Christmas Decorating For Next Year...
Living Room: Just refer back to the pictures you took last year to know what you did. Also, look back at the magazine clippings you saved for decorating ideas. Specifically, remember to use the wide red velvet ribbon to tiebacks with bells attached. Try something different with the mantle, too. Get some solid white pillows (or other colors, maybe?) and use ribbon on them to look like gift wrap.
Kitchen: Do this up this year. Hang up wreaths with red velvet ribbons with candles like the house across the street. During the year, look for nice red and white fabrics for the dining table. Make some drapes JUST for the kitchen. Again, refer back to magazine clippings. Decorate on top of the cabinets, just a little. Don’t put anything too heavy up there, though. You don’t want the cabinets to fall off the walls!
Front Bedroom: Lots of potential here. Use flannel sheets, red quilt and shams, and the throw mama gave me. Also use one of the the Christmas colored throws from Wal-Mart. Make up some cute curtains for the window, and decorate the top of the piano. Maybe get a nice silk arrangement. Need some extra throw pillows for the bed.
Office: Nah, don’t see much point in decorating this. Maybe later. If anything, a valance for the window.
Front Bathroom: Just see if you can add things to the bathroom. It was okay this year, but I’d like it a little more over the top. Try not to go overboard buying things, though. You’ve already spent plenty on decorations.
Master Bathroom: It was lovely last year; there’s not much room for improvement. Look for silver bows or poinsettias for the garland over the mirrors. Maybe white or light green towels with silver trim? White or silver mats would be pretty cool, too. Just keep an eye out for little extras. You did it up right last year.
Master Bedroom: So much potential here! Maybe wrap bedposts with ribbon, garland on the canopy, lights wound up in the garland? Keep an eye out for a Christmas quilt. Put up small tree on table in corner, if you still have it, and that’s the dog tree. Refer to the magazine clipping for ideas here. Just need little knickknacks on the drawers, maybe some Christmas-colored rugs on the floor? If you get new lamps for the nightstands, paint up some shades! Maybe decorate with beads? Need a tablecloth for the table in the corner, and a tree skirt for the “dog tree”. Think about this and be creative! Maybe appliquéd felt bones?
