2011 Christmas Trends

Noel Ornament
Decorating for Christmas this year has so many wonderful options! Gone are the days of metallic garlands and plain glass balls. With all the gorgeous ornaments, ribbons and flowers available now, your tree can become a reflection of you and your personality! And now that you can find quality, affordable artificial trees that are pre-lit, more people are setting up multiple themed trees that match their homes.

Wine Country Tree


 For an elegant feel, try a Venetian tree. In tones of gold, burgundy and dark purple, and decorated with masks, keys, crosses and music, this tree would be showstopping in a formal living room! In St. Nick's Vineyard, wine themed ornaments in shades of purple, gold and green would make a perfect backdrop for a holiday wine tasting. A Peacock tree in teal, green and copper would be stunning as well. Think of how beautiful a topper of peacock feathers and copper ribbon would be on your tree!

Merry and Bright Tree



If you're more traditional, a Merry & Bright tree in red and lime might be more your style. Top this tree with a big bow made from glittery holiday ribbon, and use festive and even funky ornaments in the color scheme for a tree that's fun and whimsical. Or how about Winter Wonderland in frosty shades of silver, blue and white? Crowned with a top hat and garlanded with a scarf, you'll invoke the feeling of Frosty all season long.

Under the Sea Tree





Want to go with an untraditional tree? With glittery shells, fish, mermaids and seahorses in blue, teal, pink, lime and purple, an Under the Sea tree can be magical!

Rainforest Tree





Or recreate the Rainforest using tropical flowers, parrots, monkeys and frogs. A huge spray of hibiscus and fern at the top of the tree will really make a statement. Add some animal print ribbon to complete the theme.




For a daughter's room, how about some Winter Glam? Little shoes and purses in hot pink, black and white, with some zebra print ribbon would be perfect! What little girl (or big girl, for that matter) wouldn't love a glam tree in her room? We topped ours with a pair of REAL shoes, painted and glittered to match!

Woodland Garlands



Let's not forget the boys! A Woodland tree with bears, birds and sleds, a Cowboy tree with boots, saddles, horses and burlap or even a sports tree with ornaments in their favorite team colors will bring a smile to your favorite guy's face whenever he walks in the room.

Candyland Tree



While I still keep a family tree full of the kids' pipecleaner and glitter creations, I'm looking forward to creating a Candyland tree in my kitchen this year, filled with cupcakes, candy and gingerbread men! So tell me, how will you decorate this year? Are theme trees a part of you holiday decorating?

Sunny Summer Decor

Sunflower and Lemonade Photo


Summertime, and the living is easy! Now is the time to enjoy the outdoors, and what better way than dining al fresco?


Summer Table Photo



Decorating with nature as your backdrop gives you so many of options. As summer reaches it's peak, sunflowers are a perfect choice to build your table decor around. Paired with blues taken from the sky and water, your tablescape will look fresh and cool during the summer heat.


Summer Place Setting Photo





While you're at it, why not think outside the box and use sunflowers in an unconventional way? Giant silk sunflowers, deconstructed, become unique placemats, while smaller blooms are the perfect backdrop for placecards.

Finish off your decor with a sunflower embellished candle in a hurricane to keep the wind out, and your dining adventure can carry on into the evening.




So, what are you waiting for? Grab some sunflowers, enhance your outdoor living space, and enjoy the lazy days of summer!

Embracing Springtime In Your Home Décor

Spring has officially arrived. As a season of newness, organization, and all things creative, spring is one of the best times to showcase your artistic talents. Where should you start? Your home is the number one place where your personality shines. If you’re hoping and wishing you could change the feel of your home, but don’t quite have the budget, start small. The moods of your accents and decorations change everything.

You say: “My living room is boring.” I say: “Throw pillows!” You might laugh, but it’s true. Plain-colored couches look fantastic and fun when paired with uniquely colored or patterned pillows, and it just so happens that Beverly’s Fabric & Crafts stores have a lovely selection of fabric for your home. I must admit, I’m pretty excited about the discounted Amy Butler fabrics because they remind me of spring! And that’s what we were discussing, correct? See what I did there? Anyway…

As I dole out tips, tricks, and advice to you in adding a little spice to your décor, I will also say this: the Internet is an awesome tool for inspiration. Not only can you shop for supplies online, but you can also see what others are creating and see what you like! Spring is a wonderful season because it gets people out of their creative hibernations. Also, people love to share their projects through blogs! When I need some creativity-caffeine, I visit blogs like I Go By Katie, How About Orange, and Oh, Hello Friend.

Who will inspire your spring project, and what will your project be? Share with us in the comments below or on Beverly’s Fabric & Crafts Facebook Page!

Finding Home Décor Inspiration: Kids’ Playrooms

Kid's playroom for home decor inspiration
If there’s one thing kids’ rooms have in common, it’s color. When I was in elementary school, I decided my favorite color was yellow. Thus, I simply needed yellow painted walls in my bedroom. And no, not a reasonably muted, pastel, or pale tone. I wanted to go all out. Canary yellow? Sunny yellow? It didn’t matter, as long as it was bright. My incredibly tolerant mother agreed that we could redecorate my room for my 10th birthday, and the walls have remained the same color ever since.

These days, when I look for decorating inspiration, I sometimes find myself looking at pictures of kids’ rooms. Why? I’ll tell you: I like looking at cute playrooms because there are so many great D.I.Y. ideas! Like this cloud mobile from Crafted Love, which is absolutely darling and super easy to make.

Getting some inspiration from children’s décor adds youthfulness and an element of fun to the mix. Dressing up commonplace appliances is also something kids’ rooms can get away with. One example is this clock creature from Disney’s Family Fun website, made entirely from items like googley-eyes and felt that you can find at your local Beverly’s Fabric & Crafts store.

Last (but not least), lighting is always important. Consider upcycling an ugly old light fixture (say, from a thrift store) into something bright and colorful! DIY Home Decorating Ideas has several before-and-after photographs to help inspire your crafty side. Also, be sure to take a look at the free home décor how-to’s and free kids craft how-to’s on beverlys.com for even more ideas and inspiration.
Kids tend to be pretty “out there” with their personalities, so it makes sense as to why some children would be so certain of how they want their space to look. I mean, really, aren’t we all a little like that, even as adults? Maybe we’d skip the bright-yellow-bedroom-look, but we still like to make our space an expression of our personal taste.

Got your own unique idea? Share it with us and our community in the comment space below or on the Beverly’s Fabric & Crafts Facebook page! We’d be happy to hear about your latest home décor project.
