Is it just me or is anybody else out there still scrambling to get the house ready for parties?
Now that the world seems to be opening up little by little…and small, intimate gatherings have been more and more possible, our homes once again (ready or not!) are back to hosting mode this Christmas season.
If you’re in the middle of planning one but don’t really want to tire yourself out (or spend big bucks) to make it party-ready…here’s a simple 5-minute decorating idea to get your home come alive with minimal effort but loads of impact.
This looks especially welcoming in small areas like the foyer, on a mantle, window sill or console table…
Plus it’s versatile too — use it as an Advent Calendar, or display Christmas cards sent by loved ones or clip polaroid photos of the family in different areas of your house. It looks good on the tree too!
Are you ready? We hope this simple decorating idea will help you do some festive last-minute touches just in time to welcome long-missed loved ones back to your home.
