Psst.... over here!

Ola! That's right, I've been up to something the past few weeks. I'll give you a hint....





Mexico!! I am now relaxed, happy and tanned (less white?) Sorry I didn't tell you, but you might have blabbed.

Instead of continuing business as usual at the Morgan Design Inc blog, instead I will taunt you, I mean show you what I've been up to.

Did I ever mention I don't like birds? Or cats.

A Simple Christmas Decoration

Today it has been brutally cold and icy out (well, for Victoria, that is) and although I generally tune out when people complain about being bored, I admit, I am. Richard, the dogs, and I all got enough of the snow yesterday, and now I'm left with a cold house, way too much comfort food, and a house not yet decorated for the upcoming holiday season.

But yes, there is an easy solution! It involves wine, old holiday decorations and some simple ideas.

Here is how to create a simple holiday decoration, using basic holiday supplies. Easy to do and beautiful to look at!

1.

Grab a vase or bowl, lots of ribbon and some left over Christmas tree bulbs

2.

Place big strips of ribbon at bottom

3.

Layer the bulbs on top of the big ribbon

4.

Arrange the narrow ribbon in a big messy pile that trails deep into the vase

5.

Voila! A cute dish of centerpiece goodness! I'm putting mine on the piano for the holidays, assuming I don't make 4 million more.


Also: SNOW!

Halloween Decorating Done Right

Those that have seen my house during the end of each October know that I am not that much of a Halloween fan. Now, there is something to be said about pumpkin carving and 250 packs of mini KitKats from Walmart, but the whole 'spooky' thing doesn't really get my creative juices pumping. Maybe it's because I am a total fraidy-cat, and cannot seem to watch scary movies unless they are muted or on very small TV sets. I digress.

The above photos are a few decorating ideas that I LOVE. Simple, tasteful (Halloween can get tacky sooo fast), yet still festive. Mind you, you would have to paint your door orange – but I think you should anyways.
