Holiday decorations are all about the cup running over. We ward off the spectre of lean and dark times with a celebration of abundance and light. However, we know this season Santa seams a bit slim for many so here’s some ideas to make relatively inexpensive materials affect a more luxe appearance.

The image above inspired the installation in my own living room (following).  A great example of grouping inexpensive items to inspire abundance.

Found objects can even be incorporated into holiday cheer.  Simple ribbon tied to a twig inspired us to create our own grand statement in the studio using this great branch and simply folded ornaments from news paper.

From my own garden. No need to spend a bundle on topiary. When seasonally sensitive plants are brought inside to weather the winter, I like to use simply arranged clippings to take their place.
