One of our favorite Holiday Decorating projects is creating beautiful table scapes and centerpieces. Our signature PRO TIP is to create the primary centerpiece on a tray to give you the most flexibility to make the table scape portable, maximizing the ways you can use it in your home.
In fact the genesis of our Curated Collections concept was a Holiday Decor project. We were hired to create a Holiday Collection for a new Boutique Hotel. They had many large rooms to decorate and a small budget to accomplish their goal. So we devised a plan centered around Curated Collections of Decor that could be mixed and matched together and able to move from one location to another as needed for events.
This was second nature to us because it is how we decorate our homes for Holidays! So we thought we would share the steps we follow to create this in your own home. We hope you enjoy this fun HOLIDAY-HOW-TO, that will take you through to New Year!

STEP 3 - Identify items in your year round decor that can work into your holiday concept. Clean and move them to a staging area.

* PRO TIP - Photograph your current vignettes so you have a record of where things were in, case you want to put them back after the holidays.
