Decorate Your Nest

The holidays can easily become a nightmare if we try to overachieve.  Been there, done that.... Best advice ever given to me was to decorate wherever you call home for you and your family! So, if you saved those paper plate wreaths that you or your children made in school be sure to hang them even if they have shown a bit of age.  Your home will be more inviting and interesting to guests if it reflects some of your good memories.

This is a a great time to take out family photos of past holiday gatherings to reminisce.  Our favorite is my nephew curled up in front of the fire sound asleep amidst the family festivities around him.  Funny, it has become a tradition .....every year......same spot......sound asleep!

Your Grande Style will be more fun for you, your family and guests if you keep it simple and meaningful to you....So go for it...Find those ornaments you have been collecting, family photos, lots of ribbon, a bit of greenery and have fun decorating!

Coming next.....Before and After......See how to make some simple changes for big results....
