A staple for holiday decorating–ribbon!  Affordable and practical, it never ceases to amaze me how a single strand of ribbon can transform the simplest thing into a delight!  Whether you are traditional, contemporary, romantic or something in between, there is a ribbon out there for you! Choose your favorites and have at it!  Once you get started I promise you it will be hard to quit!  My latest color infatuation in my home is green–ribbon allows me to transform my colors without blowing my budget on all new decorations.  So, I guess you could say that ribbon is a pretty remarkable item!  Here, green, grey and silver strands twisted from stocking to stocking add a striking punch of color to an otherwise serene mantelpiece.  Tiny trees standing tall on a dessert stand bring a touch of color to the top and silver initial tags add a glittery touch.  Such simplicity but such an impact!

The same green ribbon tied around a slipcovered chair successfully pulls the color in to an adjacent room and the bird ornament with a bountiful ribbon tail looks so festive perched upon an urn filled with vintage tinsel.  The simple bow attached to a lamp gives an ordinary item some holiday flare!  So what are you waiting for?  Go get some ribbon and let the festivities begin!
