Adding a beautiful wreath will round out your decorating style.

Wreaths can last all year long; they're not just for the holidays.

Many of us think of wreaths as decorative elements only for the December holidays or for Thanksgiving, but the fact is that a decorative wreath – depending on its style – can add a beautiful touch to your home all year long.

 Many wreaths are designed for holiday use in their colors and materials, including glimmery gold and silver accents and bright, shiny ornaments. Others incorporate non-holiday elements, such as nuts, seeds, sea shells, pine cones, non-holiday themed greenery and more. Also for non-holiday use, think citrus leaves, flowers and fruit.

Wreaths are not just a visual design element. They can add a scrumptious aroma to your home too! For the holidays consider traditional fir and pine. For all year long, think bay leaves, sage, cinnamon, rosemary and chili peppers

.

 And wreaths can be hung just about everywhere, not just on a front door! This includes walls, windows, above fireplaces, even on a mirror in your powder room! Of course, hanging a wreath on the front door during the holidays is the perfect way to get your guests into the holiday spirit before they even come into your house!

 Do you have an unusual space where you want to hang a wreath? Wreaths don’t have to be perfectly round. Sometimes they’re oval, square or rectangular, and that shape can add a unique decorative element to your home

Add a beautiful wreath to your home this season – for now and into the coming year.

Photographic art is just as beautiful as any other form of art.

Tips On How To Display Framed Photos

Display photos can range from super-size portraits of your kids, dogs or a vacation spot to collections of miniature-sized photos of almost any item. With photos, you can
- Tell your family’s story
- Focus on your kids or grandkids
- Pay homage to your pets
- Feature the places you’ve visited
- Highlight specific things you like, such as elephants, dogs, Victorian houses or oak trees.

It’s typical to display photographs in a collection, as small as two photos to as large as you can fit across your wall or display shelves. Photos can be all the same size and orientation, or can vary in size and shape.

Arrange collections in consistent horizontal vertical columns or horizontal rows, or go wild with a random arrangement. You can even angle photos up a stairwell. Equally pleasing are photos arranged on a shelf or mantel, often mixed with other pieces such as mirrors, vases and plants.

Picture your home with a beautiful photography display. It’s a dramatic decorating concept that personalizes your living space beautifully.
