Wrap each with low-wattage, UL-approved white holiday lights that don't generate heat. Drape beautiful ribbons over the rings to create the foliage streamers, which cover the structure but allow the glow from the lights to shine through. </li></ul><br /><ul sizcache="37" sizset="313" type="disc"><li>For just a whisper of the holidays in your home, purchase several cherry blossom branches from a florist. The flowers give the impression of tufts of snow along the branches, and when placed in a very large glass container, the bouquet can be high enough to allow plenty of room for stacks of beautifully wrapped Christmas packages underneath. </li></ul><br /><ul sizcache="37" sizset="314" type="disc"><li>Use carefully wrapped surprises as part of your holiday decor. One of the best ways to do this is to use paper in colors that either stand out or blend in with the existing decor of your home. A collection of pink and silver packages is certainly eye catching. If the packages look too good to unwrap, use empty boxes and display your creations again next year. </li></ul><br /><ul sizcache="37" sizset="315" type="disc"><li>Turn a white Christmas tree into a snowman (or an elf, Santa and even a reindeer) using felt and fabric for his eyes and nose, top hat and a scarf to keep him warm. </li></ul></div>

Country Style Kitchens 2013 Decorating Ideas

A country style kitchen is warm, cozy and inviting. It's evocative of a country setting.<br />The furnishings and decor remind you of the countryside, the outdoors and the gathering of people.

Patio Decorating Tips For Summer 2013

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">A charming patio filled with amenities can be a warm weather getaway, right in your backyard. Create a patio you can enjoy with these tips. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-AaJA3MSYEDjD97IEa63FheSVdfZAGQvrKAgNdA-ZmleR51t7RGCIFMkRMHn1Y2Ds1b8l4rK6vO86sNtnkbrY6lwtkmtbBrzaO4-Nfgh9fGAtnvHnKeT_fUIp29AmqtprOEOrE1O2UeM/s640/Patio-Decorating-Tips-For-Summer-2013.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In landscapes that include lots of different plant types and textures, too much additional pattern can be overwhelming. Small doses are a good way to provide visual relief as well as interesting contrast to furniture. This patio set's solid-red seating cushions are paired with red and white pattern accent pillows for a pop of style. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM9ZaNGtKp4yZRy5R3Bi_lcwkiu-XwJ3HADg75i6VwBzwdr52-4Kbmkn5mzSxge9G9R-QLpqaFZpPFBNWFTwXLfuuTr_iZMB4huv81r22B1gGUIU1mUy0WzC6N4sP0OINntCEfUd8FETI/s640/Patio-Decorating-Tips-For-Summer-2013-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Patios that are shielded from the elements can also, unfortunately, be shielded from cooling summertime breezes. If you have a structure overhead either a real roof or a pergola you may be able to include a ceiling fan, which can help drop the temperature up to 10 degrees. Outfit your ceiling fan with a light and you'll have a reliable source of overhead illumination, too. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGBU1ZqLiUOKy3JjYcPEDDr1auj8JQzMw21MWlsRqtNeIi9ZC9nOR4_LqBeMeaZCfqccFDT7rxxQ-fkhBghh0omvj8JX-tfzvQAUK88ezQHH8u2tIPNtHvcAKSw8uTogVPhyjztUy756A/s640/Patio-Decorating-Tips-For-Summer-2013-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you have limited backyard space, you may want to screen your seating area from your neighbors. There are a variety of visually pleasing ways to do that, including attractive fencing, tall trees (which also supply shade), shrubs, or a hedgerow. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHbB-N09sXcrpVz5nolySwOFUEhbFeJl1bAwQ8V7vQ54vSWGoCTrJmGj-IeLYmz_VCbvU4QWdzStVDE7x7rmkGUFXuRVI0JqTgWLz_681WQSqZJK4L4Jc0cI5DGzSl2gW1NSJwHWgUlo0/s640/Patio-Decorating-Tips-For-Summer-2013-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Exterior lighting has many functions ensuring safety along walkways, offering ambience as natural light fades and should be an integral part of any patio design. A pendant fixture above this table can cast light on diners lingering after the sun has set. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoyMBoHDAg31WhHXBsv-r3PxqRu2bQrMfJBnyve-sopMqKeDohCL1UqsEhZ1GUiY6CjE7n_HmnJ2SEo0dsqCtPB8PJLR3vouVgXlZabmnNToQmtsOSMROZYEjViR-g-JJCf5fR9E5_9sY/s640/Patio-Decorating-Tips-For-Summer-2013-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A paved or bricked patio space that ends abruptly will feel out of place with a larger landscape around it. A better solution is to use materials to gradually transition  and reinforce a connection  between the two. Here, irregularly shaped pavers provide a pathway from patio to lawn, and mulch and containers segue neatly into planted areas. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGHltqAXkxUnPwPIAuGEU1ptGnJ_UJjvWH7PS6U6jToy3TYSx6O5JtFdcm-caTGTZ8sJOWF9BQZNmdsna_epTd0dEcTzVZyzwt58R1xXcLadm4iUD_ZABc9h8llrYs1fbZKn1z85gb_yo/s640/Patio-Decorating-Tips-For-Summer-2013-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A deck that's created with materials that are in polar opposition to a house will look out of place indeed. Use your home's architecture for cues as to color and type of construction. Here, stucco walls supply the neutral base, while stonework adds welcome visual complexity to the intimate fireplace area. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5HXiAivFfDiZtng8DJhte-zFZ3-YmSOb1fbK6W6Niv_xpOACf_86hGy7OU6t_w5dKXFXwIzMouD6NonvHsOXnxIYqN-oHrJolDrK035KjKKed_gJW59C7te_gZz1q5aR5RhOnL-CepNA/s640/Patio-Decorating-Tips-For-Summer-2013-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Small shifts in color or material supply welcoming visual interest underfoot on a patio. Consider a border, or use different sizes of stones to delineate seating or eating areas like this red brick helps designate the dining area and warms up the blue flagstones. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlVO-dcAnOkQIdmdeHQKzLdSfV4d-uuFO0cmM8lR9rr7M-biS_btIwyDC04f1bLr8hMnjOteb7P1opSMS2O9y4xH-kPleo-lfZLz9Pbd-lla6VPUHhU6r_VU6_ilMXFZYYxYryac448_E/s640/Patio-Decorating-Tips-For-Summer-2013-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Decorative elements certainly have a home on a patio, particularly if they're either outdoor-safe or protected from the elements. If your style is a bit eclectic, or favors a theme like this woodsy one, let the decorating scheme reflect that, with sculpture and centerpieces. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVIaDoVhZua2R1afjE7WcodFmcAgIawMDw7jBR9GSP6vtT8CIxPtWXDFJ9Ulr3wkurHw02qzJPqD5GP46m-la4s3Ty90VK9KboBxECHzIJM7zqBJkWQ_m9LZFjJg5bIglRRhhkxOLQnR0/s640/Patio-Decorating-Tips-For-Summer-2013-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In the absence of a change up of fabrics or hardscape, plants can be a welcome way to add living décor to a patio space. Intermix grasses and foliage-focused plants for variety in both hue and style. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUED-L2YacXEbygegM3PGicHsDji2Iv8h5UGCV0X8QWJsVj2Sw4DdoDqcrXrb8tKbQsYK8WhCu_h5J2xSZek_slzf5lCQG5Yw6G_TcNQBe87fSVO3ZSMxAgT34sRGlMvfxLvVFYe7Wo4E/s640/Patio-Decorating-Tips-For-Summer-2013-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Even a small fountain or birdbath lends a soothing sound or draws birds and butterflies. Petite water features can also act as a charming focal point, like this birdbath centered in a small circular brick patio. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
