simple is sometimes best

I always keep ribbons from packages and love finding new ways to use them. Which is just one reason that I love the idea of tying them in a bow and letting them hang from chandeliers for the holidays. The other reason is that simple decor truly is sometimes best!

Haha, I've seen chairs hung on walls before but never a scooter...somehow it works! The whole room looks great.

Beautiful! I'm almost convinced that I need a chandelier so I can hang ribbons!

Mental note- pick up satin ribbon on the way home from work so I can do this. Thanks!

so pretty. This year I am going simple, well, except for the outside. My husband let my daughter decorate last night... blow up bear and all.

Simplicity at it's best. For a bit of nostalgia you could make a chain with the ribbon like you made from paper when you were a kid.

this is great! I keep ribbon too, but haven't always put it to good use (in other words, it's often left in a box with other ribbon!)

I can't tell you how much I love this. I haven't done any of my decorating yet and I really want to keep it simple this year so ribbon is the way to go, thanks.

Simple holiday décor is my fave! I love the use of thick satin ribbon here.

Also, how cute are those little trees on those shelves?

I love everything about this picture-but most of all I love the scooter as wall-art. Fabulous!

I have a major ribbon issue, I keep collecting, hording, finding it and the drawer just keeps getting stuffed. I must find a use for all of it soon- its becoming an issue :)
