It's that time of year where we have gone from struggling to complete

the daily lists, to suddenly adding tasks of holiday decorating, gift buying,

 baking and busy social calendars.   What a person to do?

 How do you decorate?  Are you an "all in the Christmas Spirit" kind

 of person or do you hang a wreath, stick candles in the windows, 

decorate a tree and call it a day?  I find the older I become the more I

 really like less.  Less of everything.  I prefer well edited decorations

 as well as well edited rooms.  I also get more excited about

 interesting holiday items and color palettes that enhance a room.  

Don't get me wrong, I like red and green at Christmas as much as anyone, 

but I find unusual color palettes intriguing.  

Take for instance the antler pillows above from Piper Collection.  Aren't

these pillows stunning?  I don't know if you can tell from my photo,

but the fabric has a little metallic finish, which really takes these pillows

up a notch.  I love that these pillows can be used anytime you want to add

a little masculine touch to your decor.  I recently used them in a gentleman's

game room.  Yesterday, when I was straightening up the studio,  I thought about

 how fab these pillows would be for the holidays which then led me to popped

 over to Piper Collection to see what else in the collection would be nice for what

 I call "upscale holiday decor". Look at the goodies I found!

 Blitzen  12" x 18"

.  Can you see the sparkle?   

 

Blitzen 16" x 24"

Same style in a larger pillow in sesame.

Blitzen 16" x 24"

Also in orange if you like to add a pop of color to your decor.

 

Prancer 12" x18"

Speaking of color, who likes pink during the holidays?  I know I do!  It's a sister to red

so I find it works great if you prefer a little brighter palette for holiday decor. 

 Mr. Moose 22" x 22"

This is a big guy!  He would look great on a sofa or on your bed!

Matty 22" x 22"

Why not add a little fur for texture.  I love to mix fur pillows in for accent. 

Mary 22" x 22"

If you are traditional and like to stick with the red and green palette, but want to

 shake up your Christmas decor a bit, how about this gorgeous chevron velvet pillow?

Did you like what I found?  Decorating for Christmas doesn't have to be Santa pillows 

 drug out for a couple of weeks once a year.  Why not invest in something 

that can be use long after the holidays are gone?
