Silver and Gold or Red and Green?

In our last post we showed you all about the lights on the outside of buildings and we just had to feature our city. On this post, we decided to focus on how to transform the inside of your home to display your love for the season.

There are multiple ways that you can do this. For the sake of this post, we are going to focus on two popular ways. One way is to go the traditional, festive route with your color schemes. The other way is to take on other color combinations for a more subtle or muted look to your decor. Of course we will take a look at both.

More times than not, when you see inside Christmas decor, you will normally see the bold red and green color scheme for the holidays as well as many options for lights that can be used. Of course what comes with this is snowmen and traditional Santa Claus. There are different areas of your home where you can decorate. Of course there is all aspects of your living area. A lot of people do it in the living/family room as well as the entry way of the home.





Now if you are the type that doesn't go for the traditional, there are definitely other options that you can choose for your home's holiday feel. Another common color scheme is to go with bold metallic shades in silver and gold, and over the past year or so rose gold has gotten a lot of attention as well. You could also have your home the Winter Wonderland vibe and stick with cool tones of blue and what all over.




No matter which color scheme you pick, the most important thing so to make sure that it is how you want it. You want it to be something that you want to show off has you welcome people into your home. Happy decorating!!

It's All About The Lights

It is officially December. It is time to bring out the lights and the tree. Truth be told, I'm pretty sure the day after Thanksgiving everything was brought out and hung. However, for those late ones (like myself) you still don't know exactly how you want to set up your home inside and out. For this blog, it's all about the outside and letting the lights shine.


I decided I wanted to brag on my hometown and what we do for the Christmas season. We are based in Kansas City, Missouri and our city, each year, turn on lights throughout the city. The most well known site is our Country Club Plaza which are switched on Thanksgiving Day.

We also have something called the Mayor's Christmas Tree that is also illuminated during December.

Both of these events bring out residents of Kansas City to take part in the celebration of yet another Christmas season. You will see displays like this all over the city whether it be in shopping centers, on hotels or in the many residential areas.

As you can see, our city knows how to make good use of lights. Our next post will show you how you can dress up the inside of your home to make it feel like Christmas.
