One of today’s most popular decorating spaces is the open area between cabinet top and ceiling. Which, dear reader, just happens to be the perfect place for an über-awesome show of seasonal décor.

Harvest Heights

Autumn hues blend beautifully with most color schemes. Celebrate nature’s bounty with a dazzling display of pumpkins, squashes, acorns and pears in a variety of sizes and textures. Keep the eye moving by varying heights: low draped florals and berries, angled baskets and look-at-me wall art. Harvest moon, prepare to be outshined.

Heavenly Holidays

Traditional red & green says “Christmas” loud and clear, so start your yuletide vignette with a bed of bright holly berries. Arrange holiday elements to create a story – angels, reindeer, miniature evergreens or an heirloom manger scene are just a few possibilities. Finish off with a bit of eye-grabbing bling (who says the brightest star has to be on the tree?) and voila! Is it us, or is it beginning to look a lot like you-know-what?
