  1. Turn those holiday cards into decoration. Here’s a great idea to hang them from the staircase
  2. Buy some simple flowers and place them all around the house. Poinsettas are always nice, but think outside the holiday box, too. We love the look of these paperwhites at Midwest Living, and these dried magnolias in Katharine’s own home.magnolia
