Simple ideas for Christmas decorating

Each year I seem to do less and less decorating for the Christmas season and what I do changes slightly.  One thing stays the same- simplicity.  There was a time when I went all out and it took days to set everything up.  Now I do a bit here and a bit there as the mood hits and presto, I'm ready. Here's a few sneak peeks at this years efforts. I like to reuse what I have in different ways and I depend on greenery from my garden to add life to the arrangements.This year a can of silver metallic Krylon spray paint has been my friend.  I'm spraying everything in sight.

 This is plastic and was a bronze colour last year.  It was weary from the weather last winter and a shot of metallic silver brought it back to life.  I left a few hints of the bronze showing for variety.  This is one of my all time favourite wreaths.

Directly below it is my flower pot that has been every colour possible. I like the silver.  I also spray painted the stalks of dried goat's beard from the garden and inserted them in a bed of broom.  The ornaments were ones I had on hand except for the purple one.

 
 Here's the arrangement on my front door step.  There's a carport on my house so it works well to protect things from the wind and snow.

 The only addition to this display on my dining room table is the insertion of the amaryllis.  I've had it for awhile and it changes location and has a new purpose each year.

 My fluorescent green berries and beads get a new home in this lovely green,  bronze, and black vase.  The candlesticks are usually in the dining room. It's all very understated.
 
On the picture frame mantle in the family room I'm using a repetition of varying heights of candles  and spray painted pine cones.  The wreath was gold with cream and pink poinsettias from years ago. It took on a great sculptural look when everything was sprayed the same colour.

That's where I am so far.  More ideas later....

I.M.A.N

Kraf tangan

Cuti sekolah sudah 2 minggu berlalu... apa yang anak-anak lakukan sepanjang cuti sekolah ini ... ? masing-masing dengan aktiviti masing-masing... Wafa akan naik ke Tingkatan 5 tahun hadapan..oleh itu kena bersedia dari sekarang... terutama subjek yang "kurang" faham ..seperti Fizik dan Matematik Tambahan ... kena minta tolong Abg Zaid ajar... Ammar sudah habis cuti semester selama 1 bulan..Ahad ini akan kembali ke USIM semula... Mu'adz pula tiada cuti..biasa lah pelajar tahfiz tidak dibenarkan bercuti lama..nanti takut lupa kembali hafazan mereka... perlu selalu mengulang bacaan Al-Quran...Zubair pula akan masuk Maahd Tahfiz tahun hadapan, jadi saya rasa tidak perlu menghantar beliau ke mana-mana program masa cuti ini... kerana apabila masuk sahaja tahfiz, beliau akan selalu sibuk... saya rasa saya perlu beri beliau peluang berehat dahulu... 

Hana anak bungsu saya pula..sekarang berada di kampung ..sudah seminggu mengikut Mak Long nya balik minggu lepas... tetapi minggu pertama cuti, beliau sudah memulakan aktiviti yang hendak beliau buat semasa cuti iaitu kraf-tangan ... beliau berminat untuk membuat kraf tangan menggunakan kain felt dan butang... nak lihat apa yang Hana sudah buat? 
Key-Chain dan purse dari kain felt dan dihiasi dengan butang-butang comel dan cantik!
Cantik tak? ok lah kan bagi seorang kanak-kanak berumur 9 tahun!
Ada sesiapa nak tempah key-chain dari Hana?

Thursday Tip # 10 - A splash of colour

My favourite decorating style  revolves around walls and furniture in neutrals enhanced  with splashes of colour .  This is a very easy style for anyone to pull off.  The colour is usually in accessories, but sometimes it can be in  a piece of furniture.  Let's take a look at several rooms to see how it's done.



The largest block of yellow is the door. It could just as easily have been a chair or an area rug.  The yellow is repeated in a print duvet cover.  A print always adds interest.  The throw is yellow and very textured.  The yellow follows through to the bathroom in the vases, mat and towel.  That's probably enough.  After that there would be too much yellow and it would not longer be neutral and a splash!

The room below has a very subtle splash of pink in the wallpaper and two chairs.  I'm craving at least one other splash somewhere in the room to make it three (counting the chairs as one).  Perhaps it's outside of the photograph frame.

Turquoise blue/teal works with any decor.  We have a colour triangle in this room with the chair, pillows (as one), and art work.

Tobi Fairley loves to use very vibrant pops of colour in here room designs.  The artwork  and ottoman are the most prominent features. but the strip on the drapes and the flowers help  move your eye around  the room and provide varying proportions of red. 

I'm getting ready to redecorate my master bedroom and I plan to use a  soft green with cream. A full post is coming up on this minor transformation.   The splashes of colour do not have to be vibrant.  Check these out.  



Similar to what I have in mind for my own room, Sara Richardson has used soft greens in different patterns on the bed, and then sprinkled several green accessories around the room. 


 The pink in this design is so soft it is barely discernible, but it enhances the gray and off white just enough to make the room interesting. Again, pattern plays a prominent role in how the pink moves around the room.
