Christmas Decorating With Ball Ornaments

I found all these photos from BHG website and loved them all. Such simple ideas using round glass ornaments. It is all in how they are displayed.

Enjoy the eye candy!

Use a glass dome to house the orbs and sit it all on a silver plate or

Use a taller glass candy dish and put silver or white ball ornaments piled in a mound

Love this idea of using a goblet or martini glass and putting small round ornaments on display

Double Decker cake plate (which I think is just two footed glass dishes) stacked one on top of the other filled with ornaments and voitive candles. Cheap cheap but looks so fantastic!

LOVE the gigantic glass balls sitting in a terra cotta flower pot painted with white gloss paint and then adding a touch of fresh greens.

Hope all these pics motivate you.

I know I needed some motivation. I just can’t seem to get moving with my decorations….I am being a slug right now.

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

FUN ideas! I love the gigantic glass balls in the pots - so much fun! We'll have to wait until the toddler stage is over for that one! I have put extra ornaments on our clear glass cake stand with the domed-lid on top - pretty cute. Not ever how BHG's looks though!! Happy Holidays to you!!

To all of my blogging buddies...thank you for leaving such nice comments. It always makes my day. I am starting to feel a little bit more excited to start decorating a little bit more. Thanks for your many sweet messages on behalf of my brother. It means a lot.
