Showcase your mantel this year in a fabulous way by mixing in lit garlands, beautiful floral stems, ornaments and more. Get creative with your accessories and have fun! Beautiful stockings can set the tone for the holidays, and will be treasured by your family for years to come. We like to make patchwork stockings with lush fabrics, trims and jewels with beautiful embroidery. We are taking orders now for custom stockings for next year and we would love to make them for you!
A trick that we like to use is to secure your mantel decorations to a board that is covered in fabric to keep the items in place. We staple over the stems of the garland to hold in place, and then weave in the floral stems, lights, ornaments and more. Especially if heavy stocking holders are used, securing them to a board will help to keep them from falling if little hands are tugging on the stockings. At the end of the holidays, it is also helpful to wrap the mantel garland on the board to store for next year.
Are you wanting to take your holiday Decorating to the next level? We have some great tips and tricks of the trade that we would love to share with you.
Every year, we begin our holiday decorating for our clients the week before Thanksgiving. It is a fun and festive time to begin the creative process of transforming a home into a holiday oasis. I will be writing a series of blogs over the next 2 weeks to share some of the tips and tricks that we have learned over the years.
The first step is to take the time to go through your existing decorations and weed out the old tired decorations that need to go. Donate them to shelters, Goodwill, etc. Spread a couple of sheets out and lay everything out to analyze what you have and create a "keep" and a "go" pile. Determine your overall desired look- don't be afraid to add multiple trees throughout the house to allow you to use those special ornaments while also having a "designer" tree in another room. Decide if you want garland on the stair banister, around the front door, on the mantles. Make a "wish list" to use for shopping. Take photos of the existing pieces you have to take with you. If your existing artificial garland or tree is looking a bit tired, but new is not in the budget, purchase several pine stems to disburse through it to give it a face lift. Lightly spray with a great pine scented room spray. (Frasier Fir from Thymes is our Favorite) I also like to spray an unscented dryer sheet when packing up after the holidays and toss it in the bin with the garland.
