MOUNT SINAI, New York, Nov. 20, 2007 /Creative Home
Expressions/ -- To help keep your decorating simple yet
seasonal, Kathy Passarette of Long Island, New York based
Creative Home Expressions, a interior decorating, home staging
and redesign firm, offers these tips:
Clear glass vases from Pottery Barn (starting at $24) or
apothecary jars from decorator discount stores such as Home
Goods (starting at $12.99) offer a wealth of opportunity for
decorating. Fill these creative “blank canvases” with Faux
Cranberry Vase Filler from Pottery Barn for $14, German
Glitter Stars Vase Filler for $19 or Pinecone Vase Filler for
$14. These make a great statement and give you a seasonal
touch without being overwhelming.
FLOR carpet tiles from InterfaceFLOR allow you to make your
own runner, doormat or area rug just for the holidays. These
innovative and colorful carpet tiles come in Spiroflake and
Tannenbaum specifically for this time of year. When the
holidays are over, take it apart and pack it away for next
year.
Fill a wall with a temporary holiday greeting or favorite
quote, like “Every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings”.
Wonderful Graffiti has pre-made quotes or you can create your
own. These removable transfers will come right off after the
holidays. You may like them so much you’ll leave them up year
round. Visit them at

You can pick up a set of 6 glass chargers at Target for
$35.99. Showcase your existing china by placing it on top of
these chargers. Target also carries holiday themed chargers if
you want to add a little seasonal touch to plain china.
Two of Ballard Designs Preserved Boxwood Topiaries and a
little ribbon get your mantel set for the holidays. This
simple touch adds a festive look, and when the holidays are
over, just remove the ribbon.
Slipcovers are a great way to dress up your furniture for
the holidays. From dining chairs to sofas you can find
something in every price range at Surefit Slipcovers, Linens
‘n Things and JC Penney, to name a few. They can be temporary
touches or full-time fix-ups.
These quick and simple decorating tips can help you get
through the hustle and bustle of the holidays, so you can
enjoy more time with family and friends.
