Eddie Ross Decorates for the Holidays
December 2, 2010 in Christmas, Interior Design Videos
Kathysue of the Good Life of Design wrote a very inspiring post about simple Christmas decor, which included a video link. The videos feature Eddie Ross sharing his design tricks for preparing a home for Christmas, using decor items from Kmart and Sears. These videos inspired me so much, so I thought I’d share them with you ;)

Mantel Decoration tips:
Eddie points out that it’s best to start with a clean slate (couldn’t agree more). He mixes real and faux greenery, a great way to still get that lovely fresh smell. I love the way he uses the wreaths for the hurricanes, what a fabulous idea! Also, I adore how he decorated the green garland with ornaments and beads. Check it out for yourself!

Christmas tree decoration tips:
Eddie places the tree in a pretty urn. This is something I have planned for my tree this year. He decorates the tree with red, green and pink (!) ornaments, mixing matte, shiny and glittery ones for a stunning result. He tops it all of with faux snow for a frosty result.

Entryway decoration tips:
Saving the best for last, here is Eddie’s fantastic tips on entryway decoration. Love the gold ornaments in the red bells, it’s the perfect touch. What a transformation!
You can see behind the scenes photos from the making of these videos on Eddie’s blog. I just realized Eddie has a $250 gift certificate giveaway to Kmart/Sears going too, so head on over ;)

Mixing fresh & faux greenery is a great idea. I also really like the idea of putting your Christmas tree in an urn – although I imagine you need either a smallish tree or a really big urn!
The tree decorated in red, green, and pink is really pretty :-)
Good luck in my giveaway!
