Most of you know, I love to re-purpose everyday things.  However, I also love to find “second” uses for my holiday items too –  especially if it means I won’t have to put away the everyday accents I have in my kitchen cabinets.   This year, I wrapped a large gift in a paper that coordinates with my black & white toile kitchen theme.  Until I gift someone (on Christmas day) with it, I will have the perfect decorative accent for this year’s theme!  Also in this photo, I have another easy decorating idea for you.  I needed a touch of my lime green accent color inside this cabinet (to break up the black & white) and didn’t have anything to use.  So, I popped one of my leftover lime green ornament balls on top of a silver candle stand… perfect!  I hope these ideas inspire you to look through your own decorations and around your home for themed holiday inspiration.  Happy decorating!

Enjoy the Creativity!
