Add Some Ooomph This Year!

I am the 1st to admit I can be a Scrooge. Although this year I vowed to tone down my grumblings. 

I figured all it might take was a new decorating project to rev my engine.  Can't help it, I'm always decorating, it's in my bones.  Never more happy than when I'm re-arranging furniture, painting a room, scoring a great deal on throw cushions or adding some oomph. 

Never lacking inspiration I have scoured the shops, both online and in person and have found my favorites for the Holidays.  For me it's all about "ooomph".  Now I am sure the traditionalists in my home (and yours) will be doing some grumbling of their own, but hey, I can't always be the grumbler.

Here are some of my faves and where you can purchase them;

Ok, I'm not done.

My love of decorating brings me to my next addiction.  Candlelight.  The look, the smell, the glow, the warmth...are you feeling the love too?

Did you know that eveyone looks good under candle light?  True fact.  It's the softest and most soothing light there is.  It's impossible to look bad.  Trust me and try it.  Ever host a dinner or light up a room using ONLY candle light?  It's pure bliss.Now I am very fussy about my candles. Not just any candle will do.

Quality is key. Here are my favorites this season...






You can find these here.
I don't know about you but I'm feeling better already.  Kick it up a notch this year!  Are you bringing your oomph back?  Share with us!
