. MAKE IT BIG
Alexandra considers her
walls blank canvases for
holiday decorations. Three
oversize ornaments, hung
on a large ribbon, have
big impact.

DISH DRESS-UP
Don’t forget to add bits of
holiday cheer to everyday
spots such as china
cabinets, cupboards, and
bookshelves. A handful of
snipped cedar in a simple
white pitcher or water
glass is all you need.

TW O -CO LO R TABLE
Green café au lait bowls
pop against everyday white
plates. A small sprig of
cedar gives the place
setting a festive turn.
Alexandra covers
clothespins with scrapbook
paper and uses them as
napkin rings.

LOOKING GLASS
Bright vintage ornaments,
collected under glass
cloches, add sparkle to the
table. Select a few favorite
ornaments and show them
off in a shallow bowl or on
a simple white plate.
