Goodwill Home Décor Expert - Merri Cvetan

If you’re not quite ready to decorate for Halloween, try a scarecrow, the perfect “transitional” decoration for fall. You can make one in less than a couple of hours! 

I host several dinners and parties every December, some casual, some formal and some just “family comfortable.” I use a set of Christmas dishes (found at Goodwill for a bargain) every time but with a different twist.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve already decorated more than one Christmas tree in your home. As much as I love trees, they take up a lot of space. A simple solution is a small tabletop tree. This one is perfect for the kitchen.

I like lots of glitter, snow and sparkle. Under glass it stays in place so there is no mess!

A round evergreen wreath is the traditional Christmas door decoration. This year, I decided to try something different. Not only is the shape unique, there’s not a bit of green.

Decorated trees aren’t just for Christmas anymore! Add one to your Halloween décor and reuse it every year.

Really scare the socks off your friends with a spooky mirror. When checking themselves out, all they’ll see is someone else!

I’ve never shied away from adding a little bling to my fashion or home accessories. However, little goes a long way in home interiors. But anything goes when it comes to holiday decorating!

It’s been such a hot summer that cool autumn temperatures will be welcome this month! Decorating for Halloween is very popular (second only to Christmas), but before you carve the jack-o-lanterns, be sure to decorate for fall. It will be so much easier and faster to transition to a spooky and scary look in time for trick-or-treaters.

We host a brunch every Fourth of July for friends before we head out to the local parade and festivities. My challenge is to come up with a new table setting and menu every year.

Wedding season is upon us. Every bride wants her day to be special and unique.The more you can do ahead of time to prepare for your wedding, the less stress you will have on the big day.
