CHRISTMAS DECOR: Natural Sparkle

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">WHEW!</span> </span> </div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">Done, at last</span></div><br /><br><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />Bit by bit the Christmas decorations have been going up at my house.  In between working on client's homes and other seasonal projects - at long last I'm done..... or, mostly done.  I still plan to put a little holiday cheer into my son's room who will be home from college in a few days, and there's that little tree I wanted to decorate in the family room, and I need to come up with something for place settings for the family get-together.  Seems once I get started, I can't stop.. Someone help me!<br><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Please!</span></div><br /></div><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /><br></div><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />I have to admit I rearranged furniture a little this year to make room for the tree and accommodate my holiday decorations. Sometimes the 'stuff' in our house gets in the way of our Christmas decorating, but most of it looks better with a little Christmas touch or two and that very 'stuff' can become part of a beautiful holiday focal point.</div><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br><br /> <br><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><br /><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5iSEIDxGIZS2c789Afvpy2Yu9vz9S1X8jgR3fpCnRuxs9g5y_y3eR8vDecwHnMMXFPwsKJDd4KVJRGN_huE4tlCR4HObSZ_DzEZ2SAdG3uoEsaFsFfJKG0DYXNYVH72QLzkfR9SRJC30/s1600/IMG_1031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5iSEIDxGIZS2c789Afvpy2Yu9vz9S1X8jgR3fpCnRuxs9g5y_y3eR8vDecwHnMMXFPwsKJDd4KVJRGN_huE4tlCR4HObSZ_DzEZ2SAdG3uoEsaFsFfJKG0DYXNYVH72QLzkfR9SRJC30/s640/IMG_1031.JPG" width="444px"></a></td></tr><br /><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><em>vintage trophy with holiday greens and berries</em></td></tr><br /></tbody></table><br /><br><br /></div></div><a href="http://yournestdesign.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-decorating-natural-sparkle.html#more">Read more »</a>
