berry stems. Now you're getting the idea!

You can continue on through the house using these same tips to add holiday glitz to any area of your home. Now all you have to do is put up the tree, start your holiday shopping, get the baking done, respond to all of those holiday invitations.... No wonder we're all exhausted!
