Between carving the turkey and baking the pie, flowers and pumpkins might be the last thing on your mind. But these decorating ideas prove a little extra prep makes the holiday feast a lot more festive.

House Beautiful

It's not just the heat that makes an indoor fire so enticing - the smell, the sound, the warm soft light; it is almost impossible to replicate the atmosphere conjured by a real, roaring log fire.
Fireplaces evolving for centuries at the forefront of technology and design, their decoration becoming increasingly elaborate, their materials more luxurious. The carved fireplaces to be found in grand historical houses are often mind bogglingly impressive in their scale and opulence.
Now of course, in the age of central heating, their functionality is no longer a necessity, leaving us free to enjoy their decorative beauty and the important architectural focal point that their presence lends to a room. Even if it is no longer in use, a fireplace gives an instant jolt of character.

We have always believed that size is indeed relative, and what might be a lavish, generous home for some might seem like a modest, mundane affair to others. A backyard swimming pool is not too different in this regard, as those who actually do not have one often crave at least a small pool that allows them to cool off on a hot summer day. Adding a petite pool to your small backyard need not be a challenging and complex affair, and the result will often leave you amazed, as you will discover a brand new hangout just a few steps away from your living room!
