| A Welcoming Holiday Wreath - HGTV Even though I am still not ready to decorate for the holidays due to work (a good thing) I thought I'd pass on some of these ideas to you. Don't be afraid to extend your holiday decorating ideas into the bedrooms in your home. Add greenery - even a small Christmas tree to carry the mood throughout your home. Small packages wrapped in festive paper topped with ribbons and bows can be placed on a nightstand to "season" your sleeping areas. |

What are you doing to welcome guests into your entry way? Don't neglect this important area which sets the mood for the rest of your home. Here we see a small tree swathed in lights and some packages wrapped in holiday paper. You could even place a collection of Santas or other memorabilia on a foyer table to convey a festive feeling. What about a bowl of brightly colored holiday baubles or vintage lights? Remember those package-filled boots in the last post?

Ever think about foregoing your traditional tree for something simpler? Try some tree branches in a vase. To maintain simplicity choose a more neutral color scheme for your decorative items as depicted below.

For a different look above your fireplace, hang a holiday wreath and place a frame around it to enhance it. Your wreath will really be noticed! Another great idea is to purchase a simple wreath and attach fruit to it with floral picks - very popular here in the South. Adding magnolia leaves to wreaths and garland is also very popular because they last so long.
