Un año más con ChicDecóAnother year with ChicDecó

Hola a todos, creo que este será el último post del año. ¿Os podéis creer que se haya pasado ya un año más? Yo casi ni me he enterado! Hoy, como era el último post del año, quería hacer una recopilación de las mejores imágenes del año en ChicDecó. Después he caido en la cuenta de que ya hay una recopilación hecha en mi perfil de Pinterest. Abajo están las imágenes de algunos de mi tableros de inspiración (o como quiera que se traduzca al castellaño 'inspiration board') <ul><li>Si queréis ver mi selección personal, aquí está mi <a href="http://pinterest.com/chicdeco/">página en Pinterest</a>.</li><li>Si queréis ver lo que otros han seleccionado de ChicDecó, aquí esta los <a href="http://pinterest.com/source/chic-deco.blogspot.com/">pins de ChicDecó en Pinterest.</a></li></ul>Hi everyone, I think this is will be the last post of the year. Can you believe that 2011 is now about to finish? It went so fast! Today, as it was going to be the last post of the year I thought I could bring a compilation of the best images from 2011 in ChicDecó. Then I realised that there is already a compilation in my Pinterest profile. Below are a few images from my inspiration boards in Pinterest. <ul><li>If you want to see my personal selection, here is my <a href="http://pinterest.com/chicdeco/">Pinterest page.</a></li><li>If you want to see what others have selected from ChicDecó, here are <a href="http://pinterest.com/source/chic-deco.blogspot.com/">ChicDecó pins in Pinterest.</a></li></ul> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTdd7-FUbFxxcZyzmxKmaD62OOcIze0X8n3zpep00E3eecNIEurzNVSr6EYmQWmK7DVY3-ucS3vgtDFQkBzuJhb5lNuLVovByc2rOD6gtXBSioI3FP5WHP2uPbV54z4NKGcLQ2MWbPKQ6c/s1600/ChicDec%25C3%25B3-blog-decoraci%25C3%25B3n-life-style.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5691851999776360034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTdd7-FUbFxxcZyzmxKmaD62OOcIze0X8n3zpep00E3eecNIEurzNVSr6EYmQWmK7DVY3-ucS3vgtDFQkBzuJhb5lNuLVovByc2rOD6gtXBSioI3FP5WHP2uPbV54z4NKGcLQ2MWbPKQ6c/s1600/ChicDec%25C3%25B3-blog-decoraci%25C3%25B3n-life-style.png" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px;" /></a> El 2011 ha sido un año estupendo, muchísimas gracias por compartirlo conmigo en ChicDecó.

Yo los pasé tomando el sol en la piscina. Es lo bueno (o lo malo, según se mire) que tiene el vivir en el hemisferio sur, que pasas la Navidad con mucho, mucho calor! Esta semana estaré de vacaciones pero hoy quería pasarme por mi blog para traeros esta preciosa casa de la revista MiCasa. Diseñada por la interiorista Miriam Alía, se trata de un hogar muy femenino con una decoración alegre y muy personal. Más fotos de esta casa en <a href="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/grandes/grandes31/grandes31_1.shtml">este link</a>, y el plano también en <a href="http://www.micasarevista.com/casas/grandes/grandes31/plano.shtml">este otro link</a>. Hello everyone! Did you have a nice Christmas day? and a good boxing day? I spent the Christmas day sunbathing by the pool. That is the good thing (or the bad thing, it depends) of living in the southern hemisphere: you can have a hot and sunny Christmas! I'm on holidays this week but I wanted to bring this gorgeous home to my blog today, from MiCasa magazine. It's been designed by Maria Alía, and it's a wonderful femenine home with a bright decoration and a playfull insterior.

Simply fill a large, low bowl with boxwood, pinecones, and white hyacinth. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvzLAHIzpoZZVP1LqXp0byj1jFfsqy4-IxcRq7l5b0VXMtpqqY_SMRFZxOH4aTds7zjdKDln0xnxiLgyIAN-4nx-wsLUT3UC8qflbgR_NkfBKWD4Bc3kQpfG4tmXSh0M5tpRwJ7_MTCQks/s1600/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvzLAHIzpoZZVP1LqXp0byj1jFfsqy4-IxcRq7l5b0VXMtpqqY_SMRFZxOH4aTds7zjdKDln0xnxiLgyIAN-4nx-wsLUT3UC8qflbgR_NkfBKWD4Bc3kQpfG4tmXSh0M5tpRwJ7_MTCQks/s640/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Sugar-Coated Fruit Centerpiece </div> There's nothing sweeter than this sugary holiday centerpiece. Fill an ebony wood compote with artificial snow. Embellish with wax sugar-coated pears, plums, and grapes. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3A8ezMtqUbX4RJuT5efSXDl-4DiSTHP2KAalZbLQXG10dO3Zs_L1vJ4j45y3lJyogZI2GaYBSRLFojzdf_WDeYJLLQxwGp4zDFGt2yxcCRA2Pve-on-q1MSIaex9AQDODSiQRLU26U1mr/s1600/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3A8ezMtqUbX4RJuT5efSXDl-4DiSTHP2KAalZbLQXG10dO3Zs_L1vJ4j45y3lJyogZI2GaYBSRLFojzdf_WDeYJLLQxwGp4zDFGt2yxcCRA2Pve-on-q1MSIaex9AQDODSiQRLU26U1mr/s640/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Winter White Holiday Centerpiece </div> A holiday table is even cozier when layered in winter whites. To make the runner, cut felt by the yard to the needed length and 18-24 inches wide. Trace halfway around a drinking glass at the ends of the runner to create scalloped edges; cut out with scissors. Embellish with punched scalloped-edge circles. On smaller sections of felt, punch more scalloped-edge circles, and wrap felt around oversize glass vases. Insert candles for a soft, wintry white glow, and scatter felt cutout snowflakes across the table runner. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTZAqgqRKwIkyc31xzO7srvludlvctU_x5_5RrX2cpe9WF4KzOZpQWe3Tc1faD8Ksff68H0KXhTfKPxLDfyntVYAU4vyXf1cy0urjPg-bZIhn0qRJun9KDkGKV2rplms00FRNN_GOCkkHi/s1600/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTZAqgqRKwIkyc31xzO7srvludlvctU_x5_5RrX2cpe9WF4KzOZpQWe3Tc1faD8Ksff68H0KXhTfKPxLDfyntVYAU4vyXf1cy0urjPg-bZIhn0qRJun9KDkGKV2rplms00FRNN_GOCkkHi/s640/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Freshen with Botanicals </div> Elevate a humble wooden box to Christmas-centerpiece status. Start by lining the box with dry florist's foam to anchor evergreen sprigs. Attach citrus fruits (lemons, oranges, limes) to florist's picks and tuck into the greenery. Add interest by cutting some of the fruits in half or adding decorative details.  Editor's Tip: Make orange pomanders by using a large needle to poke holes into the orange. Push the stems of whole cloves into the holes. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgODR0YeilRdQ3ARP1-qma4TQ7kLulwo187pJQDJ5QRiQ3jNpK8wClJOpIIbQv4b5n_hXPJzHqvv__Iu1le37EM-fUEd-9husND2NlEZ4XXe0SagT7Tipu3ihc5n2kK1hHx0RjK81UDRX0p/s1600/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgODR0YeilRdQ3ARP1-qma4TQ7kLulwo187pJQDJ5QRiQ3jNpK8wClJOpIIbQv4b5n_hXPJzHqvv__Iu1le37EM-fUEd-9husND2NlEZ4XXe0SagT7Tipu3ihc5n2kK1hHx0RjK81UDRX0p/s640/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">White Gold </div> Large white hydrangea blooms fill a white pitcher (or try a bowl!) with fresh floral splendor. We added seeded eucalyptus leaves and a few stalks of white snaps and filled in with golden holiday ornaments on wires. Fresh green and red apple slices surround the neutral centerpiece with a bright border. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWB4Wb7xODKymxAhcxxecezPkFHa063dlhM9obbslmIOY0-76GeXc1cEicwGC4tPnirm4oNY_U8eSelqO-_0wQIqOhtePHxUId-nQTvTxbKtEDG8CK2qSn-yu6SLHb_V3338MNqSUcU3tB/s1600/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWB4Wb7xODKymxAhcxxecezPkFHa063dlhM9obbslmIOY0-76GeXc1cEicwGC4tPnirm4oNY_U8eSelqO-_0wQIqOhtePHxUId-nQTvTxbKtEDG8CK2qSn-yu6SLHb_V3338MNqSUcU3tB/s640/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Under Glass </div> A clear glass cloche on a platter or tray plays host to a few perfect decorations: one stunning holiday ornament, a few sprigs of evergreens, and a single perfect rose. Keep the rose fresh by inserting the stem into a florist's water tube, which can be concealed under the greenery. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuumXE5N7b8Q3DnzsFtFfZnx3jBQy59m_H0b7nu1BnyrYb9-WV6EPuX4Mdq5dou97AihpcE83waguXk-fZuHW_Ns9z5ndtR6ZNLK_4cC138hbb_0eoFKTozkGsuF2Euardexd_fRuS7Jhb/s1600/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuumXE5N7b8Q3DnzsFtFfZnx3jBQy59m_H0b7nu1BnyrYb9-WV6EPuX4Mdq5dou97AihpcE83waguXk-fZuHW_Ns9z5ndtR6ZNLK_4cC138hbb_0eoFKTozkGsuF2Euardexd_fRuS7Jhb/s640/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Front and Center </div> This tabletop take on pomander balls makes an eye-catching Christmas display. Simply soak florist's foam balls in water and cover with red carnations. Place the finished balls atop white vases or urns placed in a row in the center of your table. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7rgO_txFoq8nlX7Rz1O5Lgci-tpS6eIzQI0RtFBQCo3XkXeeBt7a7glLM84wy9r_7P9_7hk7ilf7s03GvG4FjWhkeMCJ6KhgzuiYoVLqGtt97hczHiRafdbiApN_fJ3JE7HWQZc7_rGcG/s1600/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7rgO_txFoq8nlX7Rz1O5Lgci-tpS6eIzQI0RtFBQCo3XkXeeBt7a7glLM84wy9r_7P9_7hk7ilf7s03GvG4FjWhkeMCJ6KhgzuiYoVLqGtt97hczHiRafdbiApN_fJ3JE7HWQZc7_rGcG/s640/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Glad Tidings </div> For this organic centerpiece, insert a chunk of wet florist's foam into the bottom of the urn and fill with water. Cut each gladiolus stem into three or more sections, with at least two florets on each section. Insert the cut ends into the wet foam, turning the container as you work. Add filler around the base and up through the flowers (we used green hypericum berries and waxflower foliage). <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdpcGtUxIhvNyTLcuZgdnYxeiyS3jC7c6cY3VEcePgnN7WQAnvfsh5NJ2CAsNFAzz3LxqzBBo8qI8UVWVru8Yg7HRkrMWzr02hH21OWp8qaPQG2NOcGWtTmS1TqRSFBrNCUobhP8K15y8s/s1600/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdpcGtUxIhvNyTLcuZgdnYxeiyS3jC7c6cY3VEcePgnN7WQAnvfsh5NJ2CAsNFAzz3LxqzBBo8qI8UVWVru8Yg7HRkrMWzr02hH21OWp8qaPQG2NOcGWtTmS1TqRSFBrNCUobhP8K15y8s/s640/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Relaxed Holiday Brunch </div> This setting for brunch reflects a relaxed country French approach to decorating. The dining room features a red-and-white color scheme as a backdrop. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC0MBpkxb2R_y8pCerUchbGHZUZf4sOnyXkanrBnNCBQI93BqpvQvnFpEB4ey3-EkqsRagNlDFne8dvz2X13yliRPJT4jcdqbDUM43i4Y7bpGZ-QJbaUAr8Wb7HKEdd8rL0b0l2J5ejL5a/s1600/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC0MBpkxb2R_y8pCerUchbGHZUZf4sOnyXkanrBnNCBQI93BqpvQvnFpEB4ey3-EkqsRagNlDFne8dvz2X13yliRPJT4jcdqbDUM43i4Y7bpGZ-QJbaUAr8Wb7HKEdd8rL0b0l2J5ejL5a/s640/Simple-Christmas-Centerpieces-2012-ideas.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Little but Lasting </div> Decorate your table with small arrangements of alstroemeria and birch twigs. We added a filler of beige rice flowers and long, green amaranth seed heads. Find similar shaped flowers at your local florist or grocery store.

Muchos ya conoceréis o habréis leído la historia del cascanueces; algunos afortunados hasta habréis visto la representación de este ballet en alguna ocasión; otros como yo, habréis visto la historia quizás en película, (si, de acuerdo, ninguna película seria comparable a ver su puesta en escena en el teatro). En cualquier caso, la historia del cascanueces se ha convertido en el ballet más representado en Navidad y al parecer ahora también en un icono navideño. La decoración navideña con el cascanueces, bailarinas y juguetes vintage le dan un aire clásico, elegante y culto a cualquier hogar donde exista un interés por la música y el teatro. Es también una manera de acercar este cuento de hadas a los más pequeños de la casa y despertar su interés por los cuentos clásicos. La historia del cascanueces trae romanticismo y magia a la Navidad en casa y estimulara la imaginación de grandes y pequeños en esta época del año. Something that I’m constantly observing in the Christmas decoration in international magazines this year is the presence of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nutcracker" target="_blank">Nutcracker</a>. Most of you already know or have already read the story of The Nutcracker; some lucky ones have probably seen the ballet performance at the theatre; some others, like me, might watch the movie (I know, a movie cannot be compared with the magic of the theatre performance). In any case, The Nutcracker is the most famous compositions typically performed in Christmas and now also a Christmas icon. A Nutcracker theme Christmas decoration, with baillerinas and vintage toys, will bring a classic elegant cultured look in any house, especially if there is some interest in music, dance and theatre at home. It’s also a way to let the little ones know about this fairy tale and bring some interest in the classic stories and tales. The Nutcracker universe will bring romanticism and magic at every home. Let imagination, music and magic fill your home this Christmas! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6DLAoasRUI_OelGSkIxv8fkHV3jChrm4M1bLMS-KudWBC4PmfU5HCXW01P855Yw7MCn9DIsuKJ_jdASKA1Sr-OFEp8kYs1oUR33rNVu8qaCQKlPvjm5MXYVOsCxzfO0N5ogPsLi-W8ZlC/s1600/Cascanueces-Cuento-Navidad-Nutcraker-Christmas-fairy-tale-ChicDeco.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687681491045320626" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6DLAoasRUI_OelGSkIxv8fkHV3jChrm4M1bLMS-KudWBC4PmfU5HCXW01P855Yw7MCn9DIsuKJ_jdASKA1Sr-OFEp8kYs1oUR33rNVu8qaCQKlPvjm5MXYVOsCxzfO0N5ogPsLi-W8ZlC/s1600/Cascanueces-Cuento-Navidad-Nutcraker-Christmas-fairy-tale-ChicDeco.jpg" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 500px; display: block; height: 500px;" /></a> <div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs9h_tB8PpeNbGXLPGa4nVGiRMAtkZlpf0TmRWGj9g_XUnrAhDbGwsPYF5Db-8KjwDdQ3KcdJHifZ7PSpKIiVqujJOkL0KAhVBwGjFMbcPmoe-WcLoA1AqAjWsStt2cug9dDRsmNqInXoH/s1600/Cascanueces-decoraci%25C3%25B3n-Navide%25C3%25B1a-Nutcrackers-christmas-decorations-Chicdec%25C3%25B3-David-Jones.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682644068148128722" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs9h_tB8PpeNbGXLPGa4nVGiRMAtkZlpf0TmRWGj9g_XUnrAhDbGwsPYF5Db-8KjwDdQ3KcdJHifZ7PSpKIiVqujJOkL0KAhVBwGjFMbcPmoe-WcLoA1AqAjWsStt2cug9dDRsmNqInXoH/s1600/Cascanueces-decoraci%25C3%25B3n-Navide%25C3%25B1a-Nutcrackers-christmas-decorations-Chicdec%25C3%25B3-David-Jones.png" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 500px; display: block; cursor: pointer;" /></a>Imagen vía <a href="http://www.davidjones.com.au/" target="_blank">David Jones</a> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVLVsKsZJND9Hkxo1Wqhg2z2-7eUP9n65UdAY6WKfL6xaxLwt6JIXpQphaDhLGS2sAJ8yo-xDKsZbw9nJgO6dO5OLKjCe13HEerjDsFAg4hTbPnmryt5Kvfe8zt17IRA41G1eh_CEQQKXd/s1600/Cascanueces-decoraci%25C3%25B3n-Navide%25C3%25B1a-Nutcrackers-christmas-decorations-Chicdec%25C3%25B3-Decormag.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682644057133288978" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVLVsKsZJND9Hkxo1Wqhg2z2-7eUP9n65UdAY6WKfL6xaxLwt6JIXpQphaDhLGS2sAJ8yo-xDKsZbw9nJgO6dO5OLKjCe13HEerjDsFAg4hTbPnmryt5Kvfe8zt17IRA41G1eh_CEQQKXd/s1600/Cascanueces-decoraci%25C3%25B3n-Navide%25C3%25B1a-Nutcrackers-christmas-decorations-Chicdec%25C3%25B3-Decormag.png" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 500px; display: block; cursor: pointer;" /></a>Imagen vía Decomag </div> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbSdkRkU9VWjC372lpEoMw5YdVdeHLRcnwqTxKqEcif8WXVwL4rFYCk2ogUWZpyZi0duey2OHD-fDgCSkh9jQVBNJm24XaBrcIqxHQZV1RmWOodG1P-ahOPJR9TeMl99IZJuKSjK4WCCBO/s1600/Cascanueces-decoraci%25C3%25B3n-Navide%25C3%25B1a-Nutcrackers-christmas-decorations-Chicdec%25C3%25B3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682644049953175090" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbSdkRkU9VWjC372lpEoMw5YdVdeHLRcnwqTxKqEcif8WXVwL4rFYCk2ogUWZpyZi0duey2OHD-fDgCSkh9jQVBNJm24XaBrcIqxHQZV1RmWOodG1P-ahOPJR9TeMl99IZJuKSjK4WCCBO/s1600/Cascanueces-decoraci%25C3%25B3n-Navide%25C3%25B1a-Nutcrackers-christmas-decorations-Chicdec%25C3%25B3.jpg" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 500px; display: block; cursor: pointer;" /></a> <div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5K9x7Y99gCOyaXlgDl_6afxbFKfFWzdm9LNJBQo7_iK_HSeiVIgAIU_ar4Gjrp8ngTMMGXa3i1qvefdl4tQkhODbKd-3gLL8oledUosviKL7P13kH4W563UsK0WdT_449MeHeUi6z2L_z/s1600/Cascanueces-decoraci%25C3%25B3n-Navide%25C3%25B1a-Nutcrackers-christmas-decorations-Chicdec%25C3%25B3-Living-etc.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5682644048524066242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5K9x7Y99gCOyaXlgDl_6afxbFKfFWzdm9LNJBQo7_iK_HSeiVIgAIU_ar4Gjrp8ngTMMGXa3i1qvefdl4tQkhODbKd-3gLL8oledUosviKL7P13kH4W563UsK0WdT_449MeHeUi6z2L_z/s1600/Cascanueces-decoraci%25C3%25B3n-Navide%25C3%25B1a-Nutcrackers-christmas-decorations-Chicdec%25C3%25B3-Living-etc.jpg" style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 500px; display: block; cursor: pointer;" /></a>Imagen vía <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.housetohome.co.uk/livingetc" target="_blank">Living Etc </a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"></div> <div style="text-align: center;"></div>

Yo, a tan solo 5 días de la Noche Buena, aun estoy en fase de decisión: qué puedo regalar a todos y cada uno de los miembros de familia? qué voy a cocinar el Noche Buena y Navidad? qué le voy a regalar mi amigo invisible? Lo peor de todo es que cada vez que veo el árbol de Navidad sin regalos todavía o los christmas sobre el escritorio a medio escribir y sin sellos, me dan ganas de echarme a llorar... Al igual que existen shopping assistants o wedding planners, deberían existir los Christmas assistants que te ayudan a organizar toda la agenda y regalos de Navidad, incluidos los christmas! Yo contrataría sus servicios hoy mismo! Acabaré de inventar una nueva profesión? Una de mis ideas de regalo para toda la familia en Navidad son las galletas caseras. Las de la imagen las encontré en el blog de <a href="http://cafenohut.blogspot.com/2011/12/kurabiyede-fantaziye-kacmak.html" target="_blank">CAFÉ NOHUT</a> y quedan fenomenal con los lacitos en rojo, verdad!? Son una idea genial para regalos hechos a mano. If there is someone who is not suffering of stress before Christmas yet, please come to ChicDeco and let us know how you did it, what was your secret? Only 5 days until the Christmas Eve and I’m still in the decision phase: what can I get for every family member? What can I cook for the Christmas Eve? What to get for my Secret Santa? Every time that I see my Christmas tree still with no presents or the Christmas cards on the desk without stamps yet I want to cry…  If there are shopping assistants or wedding planners, why isn’t there Christmas assistant or Christmas planners? They could help you with the planning and shopping and presents and even with the Christmas cards! I would be requesting their services every year! Maybe I just made up a new job!  One of my gift ideas for the family this year is the Christmas home-made cookies. These ones in the image come from <a href="http://cafenohut.blogspot.com/2011/12/kurabiyede-fantaziye-kacmak.html"></a><a href="http://cafenohut.blogspot.com/2011/12/kurabiyede-fantaziye-kacmak.html" target="_blank">CAFÉ NOHUT</a> BLOG and they look great with those red ribbons, aren’t they!?

Christmas Decorating 2012 Ideas for Small Spaces

Add something new to your standby Christmas decor. Alongside your sentimental ornaments and favorite pieces, introduce an updated centerpiece or a fresh take on stairway decor, and you might find a new decorating tradition! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrNItBI93uPtFdRSn88Ueh6-Ru4PLMYp2oTk6KpB7EZm1CKb7AFsLYkjcLN5yAhxOg6VjM64_X9HD30GidzQ5EWYpRvGosEq-6G6LL63n78qHB2xst11XiEFnWvE_NumvogFIJ-GgR/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrNItBI93uPtFdRSn88Ueh6-Ru4PLMYp2oTk6KpB7EZm1CKb7AFsLYkjcLN5yAhxOg6VjM64_X9HD30GidzQ5EWYpRvGosEq-6G6LL63n78qHB2xst11XiEFnWvE_NumvogFIJ-GgR/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Add Bits of Texture to a Banister </div> Texture can play a key role in boosting the visual interest of a small space. Here, a simple swag of evergreen boughs and three stockings in three different materials spruce up a short banister. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxt690NEqvHqnuPjhPFI_GNQrHZVdkpwJMWaaGHeYqr4qw1UrejaQ3PhRkT4vy0ft1jvvv_Cl4DErZBxj5t5LvDSPlKia6g40wEe2MpVri_MAiryXSZojajwuhfVhDjQIG9LMiBzM/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxt690NEqvHqnuPjhPFI_GNQrHZVdkpwJMWaaGHeYqr4qw1UrejaQ3PhRkT4vy0ft1jvvv_Cl4DErZBxj5t5LvDSPlKia6g40wEe2MpVri_MAiryXSZojajwuhfVhDjQIG9LMiBzM/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Swap Out Curtains</div> Think outside the box when it comes to your small-space decorating. In place of everyday kitchen curtains, swap in a few spray-starched Christmas aprons and add a cluster of faux trees. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFVlx_vginJA7v-3vHXzEn2t-joiioUQWETTWHq4v8f57dyrAXwKKkJL02wMOVq6JmNj4i-UurxCJoHWAe2k2EODDbpV10MPrjpvVNrx243IoODSLDTGm0M8HkSkVXiYUO5xQV9qS1/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFVlx_vginJA7v-3vHXzEn2t-joiioUQWETTWHq4v8f57dyrAXwKKkJL02wMOVq6JmNj4i-UurxCJoHWAe2k2EODDbpV10MPrjpvVNrx243IoODSLDTGm0M8HkSkVXiYUO5xQV9qS1/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Create a Tiny Village Display</div> Tiny wrapped boxes provide a base to a few glittering paper houses that take up very little space. To make "trees," wrap squares of scrapbook paper into cones and glue the edges; cut off the bottoms to be level. For extra sparkle, place the grouping on a silver tray. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXFTdDE_kL6LFVjSNuaqUdmajBsayn-BvJpDb1tzRBw2-p4vzSxTY-JSEFewzM5yBlW1zG7e4k3LuGMt80LW2e2v_AmnBW3WHI9ee80zJ7F4OfLZjsCbWixiNqT9Bqe-k-5bH5K_F8/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXFTdDE_kL6LFVjSNuaqUdmajBsayn-BvJpDb1tzRBw2-p4vzSxTY-JSEFewzM5yBlW1zG7e4k3LuGMt80LW2e2v_AmnBW3WHI9ee80zJ7F4OfLZjsCbWixiNqT9Bqe-k-5bH5K_F8/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Accent Your Kitchen Windows </div> Open, airy windowpanes dance with color, thanks to these colorful snowflakes. Hang similar ones in a pattern or at random; add the final touch with a simple swag of greenery overhead. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn24MEEO3FvRXORTtorFD20tYxLLzJRXJjj8ZIS-Ao9MqQOu3oyiyeSBN1HrTFZlQTJ0i93ygBv9buIH2K81nrGUhbukPDXpco7cacB709RdrAb7sElc5dDCyHGPIix_m6JXfwDWhn/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn24MEEO3FvRXORTtorFD20tYxLLzJRXJjj8ZIS-Ao9MqQOu3oyiyeSBN1HrTFZlQTJ0i93ygBv9buIH2K81nrGUhbukPDXpco7cacB709RdrAb7sElc5dDCyHGPIix_m6JXfwDWhn/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Use a Basic Tree and One Accent Color </div> A bare-bones tree is a treat for a small corner, and choosing just one accent color is a good way to cut down on visual distractions. For the base of your tree, wrap a small box with a dish towel and fill the base of the box with stones (disguised with a layer of pearl-white ornaments) to hold in place. Add a few more wrapped boxes in a variety of papers and ribbons. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgTpa_7l-V3oKRhyeJqsErezwIqz5a-Be8LsniBpOVWAqRfAOltNOdzMgXxJls-pAZ1s31r5EIUE2IJ3D2PNxrbFsiekN_8CqIm9ZrEepV6_fg3m3tsesIM98kGj5Pk19nEqt2WsYO/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgTpa_7l-V3oKRhyeJqsErezwIqz5a-Be8LsniBpOVWAqRfAOltNOdzMgXxJls-pAZ1s31r5EIUE2IJ3D2PNxrbFsiekN_8CqIm9ZrEepV6_fg3m3tsesIM98kGj5Pk19nEqt2WsYO/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Make an Impactful Wall Display </div> Old photos are great conversation starters, particularly at the holidays, and this display takes up only minimal wall space. Start with baby photographs; cut them in a circle, mount on foam core, and arrange in a tree shape. Little space, big impact.  Editor's Tip: For a great together-time activity, have family members guess who is who in each photo. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXGV5g3lVKu8jeRtI8kIfs3sUgH9e8MOprPyCP3w4gdAfwmaGdcYUzMMaAgBsEk44xYeQzA6KvRHMGe2udCFVHmSnlsP-VTIu22dH3lvkBAuH380C9urcJs9LCQ1bfzUBg0r2LUW65/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXGV5g3lVKu8jeRtI8kIfs3sUgH9e8MOprPyCP3w4gdAfwmaGdcYUzMMaAgBsEk44xYeQzA6KvRHMGe2udCFVHmSnlsP-VTIu22dH3lvkBAuH380C9urcJs9LCQ1bfzUBg0r2LUW65/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div> <div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Decorate a Tabletop Tree</div> Even if you have more expansive spaces, a small tree can add charm and whimsy to small rooms, such as an entry. Tuck a small tree in a bright container and string garland and ribbon ornaments as well as a few round ornaments. Include accents that are similarly scaled down, such as small presents or containers of candy canes. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiezw72vQVJHCltnL8GIPgDWOGM0a6XgBBwxSLnqvyF0bNpSI5EUrSOoiYFYxSIt5UoissLSdARm9n-6FcP79aA0fMiV0O88R3XxOEZ5PgIbiDLMz2ZUe-3cU4YPk1JLmAtAvciIjXt/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiezw72vQVJHCltnL8GIPgDWOGM0a6XgBBwxSLnqvyF0bNpSI5EUrSOoiYFYxSIt5UoissLSdARm9n-6FcP79aA0fMiV0O88R3XxOEZ5PgIbiDLMz2ZUe-3cU4YPk1JLmAtAvciIjXt/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div> <div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Craft a Mini Tree</div> There's no need to overdo accents in downsized spaces. Go for impact, such as this tiny twinkling tree, made by drilling tiny holes into a stick and inserting lengths of pipe cleaners. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBaX1b0xFhv5qjcxjo43D-rW5RqRpCST89DuJtreICzJoLTNShiuAeJY5uuzKB5XKfMFai-l51nPEEVtwYG2ZRagKh5IrPUELJnga-EJJXWdN9hj82yVjariui_3nw6AJOfpG4c1rG/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBaX1b0xFhv5qjcxjo43D-rW5RqRpCST89DuJtreICzJoLTNShiuAeJY5uuzKB5XKfMFai-l51nPEEVtwYG2ZRagKh5IrPUELJnga-EJJXWdN9hj82yVjariui_3nw6AJOfpG4c1rG/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div> <div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Play Up Your Dining Room</div> Look to your dining table to display holiday merriment. A tiny wrapped box offers a warm welcome at a place setting. Best yet? It fits inside a teacup.

2012 Christmas Decorating Ideas for Small Spaces

There's no need to downsize your holiday expectations with a small space to decorate. Our space-saving ideas bring the merriment of the season into even the tiniest corners. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaDGiLwtm0TBzvLqwkhZo-xpPbXbeA87p63aOaQl7kuPW1y-DkkyxqDX92Ze5QuUYN-qsv0Fpg0jPB_fu9gB-BtvNdPx_xsVzCJcPaDuyAZT_w37Pr8DPC-imlpf5WP-P7eligEFhB/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaDGiLwtm0TBzvLqwkhZo-xpPbXbeA87p63aOaQl7kuPW1y-DkkyxqDX92Ze5QuUYN-qsv0Fpg0jPB_fu9gB-BtvNdPx_xsVzCJcPaDuyAZT_w37Pr8DPC-imlpf5WP-P7eligEFhB/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-11.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Go Small with Displays</div> Ornaments have tons of pop -- utilize their glitter and glow for a small-space display. Glue an ornament to a small, round plastic or glass disk. Remove the hanger and tuck in mini blooms or sprigs of berries. Group the vase ornaments on a tray for a centerpiece. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwdLJ9N9i4tyXBnJ18h6CHuYSFzGAFhyphenhyphenIh_WYcwAPh1bjL-c2ohJHUHNsJLh6u0WC-PdSEp7hTEjD7GJOccoKIlGxQfZvmUT9PXhhfE__VUlmn7TmFfCB-k4Gh_vXZ-wK65HPfn94G/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwdLJ9N9i4tyXBnJ18h6CHuYSFzGAFhyphenhyphenIh_WYcwAPh1bjL-c2ohJHUHNsJLh6u0WC-PdSEp7hTEjD7GJOccoKIlGxQfZvmUT9PXhhfE__VUlmn7TmFfCB-k4Gh_vXZ-wK65HPfn94G/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-10.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Enhance a Chair</div> Instead of leaving extra chairs empty, place beribboned packages on, under, and around them for a small-scale version of under-the-tree package bonanza. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEV1C77XpmBNkFGbUUpbzb4dMVpKqPOTFAiO9fOVlF9N1BkdC55rPUmNxNVxIsOXVKh_yTE3uo7PbRyjayl99wCw2TJjncZesu8SdDQOYwtZV_XaUhay7vZOvgN6B5N63Z6KnbGEDn/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEV1C77XpmBNkFGbUUpbzb4dMVpKqPOTFAiO9fOVlF9N1BkdC55rPUmNxNVxIsOXVKh_yTE3uo7PbRyjayl99wCw2TJjncZesu8SdDQOYwtZV_XaUhay7vZOvgN6B5N63Z6KnbGEDn/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Use Window Space</div> Simplicity is key for small-space decorating. White pillar candles, placed on a silver tray, add elegance to a windowsill. Two faux dwarf evergreens, wrapped in burlap, add a bit of color to the wintry scene. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbju-pMMgTf8kJ4guG1100n1TxkaZKcLgFY4nvmo_7YQR7KIpYiUCQhbXAW0PzOcApDt1-wSxiKcKFjnPVCQYio9ZmxooUohsEdqQjzKYx_JDrAsuCsgpSmED66E7smNbCR5H_iFCx/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbju-pMMgTf8kJ4guG1100n1TxkaZKcLgFY4nvmo_7YQR7KIpYiUCQhbXAW0PzOcApDt1-wSxiKcKFjnPVCQYio9ZmxooUohsEdqQjzKYx_JDrAsuCsgpSmED66E7smNbCR5H_iFCx/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Decorate with Small Wreaths</div> Large and impactful are typical design credos for wreaths, but small can be equally as mighty. Hang a mini wreath with a velvet or satin ribbon from shelves or drawer pulls. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXvyw9WxVUg1E4afzkAbYXrDj6C9zum2Hf7wIiwJQHrKZwkHb5i02MVcltO08WWiI45mdndUKm1wyt3dP-T76kxowv557DAx6hkOV1REGaAMJCXa_6tyFv1oACfz3xu2vVXwcV8-uy/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXvyw9WxVUg1E4afzkAbYXrDj6C9zum2Hf7wIiwJQHrKZwkHb5i02MVcltO08WWiI45mdndUKm1wyt3dP-T76kxowv557DAx6hkOV1REGaAMJCXa_6tyFv1oACfz3xu2vVXwcV8-uy/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-6.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Fill a Corner </div> Nooks, crannies, shelves, bookcases: All are great spots for diminutive seasonal decor. If there's no space for a full tree, put a single dwarf version -- with a few presents -- on a midheight shelf. In place of lights, decorate with small-scale ornaments. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Z1b-YM5iQHDmGVhWkhvrOQlmA3Og8qBkXni4LB0USquKZzr3v1xm2Apu98g-chmSMeRH8TCr_mOLaF1fCBLrV2k-dd5L8URTpUCWWfxDGG6nd6HmXCCft0rEJaQvX_BZu68KjQHP/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1Z1b-YM5iQHDmGVhWkhvrOQlmA3Og8qBkXni4LB0USquKZzr3v1xm2Apu98g-chmSMeRH8TCr_mOLaF1fCBLrV2k-dd5L8URTpUCWWfxDGG6nd6HmXCCft0rEJaQvX_BZu68KjQHP/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Fabricate a Faux Tree</div> If you don't have space for -- or just don't want -- a real tree, you can get the same feel with this evergreen idea. Start with a wide branch; hang on a hook from the wall and decorate with treasured ornaments. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_s-LMWtPVXx9ce7QhCxQzOAaBdD3WecMyfiNG-uheJqVCJ3f5ugdDN6ZU2Z0h3hRmsKGIlP4mniWXUs5RWNJEKtKZ06BcQZ90witYtCyd4VSbz3E_XSLPLLrABzPK029kVVfK4zYt/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_s-LMWtPVXx9ce7QhCxQzOAaBdD3WecMyfiNG-uheJqVCJ3f5ugdDN6ZU2Z0h3hRmsKGIlP4mniWXUs5RWNJEKtKZ06BcQZ90witYtCyd4VSbz3E_XSLPLLrABzPK029kVVfK4zYt/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Create a Hanging Window Display </div> Look out on something pretty -- a basic painted frame strung with ribbon and hung with ornaments jazzes up a window and requires zero rearranging. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGGe-1CiZvBrDpZpa6hpS0_PSD1CdswFkvUazADVDpZBm1sUi4n6O9DGRunGqUeCrNbkmSle-pWnX69IBOCzZLYCEQtYNUFFk65CgOaQf7QMZ7OuCxTj9CuNGfxodPhYm8Abcy1F8k/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGGe-1CiZvBrDpZpa6hpS0_PSD1CdswFkvUazADVDpZBm1sUi4n6O9DGRunGqUeCrNbkmSle-pWnX69IBOCzZLYCEQtYNUFFk65CgOaQf7QMZ7OuCxTj9CuNGfxodPhYm8Abcy1F8k/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Use Space by the Stairs </div> A small table by the stairs is a prominent small-space spot to start your Christmas merriment. Add a little, lightly decorated tree and a modest display to the tabletop. To give the evergreen a bit of height, place in a tall silver vase. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8hlqiGQx8Yg0YKQC2akVBcHxzFhlb1Q5e0d2JK74r-m-n230cY0XQcm5Yt1VhgxFEho5OXc1wX7ecZmgOETmYtYP3KHDSWmlmp2hCsJlGO66yFigVXoOEbkXja9mx9ppoJBVY_6Su/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8hlqiGQx8Yg0YKQC2akVBcHxzFhlb1Q5e0d2JK74r-m-n230cY0XQcm5Yt1VhgxFEho5OXc1wX7ecZmgOETmYtYP3KHDSWmlmp2hCsJlGO66yFigVXoOEbkXja9mx9ppoJBVY_6Su/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div> <div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Brighten a Hanging Picture</div> You've already decorated your home with personal pictures -- give them a holiday touch with a sprig of evergreen. No special crafting tools required. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJaUvP6EuJU9K-V-CE8RGDjSgiTawrUgxCdrPxsAJFCHAgDlrZRkgC5I7FAP0QNe9GRHAMzNY-dN2b_fMMrVrWqsMP6W7Wxpm7DrNw-X_FGfmmikqwaqokO2lfeKZCELW8Vsa9ymX5/s1600/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJaUvP6EuJU9K-V-CE8RGDjSgiTawrUgxCdrPxsAJFCHAgDlrZRkgC5I7FAP0QNe9GRHAMzNY-dN2b_fMMrVrWqsMP6W7Wxpm7DrNw-X_FGfmmikqwaqokO2lfeKZCELW8Vsa9ymX5/s640/Holiday-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-2012-4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;">Use Wall Space</div> That lovely solid-color wall in your living room?
