I chose to keep things light and bright. Lots of gold and silver. The lush green cedar picks with led lit twigs were a lovely pop of color. If the decor was white with lights, it was in! The white poinsettias in gold pots were scattered throughout, as were the glass trees with gold and silver mini ornaments. Even my gift wrap was gold and silver! Almost all my decor is from HSN. I found inexpensive gold decor pillows at Ross discount stores.
Fall Decor
Doesn’t it make you happy to see such a bright and festive room? The mercury glass pumpkins were a Today’s Special featured on Home Shopping Network [HSN]. We also had several options for Halloween that I share in a separate post. I know the table is a bit over the top, but If you want to do an all-out tablescape like this, layer in your crystal glittered and mercury glass items, especially those that have led lights within. If you have garland that lights up, that’s a nice touch too.
Halloween Decor Inside & Yard
My family loves Halloween! We enjoy decorating inside and out in the yard. The festive feel is not only appreciated by us but by our neighbors too. Plus, the joy on the faces of Trick O’ Treaters when they come to the door and peek inside.
Tips, cover pillows in black spiderweb lace. Use loads of white webbing in the yard. I place some inside too. Try to find large, oversized items that can be stand-alone items. For example, I love the Halloween sign that can hang on the wall as shown below, or can be a yard sign. The black tinsel pop-up trees in both the 6′ and the 24″ tabletop versions were fun. How about those glow-face witches? I had a set in our planters outdoors, a set in the yard, and a set inside just below the Halloween-lit sign. Of course, every lit Halloween decor piece I had collected over the years, mostly from HSN, was displayed on side tables and accent tables. The mercury glass pumpkins were from HSN but were also available at Plow and Hearth. All made for a not-so-scary Halloween indeed.
Christmas in July with HSN
After two and half years of Skype broadcasts from home, Christmas in July 2022 was one of the last events to air nationally for Home Shopping Network from our Baker home studios
I like to select colors and a motif that will be the star of the show. White was emerging as the main color. White and gold are always beautiful. I dotted some teal with the velvet pillows and also allowed black and white buffalo check to make an appearance. When I received the samples of the white poinsettias in the gold pots, I knew they would be the main motif. I made the large white poinsettias that are on the trees. I will have to do another post on that DIY project. Also, though my preferance will always be fresh flowers, I used faux florals and winter greens above. I have done some incredible floral arrangements in the past. Look for past posts on my florals and I will also make a new post with more recent DIY floral arrangements for you.
Below is the blank room I started with. Be sure to add your 3M Damage-Free Hooks to hang garland and wreaths to windows, doors, door frames, and mirrors. I have these white spheres of lights, about eight of them, and I place them on the floor behind the sofa to create backlight. It looks pretty on TV when we are filming, but I have chosen to leave them there indefinitely because it looks so great anytime, especially when I have company.
My china cabinet converts to a dispaly case for beuatiful lit snowglobes and other pieces. The back wall of the cabinet is mirrored, and when we were filming, I found the large silver chargers were indeal in blocking the reflection of my hubby cameraman 😉 . Lastly, how about those silver and white pop up tinsel trees? I love them!
Spring & Easter Decor
I really enjoyed pulling together this look for Spring & Easter 2022. Most of the decorative items are HSN’s exclusive collection called Bloom Lane. The bunny and egg Christmas trees are from Mr. Cottontail aka Mr. Christmas, also found on HSN.
I was going crazy with the fresh, vibrant spring colors of pink, yellow and mint green. The wreath and garland really tied everything together. How precious are the yellow chicks sitting on the bright green moss?! I added both on top of a candle holder. The led lit lanterns had a very bright white light inside and illuminated the silver glitter that twirled inside. ALL the florals are faux florals! I put them together and thought they looked incredible. I hope you agree! I found the floral stems, picks, and artificial flowers at Michael’s and Walmart. Of course, I had to add the bunny with eggs inflatable to our lawn. Neighbors photographed their children next to it. Now that was precious.
