Roundup: Let It Snow
The holidays are over, but there's still plenty of Winter weather to be had. Even when I'm not hibernating, I love the look of snowflake motifs and minimalist snow-inspired accents. They lend a pretty, modern vibe to feminine or masculine rooms.
DIY: Easy Snowflake Chandeliers
This weekend my fiancé and I threw a holiday party at our house called a Feuerzangenbowle, which features a flaming rum punch (and YumSugar has the recipe if you want to make some).
By the time we finished cleaning, cooking, and organizing, I didn't have a lot of time to spend with intricate holiday decorations. This is often an issue when you're entertaining at home.

DIY: Domino Snowflake Ornaments
Domino has a no-sweat tutorial for making whimsical, snowflake ornaments from paper, which has amped up my holiday spirit. These ornaments remind me a lot of the Modern Paper Ornaments that Grace from Design*Sponge posted. It amazes me how you can do so much with a few sheets of paper!
Su Casa: Citygal's 2-D Christmas Tree
Su Casa member Citygal, who has been preparing for her holiday party, brought a little festivity to her Manhattan studio by fashioning a two-dimensional Christmas tree on her wall out of tinsel and tree lights, inspired by a similar 2-D tree that she saw in this month's Domino. She picked up the tinsel garland (which has little candy canes on it!) at the dollar store, so it's quite the inexpensive, but still fabulous, decoration. Citygal also decked out her house by turning on a snowflake screen saver on her Apple TV.

Cool Idea: From Bridal Bouquet to Holiday Decoration
Since I'm asking you to post your holiday decorations for my Su Casa Challenge, I figured it was only fair for me to post a photo of a little of my holiday decorating.
This Summer, I had all of my bridesmaids wrap their bouquets in vintage doilies (which you can see in this photo, in my sister's bouquet) for my wedding. We also hung starched doilies from the trees at the ceremony site.

Nice and New: Kate Spade Holly Heights Tidbit Plates
You can count on Kate Spade to infuse full-on girliness into her holiday décor. Spade's candy-colored Holly Heights Tidbit Plates ($50) are good enough to eat! The set of two green/yellow and two red/pink plates has ample festivity for holiday entertaining, but the central starry snowflake pattern is subtle enough that you can pull off the plates all year long.
