Posted on January 27, 2016 by actwd

White colored Christmas decorations continue to grow in popularity. Many websites and blogs are filled with a litany of ideas on how to use these adornments, and even some clever uses of solid white trees. There are ways for people to incorporate this color into their existing holiday supply, and some ways to start from scratch.

So, what can someone do that wants to add some white Christmas decorations to their existing collection? Some inexpensive ways to do so is by changing out the colored lights and using clear ones instead. Particularly this time of year, they are discounted. Tuck some faux snow onto the branches of the tree, or use it in areas that one would typically put some greenery.

Trading out colored ribbon for white ribbon on the tree or garland can also achieve this desired look.

Using an entirely white tree is also gaining in popularity. It makes an ideal setting for bold ornaments of green, blue, purple and red. Even monochromatic colors stand out against the pale tree. It is also a great compliment to themed trees, making the ornamentation the actual centerpiece.

With the vast popularity of this color theme during the holiday season, there are numerous ways to achieve this look when shopping at an online Christmas shop, and it doesn’t have to break the bank. Just implementing some of the ideas listed above can help achieve the winter look one is trying to attain.

What are some new ways in which people are using Christmas garland? In the bedroom, they are draping it across the headboard or foot rail. If the foot rail has wide slats, people are also tying a small wreath in the middle. In the kitchen, they are using pre-lit garland along the tops of the cabinets or the top of the hutch. This adds just enough holiday cheer to an otherwise dark space. Interior doorways are also getting a makeover. Strands of evergreens are covering the entryways, some lit and some unlit.

This greenery is also getting an alteration when being used in the traditional format. Whether it is on the fireplace mantle, along the stairs, or draping a banister, people are using additional strands to dress it up a bit. Those can be made of pine cones, cranberries, cinnamon bunches, foil threads, balls of various colors, crystals, red berry clusters, and faux popcorn. Depending on what look the homeowner is trying to achieve will determine which addition they choose. An example would be a pine garland draped over the mantle with a strand of mini pine cones, red berries, and cinnamon clusters. Add some rusted stars to complete the country look.

Taking a quick look on the internet, one is certain to find a creative and new way to use this traditional greenery.

Ways To Use A Christmas Nutcracker For Decorating A Home

Posted on November 19, 2015April 5, 2016 by actwd

The Christmas nutcracker has a famed tradition behind it. There are tales of a young boy frightened by the darkness outside when his father would leave to go mining in the German mountains. His father would carve out wooden soldiers to hold their post and keep fearful things away from the boy. Seeing the success of his venture, the father continued to whittle these soldiers to keep the boy company, and in the boy’s mind, keep him safe. That boy grew up to be a father, and he passed his wooden soldiers down to his son. This is how, many say, we have the nutcrackers of today. Oddly enough, Germany is still one of the largest producers in the world.

Many families make a trek each year to see the Nutcracker Ballet, and upon leaving, their child may ask to have one of their own. This starts, what soon becomes an annual tradition of seeing the ballet and collecting a new Nutcracker character. With all of these collections, how can they be incorporated into other holiday décor? If someone has the characters from the ballet, placing them as a centerpiece on a table or along the fireplace mantle would showcase them well, mixed in with garland of gumdrops and twinkling lights.

With a Christmas nutcracker, one should take into consideration the height of each one to determine its perfect use. If there are ones of multiple heights, placing them among a display of greenery as a dining table centerpiece would be a great conversation piece, particularly if each one has unique sentiment or is from travels abroad. Another decorating idea is for a home that has a staircase that is in a very visible location, like in the entryway or foyer. Place a Christmas nutcracker on every other step and drape pine garland with lights along the railing. This is sure to make a dramatic entry.

One caveat can be the abundance in selection. No longer is the consumer stuck with three varieties of trees. Now they have the option to choose from tall, short, slim and stout.

They can also choose their trimmings online — from simple and classic to ornate and delicate. The options here are endless as well.

The selection enables them to choose a coordinating color scheme, the perfect number napkins, placemats, tablecloths, plates and more. They can also choose any ornamentation like a napkin ring or seating card holder.

Buying these holiday items online not only gives various options, but the ability for customization. Whether it is a personalized ornament, embroidered tree skirt with the family’s name, or stocking with a child’s name on it.

Christmas tree skirts that are on sale don’t have to become part of the ugly sweater contest at work. With the vast array to choose from, there is sure to be one that will fit just about any budget and the home’s overall decor. There are a few things to consider before making that final purchase and settling on something less than appealing.

Height: Consider the height of the tree when deciding on the diameter of the skirt. Even Christmas tree skirts that are on sale will have a variety of widths. For mini table tops, there are some that are as small as 4 inches on up to 20 inches in diameter. Their larger counterparts can go up to 56 inches in diameter. This size would be perfect for the 10 foot Fir in the family room.

Style: Does the tree have a theme or particular color palette? This would help determine the type of material, color, and any ornamentation the skirt would have. There is a classic white with red embroidered poinsettias and red trim, a traditional red velvet with the words Merry Christmas embroidered on it, and also shimmery gold and silver fabrics to adorn the base. For the mini table toppers, there is a Santa inspired wrap with plush red velvet and white trim that glimmers.

One quick search and there is sure to be a style and color that will work perfectly. Another benefit to wrapping the base is that it will protect the flooring beneath it should there be an accidental spill while watering, and it will catch quite a bit of the loose needles as well, making for a quick clean up.
