Fresh Approach to Holiday Decorating
Because the world seems to be spinning faster these days, doesn’t a simple, fresh and easy approach to decorating for the Holidays sound delightful?
Here is a prescription that I heard for finding happiness in this life:
Someone to love,
Something to do and
Something to look forward to!
Decorating this Holiday Season can be as easy as “clip clip clip”! You would be amazed at what you have waiting in your own backyard……evergreens are certainly an option, but don’t forget those lovely camellias, boxwood, and of course, magnolia!
You can really do it up BIG with a combination of those three as well: over doors, windows, mantels, and railings! There is something very refreshing about freshly cut greens in the house. Even if they don’t have a fragrance, they will clean the air and look crisp and festive.
And it’s FREE! Communing with your yard is an extra added attraction! If you have neighbors that can’t get out or aren’t very creative, cut some to share, which brings light to everyone involved.
Our Paysage Family wishes you joy, peace and happiness during the Holiday Season!
For a touch of something with sparkle and shine... well, read on and see what the Paysage Santa has in mind!

Star Pendent
Find it @ Paysage!
Antiqued glass that glows silver and gold warms the room and creates a little magic. One star looks nice, but to really make a statement stagger two or three.

Antique Bells

Antiqued metal bells, each with a wooden clapper and strung together with natural twine. Hang them on your front door, drape them along the mantle with fresh greens, or twist them through your Holiday centerpiece.

Flower of the Season:
Evergreen, Magnolia, Bay Leaves, Boxwood, Camellias, and so much more to choose from, just look in your backyard. Whether making a wreath, a swag, or garland fresh greens are where you start. For a centerpiece or arrangement add some berries, large two-toned roses, and maybe even an unexpected succulent or artichoke. Or go with simple greens and a delicate velvet ribbon. Let the creative juices flow!

Hurricanes:
Find it @ Paysage!
We find so many ways to use our various size hurricanes. This time of year we like to put a little something festive in the base such as ornaments or a little faux frost. The textured glass looks snow kissed and you can ditch the candle and place some exquisite glittery pinecone branches for a little extra drama.

Nest Holiday:
Find it @ Paysage!
Some of the most intoxicating candles we have come across, NEST has perfected the holiday fragrance with a fresh and delicate scent. Available in a diffuser or various candle sizes. Might we suggest the small golden votives to add some razzle and dazzle?

Driftwood Garland:
Find it @ Paysage!
We fell for this garland the moment we saw it. It looks incredible on the mantle mixed with fresh greens or even alone with sweet ornaments hanging from it. Best of all, this garland can be used beyond the holiday. Take it to the beach house and mix in with a huge bowl of treasured shells.
