Modernize Your Home Holiday Decorating

Isn’t that wreath spectacular? Danielle from 100 Layer Cake made it using a wreath frame and found branches from her neighborhood magnolia trees. She spray painted the green side of each leaf with gold and then assembled it using wire. And she claims it’s really not as complicated as it looks. Amazing!

Jillian created the garland for the mantel using styrofoam balls she spray painted with copper, gold, and silver. She strung them using a needle and heavy string and then hung them from teeny nails hidden behind the drop of her mantel.

Cute party shoes, no? Clearly the fashion at a holiday party in a home with modern decorations like this would be bold and sparkly.

Love the illustrated ornaments for an easy little project to dress up any part of your house this time of year. Jillian drew them and guess what? You totally can too!

See, you grab a champagne cocktail from the Bubbly Bar and then make your way over to the fireplace and warm yourself in from of faux bois logs! It’s so perfectly modern.

Love Amanda’s sequin polka dot top? It’s from J. Crew and you can have your own if you grab one while they’re still in stock.

And a vintage aluminum Christmas tree, natch! We dressed it in vintage ornaments from Kristina’s grandma’s collection. There’s something so wonderful about vintage Christmas, isn’t there?

That is definitely a whole new look to x-mas. It kinda looks like Easter in December. Thanks for including the pictures.

The stress is an automatic reaction of the organism to a dangerous situation, whether a disease, a responsibility, a plane ride

Love the gold magnolia leaf wreath for the Holidays as an alternative to evergreen designs. Might try adding some themed ornaments too.

Also like the refreshments. Can't go wrong with a bubbly bar and champagne cocktail choices. Always a favorite.

It just goes to show that with a little creativity and time, you can create pieces for your home that add character, and look like you just paid a substantial sum of money to have.

Like the gold bullion magnolia leaf wreath for that Trips rather than time tested styles. May possibly test incorporating some designed decorations as well. Also love the beverages. Can't get it wrong using a bubbly nightclub and bubbly cocktail options. Continually a popular. http://homedecorin.com/chritsmas-bathroom-decor-ideas/
