Last Minute Holiday Decor

There is still time left to decorate, don't stop now! Here are some fun, last minute, ideas before the guests come (and before Santa comes).


Instead of my Ball Tree, make yourself a pine cone tree! My mom, years ago, made a pine cone wreath like the one above. Just spray it like this blue color and frame it with an old, unused frame. Great idea.

Got old newspapers lying around? Make a wreath! See HERE

Don't stop with your tree and living room, bring Christmas to the bedroom :)


I am currently coming up with a plan to decorate the chandelier over my table. These look easy and beautiful!
You know how much I love these pretty balls. throw them on a stacked serving platter or even a cake stand and create a stunning look.

Use extra, empty, boxes and wrap them pretty for decoration (or use real presents). Set them next to a bowl of shiny balls or a bowl of pine cones or stand them on a pedestal next to your fireplace. I LOVE THIS IDEA!

ok, this candle idea would never fly in my home. The fire department and ambulance would be there in less time than it took to write this..... attempt at your own risk!

Do up your kitchen sink. Enjoy Christmas even during those nasty chores.

Merry Christmas!

  1. All are very neat ideas...I really love the ornament balls in the stacked serving platter. I want to find one of those. I have ornament balls everywhere...I think I've overdone it!

  2. What a good idea, I have pine cones drying out abit as they were so wet and I wanted to make some christmas decorations with them but didnt know what to make so I might be able to make a mini pine cone wreath. Thanks :)

    All things nice...

  3. Nancy- nothing can be overdone! GO FOR IT!! (plus balls are way cheap!) This year I totally went all out with the balls... next year I think I will go into the more natural pine cone greens look. It's so fun to try things :)

  5. Hi Mikael!

    Great pics, the pine cone wreath looks just like the one I did (except I didn't frame it, ha). Aren't pine cones lovely? The tree is amazing, too.

  7. Looking at your blog-- and your pictures!-- make me want to start a new home improvement project! We're also in a "starter" home, and I did a lot of decorating... before baby #1 arrived! Now, I am getting back in the mindset of more improvements. Thanks for the inspiration!
