Decorative Guide: "Keeping the Holidays Decorative"

At this point time of the year everyone begins to ask the question, "It's time to take the Holiday decorations out ALREADY?!" Although, in Arizona we're only beginning our slow climb into the high 60's. Sorry to  those suffering from white backyards and something everyone in the Midwest calls, "Snow". 
So how can you keep your home decorated and festive for the holidays without looking like the Hallmark channel threw up all over your home?
Take a look at these steps:

1. I like to separate the sentimental from the sophisticated (Don't feel like you need to put up every Popsicle ornament your 30 year old son made back in grade school). I think small beautiful trinkets or photos of little John are great around the Holiday Season but not all of them. Pick and choose!
2. Less is Always more (Except when it comes to icing the Holiday Cinnamon Rolls) . Unique and Decorative pieces like the Gold Plated "Noel" sign shown in the image above are a perfect example of bringing a simple decorative piece to your mantel without overdoing it. Personalized Stockings are a must to make your mantel complete! 
3. Stick with a Color theme for your tree and go for it! Don't hesitate when you want to decorate your tree, "Poinsettia Red" this year. Take a look at this beautifully decorated red and silver tree our clients did to their new home for Christmas this year (seen in the image below)! This is the perfect example of bringing some fun color to your tree.
