3 FAST & FESTIVE APPETIZER IDEAS

Veggie Tray with a Holiday Twist 
ThinkstockPhotos-501126880
Grab bags of pre-cut broccoli, cauliflower and a pack of cherry tomatoes. Arrange broccoli on a platter in the shape of a tree. Add rows of cauliflower to look like garland. Place cherry tomatoes throughout to look like ornaments. Take a slice of cheese and cut into a star for the top. If you prefer, shape veggies into a wreath.
Reindeer Cheese Ball
Grab two packs of cream cheese, softened at room temperature and a bag of pretzel sticks. Take out 15-20 sticks and set aside. Crush the rest. Mix several handfuls of crushed pretzels into the cream cheese. Shape into a ball. Roll the ball in the remaining crushed pretzels to fully coat. Take the whole pretzel sticks and place on top to look like reindeer antlers. Serve with crackers, veggies, pretzels, chips or your favorite crunchy snacks. 
Cucumber Bites with Veggie Cream Cheese 
ThinkstockPhotos-125799241
Use 2 packages of cream cheese, softened at room temperature. Put 4 peeled carrots, 4 sprigs of scallions (green onions) and 4 radishes in a food processor. Finely chop, but do not puree. Mix them and 1 tablespoon of white ground pepper into the cream cheese. Spread on sliced cucumbers and serve chilled. Use the cream cheese to dip vegetables or spread on bread and crackers, too.

3 PARTY ACTIVITIES

Holiday Tune Charades 
ThinkstockPhotos-87566604
Write down the titles of holiday tunes on index cards. Mix them up in a bowl and play charades. Hours of fun are in store as you watch friends and family act out the songs.
Name That Tune, with a Twist
Write down the name of a holiday tune. Give each guest a card as they arrive and a jingle bell. Each time someone says a word from the song title, the guest has to ring their bell. As the night goes on, everyone tries to guess what song each person has.
Holiday Memories
ThinkstockPhotos-82803388-1
Have children? Cut construction paper into strips two inches high and eight inches long. Have each child write something wonderful that happened this year. Write some of the things that made you proud of your child this year. Loop the strips together into a chain for each child. It can be used as a decoration. Do it every year and give them to your child when they grow up. It will be a treasured memory for years to come.

With snowflakes, cozy blankets and other winter delights come dark, dreary days. While a gray and gloomy sky can make you want to close the curtains and cuddle up in front of the TV, even the homiest of home bodies can start to feel snowed in. Rather than succumb to the winter blues, you can apply a few simple design tricks to make your home feel lighter and brighter.

Pretty Pendants

Lights
Fans of eclectic design will love the look of mixing similar but slightly different pendant lights. We’re especially fond of combining our Ichiro Pendant Lights — the open-work design allows maximum light to shine through. In turn, you get a cool, contemporary look and a bright and shiny space.

Two Timing

Rishona Table Lamps
Looking for a way to get more bang for your buck? Check out our Rishona Table Lamp Set. The white shades ensure a crisp glow while the metallic bases bounce light throughout the room. Looking for more ways to incorporate metallics into your decor? Click here for more bright ideas!

Triple Threat

Sheriel Floor Lamp
For larger rooms (or those with dark corners), we’ve found that using multi-directional floor lamps can work wonders. OurSheriel Floor Lamp has adjustable arms and necks, allowing you to shine a little light wherever you need it most.

Nice & Natural

aerial51-1024x683
If you’re after a warm and cozy glow, try turning off the lights and lighting some candles. We’re slightly obsessed with the DIY candles Erin recently made on Francoise et Moi. Not only do they provide soft, natural light, but they also smell like pure Christmas. What could be more cozy than that?

SO LONG, SOFA: 5 CONSIDERATIONS WHEN CHOOSING A SECTIONAL

If you love sacking out in front of the TV, entertaining guests or bringing the whole family together, no wonder you’re considering upgrading to a sectional. Of course with so many factors—from cost and configuration options, to features and fabrics—you might well be hesitant to put a sectional in your shopping cart. Go through Ashley Furniture Clearance Sales 70% OFF to choose favorite sofa.

Things to consider when shopping for a sectional:

#1 Get more for less. 

Though purchasing a sectional is by no means a small investment, consider how much money you might save by opting for a sectional rather than individual seating pieces (e.g., a sofa and recliner plus an accent chair). With a sectional, you can get it all in one, maybe even for a lot less.

#2 Maximize your space. 

Thanks to their clever designs and multitude of configurations, sectionals are great at utilizing space. Consider how well they fill unused corners of the room, given components including wedges and “cuddlers” that put seating at an angle for added form and function.12900-55-77-34-75
By opting for a sectional with a wedge and cuddler, you can enjoy style from every angle. 

#3 Think big, and small.

Don’t assume that you need a large room for a sectional. Sofa-chaise combos are ideal for tight spaces. And they look great flanked against a wall, which is essential in narrow rooms. Some sofa-chaise options even include pull-out mattresses, making them perfect for impromptu guest rooms.chaise sofa sleeper
A small but mighty sofa chaise with a pull-out mattress can provide the most bang for your buck yet take up the least amount of space.

#4 Find what fits. 

From minimalist 2-piece versions, to 6-piece options with power reclining, storage consoles and cup holders…sectionals offer endless considerations. Most importantly, before you buy: measure your space very carefully. Don’t forget the wall space requirements for reclining pieces and the room needed for an ottoman/coffee table. 56701-58-57-19-77-46-97-T477
Recline by design. Some sectionals include recline seating both on the end units and within the interior for maximum comfort, with the option of power reclining.

#5 Suit your lifestyle.

Consider the sectional’s arm style, too. High, rolled arms, for example, create a cozy, “sheltering” look, while low-track arms are better for a sleeker, more open style. And what about the fabric? Is it kid friendly? Pet safe? Are you sure you want to go with a pale upholstery for light, bright sophistication or should you opt for a dark chocolate that’s more forgiving in a spill-prone household?31901-56-6624302-55-77-56-08-T613
From cozy and sheltering, to clean and lean. Elements such as arm design and upholstery dramatically influence the “mood” of a sectional. Shopping with Ashley Furniture Clearance Sales 70% OFF.

GOING FOR GOLD: DECORATING WITH METALLIC GOLD ACCESSORIES

 Much to our delight, metallics are having a moment! Glistening gold—and even brassy bronze—are back in a very big way. Yet, despite the glam factor you get from going gold, many homeowners shy away from the trend for fear that their homes will look like Liberace’s. So how can you get the look without going overboard? Keep reading!

Twice as Nice

Sarice LampShannin LampOne of our favorite designer tricks is pairing metallic accents (gold, especially!) with bright lights. Our Sarice table lamp has a hammered metal base that almost twinkles when the light hits just right. Not only does this twinkling effect draw the eye in, but the metallic finish reflects light throughout the space. If your aesthetic is more vintage or eclectic, you might prefer our Shannin table lamp. The antiqued finish—which resembles always on-trend mercury glass—has an almost mirrored effect, creating a gorgeous gold glow.
Scalloped Mirror
Sunburst Mirror
You can achieve a similar result by placing our scalloped mirror  or sunburst mirror opposite a window. The mirrors reflect natural light throughout the space, creating a bright and cheery atmosphere. Like with the lamp bases, the metallic frames seem to sparkle when they catch the light. With either a lamp or mirror, you get the effect of having several golden accents in the room with only one metallic piece. No Liberace here!

DIY Gold Accents 

img_3305
Looking for a quick, inexpensive way to get your gold fix? Take a look at the DIY Project Erin made on Francois et Moi. She transformed a thrifted tray into a rich-looking accent with metallic gold spray paint! Now there’s a bright idea.
Have you tried your hand at creating your own golden accents? Any tricks for decorating with metallic accessories? We’d love to hear all about it in the comments below!
