Set Your Holidays a Glow
It is that time of year ...
Spark up the fireplace, drape strings of lights, fill lanterns & lite candles.
Gather round, get cozy and bask in the glow.
Lanterns & candles are particularly wonderful ways to transition your decor from fall to Christmas.
Everyone can add these two essential pieces, especially at the very affordable prices of these.
I found this shiny, gold, clean lined lantern and knew it would be perfect to set the tone for my transitional dining room decor.
The lantern and the three flickering, flameless candles inside are from the Better Homes & Gardens Collection at Walmart.
Standing 15" tall the lantern is a partner for the very large white pitcher from the Collection.
The flameless candles are convincingly real in appearance and have a remote. Perfect for enclosing inside a lantern. Easy on & off!
This candle, that has become the signature scent of my house, is also from The Better Homes & Garden Collection.
Two wicks in a cut glass container make this candle beautiful. The scent, Soft Cashmere Amber, makes it memorable. The price will make you want several.
Having candles throughout your home is a wonderful way to add to the glow of the season.
Tip: If you are burning multiple candles, even in different rooms, all of them should be the same scent.
Another way to multiply the impact of your lanterns & candles is adding mirrors. A mirror reflecting the glow of a candle doubles the beauty.
I have had my eye on simple round mirrors for sometime.
I found the perfect one at the perfect price while shopping the Better Homes & Gardens Collection on line.
The juxtaposition of my antiques with simple clean lined pieces defines my style.
This 28" round mirror with brushed gold rim is the perfect foil to my worn pine table & ornate dining chairs.
You can see reflected in the mirror the studded lamp shade and gold/glass candle holder also from the collection.
I am so pleased with the decor I have brought into my home from the Better Homes & Garden Collection. I think you will be too.

Tis the season to glow and to wish...
If anyone is asking, the chair & rug are on my list ;)
