Special Tip: give yourself a break! Adding a bouquet of fresh flowers or plant to a room will give it new life!
It is not important to spend a lot of money or time to renovate your home just because company is coming. Rearranging the furniture will give a room a new look and might even lend itself to a better layout for entertaining. I would not take on any large projects, even if they seem easy and small at the time. Painting a room can be the best way to add new life to a room any other time of the year, but for now, it is too much pressure and stress to add onto yourself at a time of year when these emotions run high anyway.
Here are a few ideas:
• Add a new centerpiece to your dinner table, or foyer.
• Make name placards for your guests that follow the theme of your holiday.
• Use silk flowers to make new napkin rings for each setting. This is much easier than you would imagine! Or buy ribbons and tie them around your cloth or paper napkins to follow the holiday color story.
Anything you do to add to the holiday cheer will lighten up your surroundings and give friends and family the sense of warm, inviting atmosphere.
After all, your guests are there to see and celebrate with you....
