Holiday Spice

Last week I decorated Amber India Restaurant for the holidays. I wanted the holiday decorations to reflect the orange-yellow hues of the existing decor and the spicy personality of the restaurant. Because of this I picked amber hues for the metal star and circle decorations hanging from a bronze colored tree stem. I also added some fake snow mixed with anise stars and pines to the potted poinsettia vases. I love how the decor turned out. If you are around Yerba Buena gardens this holiday season, be sure to stop by to see the decorations and taste the delicious Indian food.

Christmas is around the corner

The first day after Thanksgiving is a big shopping day for most people. I know a lot of people go to bed Thanksgiving night anticipating the big sales they are going to get on Black Friday. I get excited for Black Friday for another reason. The day after Thanksgiving is when we start decorating our client's offices, restuarants and hotels for the holidays. While everyone was getting up early to conquer their shopping lists, I got up early to start my Christmas decorations. I started making one out of the six wreaths I am designing for a local office. The office has a lot of blue and green panels so I am decorating the wreaths with similar colors. I had a lot of fun this morning with the wreaths.

Happy Thanksgiving

Every year my family and I celebrate Thanksgiving at my sister's house. While she makes all the food, I always bring the bouquet. This year I created a more traditional centerpiece to decorate the feast my sister made. It was a lovely day. I hope you had a wonderful day with your loved ones as well.
