I\u2019ve listed some of my favorite accessories to help you kick it up a notch during the holidays!<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 1. Your fireplace is a focal point. Make it interesting with a beautiful fire screen. The key is to look for a great design that complements your fireplace.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 2. Is your iron or metal chandelier boring and unattractive? Add some glam with magnetic crystals. You can select from a number of colors cuts and sizes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 3. Change out your old area rug with a more up-to-date version for a totally new look in your space.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 4. Has your table lamp seen better days? If you love your lamp but you\u2019re tired of the same old look, buy a new shade and a finial for a totally new look.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 5. Is your dining table dull? Kick it up a notch with a new table runner. Or better yet buy a high-end fabric remnant from your favorite fabric store and hem or Stitch Witch the ends.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 6. Do your drapes need an update? Hot glue fringe or beads to the sides or buy new tiebacks with wonderful chunky tassels.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 7. Another way to cozy up your space is with fresh greenery or flowers.<\/p>\n<p>Share your tips!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Mi-Ling Stone Poole &#8211; Are you tired of the
