Snowman Holiday Decor


Many people decorate their homes for the winter holidays with snowman collectibles, figurines, and home accessories. The cheerful snowman is a remembrance of one's childhood, from building a snowman with the family during the winter season to watching “Frosty the snowman” during the holidays. People like snowmen and at Christmas, they will decorate their home for the season with their snowman collection.




I collect many things, first, it was Hallmark angels, then it was winter birds, and in the past two years I found that I loved snowmen.


Snowman decor for your holiday home by Sgolis


I started my snowman collections with an ornament that my husband bought me by Christopher Radko. Then he bought me a Lennox snowman figurine. Last year I found that I loved the country style snowmen by Jim Shore and this year I designed snowman home décor for the kitchen and living room at my Zazzle store


What I like about Zazzle is that the products are higher quality than what you can find at the mall. Plus I like that many of the snowman product designs are templates which allow me to personalize them with my own text or snowman photographs.


I have bought a few snowman-designed holiday products at Zazzle and have found that the colors are bright and precise. The ink used does not fade or appear to be dull. What you see on the website is what they ship you and if there is a problem they have the best customer service, a 30-day return policy.


Here are my top snowman picks for the Christmas holidays. If you like what you see then click on the highlighted text directly below the image. You will be taken to my store where you can view the snowman, learn more or buy.

Spring Daffodil Bathroom Accessories

When you decorate your bathroom with colorful spring season daffodil floral bath towels, shower curtain, and other accessories  you will add a cheerful ambiance to your living space. 

 I like to add touches of cheerful yellow to my bathroom decor because coming out of the winter months that is exactly what is needed. Yellow is a positive color and gives good energy.  Here are a few of my bathroom designs

The winter has been long, snowy, and bitter cold. I am anticipating the spring season and today I am shopping online for spring-style daffodil flower bathroom accessories. The plan is to put an end to the winter blues by decorating my guest bathroom with pretty spring flowers. Flower decorations like yellow daffodils, tulips, and crocus will make the space feel warm like the sun.


While I love the colors yellow in a white bathroom I don’t want it to appear too yellow so I will accent the yellow color with red or purple because that is a good contrast and also a warm color. Both colors represent the spring flowers that are blooming in my gardens.

When you decorate the bathroom with daffodils or other spring season flowers, you will find that you have brought your garden indoors. Here are a few of my online finds. If you like what you see then click the highlighted words below the image and you will be taken to the store.

Fall Season Decor Ideas / Pumpkin Products




Many people decorate their homes with the fall colors orange-brown and gold by decorating with leaf garlands, swags, and pumpkins. When you accent the décor of your home with a pumpkin printed home accessories you will be celebrating the fall season and also adding coziness.



One way to add pumpkins to the décor of your home is to buy real pumpkins to set on your front porch or create a harvest style centerpiece that would incorporate small pumpkin accents among chrysanthemum flowers.

For a special occasion create a pumpkin arrangement by filling it up with real or silk chrysanthemum flowers, here is the photo of the centerpiece. Learn how to create it here.

Another way to add seasonal pumpkins to your homes décor is to shop for uniquely designed products at Zazzle.  Zazzle is a print on demand store where all the products are created by independent designers. Many of the pumpkin pattern designs can be personalized with your own monogram or words. Which makes it nice especially if you add an outdoor pumpkin pillow with the text “Welcome to our Porch”

Unlike other stores that charge a fee for the personalized product because many home accessories at Zazzle are templates which means you can buy as shown or create your own pumpkin design.

Here are some home accessories that I found at Zazzle.com. They all feature a fall season pumpkin design. If you see something that you like to click the highlighted text below the product image and this link will take you to the designer's store where you can view a larger image, learn more about the product, contact the designer with questions or buy.

Thank you for supporting the independent designers at Zazzle.com.

Cheerful Sunflower Kitchen Decor




Recently I created a few sunflower designs for a customer. She bought what she needed and I really liked the color combination of yellow, white and blue so I created additional collections using a watercolor illustrated sunflower. The sunflower and navy blue collection will complement a traditional home or a lake house beautifully.

Many people decorate with sunflowers in the summer. When the flower starts to bloom in late June and early July they will add the fresh-cut sunflowers to their kitchen and dining room by setting a bouquet of flowers in a vase in the center of their table.


Here are a few of my sunflower designs. Pop up your decor with home accessories that feature a cheerful sunflower print. This collection also offers clothing for her, kids, and a variety of coordinating accessories, gifts, and cards.


Everything Sunflowers



You do not have to wait for summer to decorate. I find that this cheerful flower that is the color of the sun will add warmth to your kitchen on a cold winter day.

In the winter months I will add silk sunflowers to a vase and will decorate your kitchen with sunflower print table runners, plates, dish towels and coffeemugs.

By adding sunflower decorations to my kitchen is a good way to bring the summer garden indoors. When there is a foot of snow on the ground and the temperature is in the single digits it is nice to see the pretty sunflower decorations in the kitchen.

Tween Girls Bedroom Decor Ideas



When planning a tween girls bedroom it is best to make it interesting by adding texture and color. A tween will spend more time in their bedroom than any other room in the home so it is important to add décor that appeals to her taste.

Choose a bedroom for a tween girl (age 8 to 12) that is large enough to accommodate her needs; sleeping, study area, large closet, area to dress with full-length mirror, a sitting area and windows for natural light. Also, consider a bedroom large enough to accommodate friends for slumber parties and sleepovers.

A room with a view is always better than a room with a window that opens to the side of another house. You would want to create a cozy sitting area with lofty throw pillows next to a window that opens up to a view. Your tween girl will sit by this window when she is talking on the phone, studying or daydreaming.



Here are some bedroom decorations that were designed for a tween girl.

Wall decor paint verses wallpaper

Consider paint rather than wallpaper because you can easily change the paint color but wallpaper is permanent. Wallpapers may look wonderful but a tween girl may grow tired of the look.  You can always accent the walls by painting a feature primary color wall and then hang posters or install a wall decal.

Pink Tulip Decorations for Bedroom



After a long and cold winter, it is nice to update your bedroom with pretty pink floral pillows, bed linens, and a new poster for the wall.

When it comes to decorating for the spring season I like to bring the tulip garden indoors.  A vase of pink tulips on the bedside table always looks so pretty. Fresh flowers are a great way to add warmth and coziness to your bedroom.




Here are a few pink tulip throw pillows for your bed.

Pink Tulips with Your Name Throw Pillow






It does not matter if your bedroom set is dark or light wood. Modern or a classic design you can always add floral prints to your décor. For a spring pastel color theme, I would suggest that you remove all dark colors from your bedroom and if your walls are painted a dark color you should update them with a pastel color or green, yellow, pink, beige, or white as they would be complementary to spring pink tulip product designs.


Shop for a duvet cover that would compliment your spring tulip bedroom theme. And buy sheets and pillowcases that would also go with your pretty spring floral look.


Painting is an easy way to update the look of any room. You can paint three of your walls a neutral beige or white, then the feature wall where your bed's headboard is located you could paint your pastel color. This would be the feature wall. On this wall, you would hang your tulip poster or canvas print.
Here are some tulip wall art designs.
