CABINET DECOR This cabinet
in the entryway,
above,
gets an
extreme makeover in
December. “I add ceramic
plates and an assortment of
Christmas ornaments,”
explains Shallay.
LIGHTEN UP Her love for lights
reflects in the colourful hanging
lights,
top right.
“It’s a pain to
store them safely, once the
festivities are over.”
UNCLE SANTA Her cabinet has
a little comer with Santa and
his cronies,
centre right.
“The
Santa candle is metal, the sock
and the snowman, are made of
felt,” she adds.
COFFEE TABLE The coffee
table,
right,
is decorated with
wreaths, tea lights, and pretty
coasters. “I don’t go overboard
here, as the table has to hold
the drinks and snacks too.”
