I spent a majority of my day decorating the house for the holidays. I went through boxes and boxes of different looks (I often change the color of our trim each year). Going through these boxes brought back some great memories. I then found myself searching through different boxes to reconnect with my past. After all, I only open the boxes once a year.
Well, this year I made a decision to reuse my holiday trim versus purchasing new and I challenge you to do the same!!
Instead of purchasing new trim - try creative ways to mix and re-use old ornaments to create unique, eclectic centerpieces, wreaths, or additions to your mantle. Not only will you display your childhood pieces (that may be broken, mix-match, or too weak) but it will also leave some spare change for things you enjoy most -- In my case SHOES!!
Enjoy!!
