Decorating for Christmas time is my favorite, it's my absolute favorite holiday. Unfortunately for me, my nyc apartment has no room for a big tree so I have a few clever ways to improvise...
I am in love with Christmas ornaments. They are sparkly, shiny and oh so pretty...I especially like the mini disco ball kind. So, this year I will be heading to my local craft store and gathering a bunch of sparkly ornaments. Here are a few things to do with them...
First, I love the idea of tying them to pretty ribbon, (I go with velvet) and hanging them from either lighting, hooks or anything that can be hung from.


Also, because I wont be doing a lot of baking myself, I will use my cake stands and hurricane vases and fill them with ornaments. I personally like to stick with a monochromatic look like below but any ornament colors will do. You gotta go with what you love!


I have never forgotten this awesome art piece done with green ornaments. So chic.

Also...I miss having an outdoor area. If I had a front porch with bench. This is how I would decorate it. Throw in some sparkly ornaments and its perfect holiday decorating.

Ah I love this idea! What a fun way to decorate. I like using ornaments as centerpieces, as well!

So funny, Ashlina, I just decorated this way last night! Usually I have several trees around the house, but this year due to various circumstances decided to decorate with ornaments in bowls, etc + spraypainted the stalks of an outdoor fuchsia tree white so my young niece has something to trim for her annual holiday visit.
Love Christmas season!
I love the ribbon and ornament idea! Very clever:)
Same! I've been mulling over alternative ideas for my little NYC apartment as well. My solution: lots and lots of little trees in vignettes. Kinda my Urban Forest with twinkle lights. Enjoy!
