Fall Pattern Kitchen Tablecloths

One of the easiest ways to decorate your kitchen is to add a fall pattern tablecloth. Large and small tables will look very cozy with a fall leaf or other pattern tablecloth. The table will be your focal area then all you have to do is add some kitchen accents like coffee mugs, paper plates, napkins and kitchen towels. It does not take much to create a warm and cozy kitchen for the fall season.
Here is a table runner with a fall leaf pattern. Below see the tablecloths.

Before you shop determine your fall color scheme. Many people like the color yellow and orange pattern with accents of dark brown, green or black. You can shop locally or online. Now if you want to match up a pillow or your window treatments you should take a photograph of the print then upload that photo at Zazzle.co


You can also shop the marketplace at Zazzle for a fall tablecloth or runner. All products that you view are created by artists and the designs are unique and will never be found at the mall.
Here are a few fall pattern tablecloths that I found at zazzle.com. Know that you can buy the tablecloth as shown or upload your photo and make your own.
Set your table with this cloth and add an autumn centerpiece and you will create an eye appealing autumn kitchen.

Light up Your Home with Lamp-In-a-Box




A few years ago Zazzle starting carrying Lamp-In-a-Box brand table, tripods and ceiling pendant lamps. These lamps all feature a designer created shade that is unique and never found at the mall. You can buy the lamp as shown with the designer shade or you can create your own lampshade by uploading your photographs or graphics.

Here is an autumn living space with a table lamp in the back by the tree. The shade has tree leaves and you can see that the compliments the decor. 






Creating your own lamp from your photograph is a good way to match the wallpaper, drapes or other decoration in your home. All you have to do is take a photo and upload it to Zazzle to create your matching lamp.

A table lamp from Zazzle is a good way to light up a dark room or to coordinate a space. But you can also create a lamp for a special birthday, housewarming, new baby or bridal shower keepsake design.

Unlike the mall stores where you have to buy the base of the lamp as shown, Zazzle allows you to choose from two base colors, white or silver and you can also choose the fabric used on the shade. I bought the linen shade and loved the way the lampshade provided my space with soft light. The ambiance was very cozy.

Here are a few fabulous lamps that I designed at my Photo Gifts by Sgolis store at Zazzle.com You can buy as shown or create your own from your photographs.

Decorate for the fall season by adding ambiance to your space. Shop for fall leaf printed pillows for your sofa, a rustic metal container with yellow mums, fall landscape poster for your wall.  These are just a few ways that you can decorate your space with for fall.

Know that the fall season can be rainy or cool so the family will be spending more time indoors. The throw pillows are great for the kids for watching TV or for sitting on the floor, a throw blanket is also a good idea draped over the sofa.

Accent the coffee table with an orange maple leaf pattern table runner, then add candles and a bowl of nuts. You may also want to add a board game or a puzzle.

St Patrick's Day Party Essentials

I grew up Irish-American which meant that we always celebrated St. Patrick's Day. My mother was first-generation Irish in America and my grandparents came from Cork. My mother held onto her Irish heritage and prepared many Irish recipes throughout the year and always celebrated St. Patrick's Day by going to mass to be blessed, followed by an Irish breakfast, tea in the afternoon, and the Irish-American corned beef and cabbage with all the sides in the evening.  

Two St. Patrick's Day partygoers "wearing their green" 


St. Patrick's Day was a day of cooking, joke-telling, dancing, and singing. A joyous time for wearing green

My mother never decorated the house with green streamers, shamrock stickers, or balloons. Instead, her decorations consisted of family photographs of her travels to her homeland and framed posters of Cork Ireland on the wall. The Irish party essentials were a green tablecloth, green classic paper plates, napkins, and mugs for Irish coffee.
Here are a few classic-styled St Patrick’s Day table-setting products and mugs.

The most important thing for a party is to have aprons to protect your clothes, table-setting essentials including a platter for your corned beef, and Irish music by the Clancy brothers.


Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a traditional Irish-American dinner? Do you wear green color clothing?

Royal Blue and Gold Christmas Decor


Make a statement this year and decorate your Christmas tree and home with a royal blue and gold color scheme. The blue color represents the night sky and gold snowflake represents elegance.

Recently a customer contacted me and requested a royal blue and gold snowflake print on a round accent pillow, table runner, and ornament. She wanted a few accessories to accent her royal blue with gold living space where she had her Christmas tree. 

I created the blue and gold home accessories from a public domain photograph of a gold textured snowflake pin (jewelry). I layered the gold snowflake over the royal blue background. An additional layer was added to create white glitter. The white glitter represents the snow.

The royal blue and gold snowflake pattern home decor is popular this year and thought it would be good to create a home set to show my customers and followers on this blog how the home accessories compliment a blue color scheme Christmas space. I think the home set with blue and gold accents is beautiful. What do you think? Will you be decorating your home this year with a blue color scheme?

Christmas Poinsettia Decorations for Bathroom

When there are children in the home a bathroom that is decorated with Santa or Snowman sure looks cute but if your kids are grown or you are empty nesters you may desire poinsettia holiday prints that is festive and in good taste.
Bathroom accessories designed by Sgolis and made by Zazzle.com

The poinsettia is the traditional flower of Christmas and blooms in a variety of colors; red, burgundy white and pink. The poinsettia bathroom accessories that I designed are burgundy flowers with dark green leaves and touches of white.

If your bathroom has a white theme this holiday print will look fabulous. Of course a cream or ivory will also be a lovely background color for the poinsettia pattern accessories.

When you decorate your bathroom with poinsettia pattern accessories; shower curtain, guest towels, soap and toothbrush holder and bath mat know that the color combination and pattern is one you can leave up until New Years Day because it is not the traditional Santa Claus print which should come down soon after Christmas Day.

Here are the poinsettia holiday products that I designed for the bathroom. If you are interested in viewing in high resolution at my store, click on the blue highlighted words. All products are made by Zazzle.com which means you will not find my designs at any other online or offline store. When you buy from zazzle you are supporting a designer and their small business.

Decorating Guest Bedroom for Christmas

This year I want to decorate my guest bedroom in red, green and white color scheme for the Christmas and the winter season. Since my husband and I enjoy nature and would like to add red holly berries, evergreen trees, pine cones and white to represent snow as my decorations for the guest bedroom.  I like the idea of winter decorations since I can leave them up after the Christmas season has ended.

Here is a Christmas bedroom set that I put together for one of my customers.  This set shows you how to decorate with a red and white color scheme.

Christmas Poinsettia Bedroom by sgolis featuring glass ornaments

One way to add Christmas to your bedroom is to buy a new bed ensemble or cover your bed with a solid color; red, green or white comforter that will complement your holiday color scheme. 

I shopped online at amazon.com and found lovely quilt sets. Here is one I think will go well with my iron bed in the Victorian designed guest bedroom. This comforter has red berries, green balsam tree leaves on a white background. I really like this bed ensemble because of the pattern, I can leave it up throughout the winter season.

Accessorize the winter season bedroom by adding Christmas decorations. Set a mini Christmas tree for your nightstand or side table. Then instead of having a night light on you would light up the tree. The lights from the tree will create a Christmas ambiance.

Accessorize your bed with throw pillows. I have 4 on my bed as they are needed to support a sore back or for head support. Shop for a pattern that will go with your bed ensemble.  Here is a red accent pillow that I designed.  You may customize this pillow by adding your own graphics and words.

Christmas Bedroom Decor Ideas


When it comes to decorating for the Christmas season many people will accent their bedroom with touches of red and green. They may add a Christmas tree or cover their bed with a holiday quilt. It makes sense to me to decorate your bedroom since you spend an average of ten hours in this room each day. It is a good place to rest at the end of the day looking at the lights flickering on the holiday tree.

View this video for Christmas bedroom ideas.  Scroll to the bottom of this article for my Christmas bedroom design.


Know that you do not have to decorate every inch of your bedroom. The decorations for this room should be simple with touches of the holiday season here and there.

I recommend covering your bed with a solid cover comforter and pillow shams. A neutral color is best as this would be the backdrop for your holiday pattern pillows. You would also want your window treatments to one color, a contrast or color that would blend with room theme.

Here is a bedroom design that I created to show a customer how to decorate their bedroom for Christmas. The room color scheme is green, beige and gold. All of these colors are featured in the room accessories. Throw pillows, tapestry blanket throw, Venetian style wood wall art and the window decorations are lovely Christmas accessories that add coziness to the bedroom. 

Find all of these Christmas decorations at Zazzle.com
