Less Is More

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

I do not know about all of you, but the Holidays seem to come earlier and earlier every year.  It just seems like we are still eating our Halloween candy and here comes the Christmas music….crazy.  Can we just go back to after Thanksgiving welcoming Christmas decorating?

I am trying to get inspired, so lets take a look….

Smallplacestyle’s example of a modern Christmas and a mantel full of fun…very clean!

I guess I am aiming for a more subtle approach to Holiday decorating for this season.  Casasugar writes about San Francisco blogger Victoria that decorates with on a more mellow, subtle touch for the season.  Her ideas of roses, white candles, colors of silver and gold is a welcoming deviation from traditional red and green.  Sometimes the saying less is more applies the truth even to your Christmas decor.  Lets face it ….just an easier clean up as well!

Good Luck Decorating!!!

They don’t stop at wallpaper.  You can also customize lighting, lamp shades, pillows and fabric!  With that kind of flexibility you are most certain to get a very pulled together look.

Quality products at half the price???  Why is it when you are shopping online there is such a price jump from site to site???  Amish Country Products and More explains part of the reason they are able to beat the pricing of their competitors by such a considerable amount is due to their website.  Their site has no gimmicks…..you are getting the best price the first time, every time!  Most companies add a substantial markup and then run a temporary sale making you think you got the deal of a lifetime….wrong!

If you are looking for high-quality, hand made Amish products priced honestly, Amish Country Products and More will be for you.  The store, located in Pennsylvania Dutch Country has been established online and in brick-and-mortar since the mid 1990’s.  Their special products are made by skilled Amish men and women with first class craftsmanship.  The store specializes in selling cupolas, but also carries weathervanes and a wide variety of Amish crafted cabinetry and furniture.

Take a look for yourself with customer photos.

The proof is in the work!
