Stacking cake plates on top of each other and adorning them with fresh evergreens, glass balls, pinecones, and red berries creates an eleglant and natural centerpiece.
Fill a silver bowl with shining beads, a pillar candle and several medium-sized glass balls.
This would be a great accent to an entryway with a very classic theme of red, white and black embellished ornaments. Set them into a glass urn or on top of glass candlesticks.
This bowl has a unique touch using red, white and green Christmas tree lights grouped into clusters mixed with ornaments to decorate a bowl.
A beautiful bowl filled with beaded garland as a base mixed with various sizes and textures of red ornaments creates a dramatic look.
This stunning arrangement was created out of a foam block to keep the flowers fresh. The arrangement was layed over top with some rectangular glass votives and twigs to add dimension and texture.
Add some decorative candles on a platter with some peppermint candies, pinecones, colorful ornaments and garnish with some fresh sprigs of greenery.
This is a really unique centerpiece idea using candy canes of the base or a red rose floral arrangement.
This is a wonderful twist on your regular floral arrangment, this holiday floral has red and white striped peppermint candies adorning the glass vase.

Paperwhite Preparation
What you will need:
* Black spray paint (for plastic)
* 12-inch diameter plastic garden pot
* Potting soil
* 3 (6-inch) pots of Paperwhites
* Snowflake stencil (purchase one at Michael's or design your own)
* Thick, silver acrylic craft paint
* 1 bag of fluffy, flaky faux snow
* Spray adhesive
* 2 bags of faux ice
* Newspaper
* Tape
* Sponge
* Ornaments
Painting Paperwhites
Step 1: Spray paint the pot and apply a second coat if needed. Be sure to lay newsprint out to protect your flooring. Snowflake Stenciling
Step 2: Tape the snowflake stencil to the pot and dab on the silver acrylic paint with a sponge. Remove the stencil and the tape very carefully being sure not to pull off any of the paint. Faux Snow
Step 3: Pile the faux snow onto your worksurface. To protect your pot from getting adhesive all over it, wrap it with newspaper just under the rim. Spray the rim with the adhesive and then roll the rim into the snow until it is well covered. Plant Paperwhites
Step 4: Fill your pot two-thirds full with the potting soil being careful not to spill. Add the Paperwhites to the pot and cover with extra potting soil to fill in the gaps. Be sure to water to ensure the plants roots will get settled into their new home. Add the faux ice on top and then the decorative ornaments around the base to finish the effect.

Decorating your home for the holidays with fresh greens never looked so beautiful. I love the green stockings and the way this room looks so cozy.
This Christmas tree looks so delightful with its green and white ornaments and all of the beautifully wrapped presents under the tree!
The thing I love most about this holiday decor is how a lot of it, with the exception of the presents and the tree can be left up all winter.
This mantle is absolutely radiant with all the fresh greenery with the mix of brown in the candles.
I am in love with paperwhites, they are so natural and fresh, I could decorate with them all over my home. I really like how this arrangement is showcased in a silver footed bowl and enhanced with elegant hues of cream, silver and white small globe ornaments.
Amaryllis flowers are so stunning to decorate with during this joyous season. I love the way they have been paired with some fresh cedar greens to add a nice touch of texture to this arrangement.
I don't know about you, but I am wanting to unwrap all of these marvelously wrapped gifts. They are so nice to look at though, you almost hate to unravel them. Lesson learned, if you wrap a bundle of gifts that have been well designed, take a picture!

Living in a beach community affords lots of wonderful shells that can be gathered together and used to decorate your home. If you do not live by the beach you can still bring the beach to you by adding some
beach decor around your home for the holidays.
The look of this bedroom is very simple to re-create on your own with a glass hurricane from Pottery Barn. Gather together some tree branches either from nature, or for city dwellers check out CB2 for some great botanicals and some silver baubles.
This oyster shell vessel is very beautiful. If you love this look I have also seen something similar to this for entertaining as a serving bowl for oysters on Pottery Barn.
This garland running down the banister is a very unique and fresh idea! Boxwood and juniper branches have been entwined with starfish in rigging rope.
This holiday-inspired table is one of my favorites! The bursts of red and the balance of all the the centerpieces creates a wonderful setting. The hanging silver ornaments from the chandelier was a fabolous idea and the great thing about it is you can use some of these ideas as inspiration!
Starfish and clam shells look amazing in holiday wreaths, garland and Christmas trees. I love the look, so beachy and natural, I can smell the salt air!

Viva Terra is one of my most favorite places to find eco-friendly home decor. They have the most amazing products and they look beautiful as well!
Blown glass ornaments on a Christmas tree are absolutely dazzling, especially this one from The Purple Peacock Gallery. I have an enormous love for all things hand blown glass. If you ever get a chance to travel to Jerome, Arizona, take a stop in Pura Vida Gallery, they do not have much of a website, but their store is an Interior Designer's dream!
These are some very unique holiday ornaments and a hot trend this year! These feather ornaments can be found at one of my favorite new finds, Jayson Home & Garden.
One of my favorite eco-friendly holiday decor items, this would make a unique tree topper, or would look fabulous as part of your fireplace mantle arrangement. This angel is made from recycled oil drums found at Viva Terra.
Adding beach-inspired ornaments to your tree can be a really fun touch, I love the look! You can find this ornament and much more at Seaside Inspired, a beautiful shop to turn your home right into a page from Coastal Living Magazine!
Decorating your tree with glittery garland and antiqued bobbles can create a really beautiful and shimmering textural effect. Jayson Home & Garden has some very unique finds, enjoy!
