Nikki K's Profile

Perhaps I was just very lucky to have parents who had a more eclectic style and loads of patience, but decorating the tree during Christmas and decorating the house for various holidays was always a learning experience for me... taking into account the material of the decoration, color balance, spacing, the way light hits the surface (or not) and so on. My husband was banned from helping to decorate the tree because his mom didn't want it to be "ugly"... our trees were never ugly. They were warm, and eclectic, and not what you'd find in a department store, but honestly I think the right thing to do is get the children involved. You can still go back behind them and "fix" things, but I think those are the moments for at least a lot of us that starts introducing us to the whole world of interior design!
