Today I’m opening my door to give you a tour of my home at Christmas. I’m not big on traditional Christmas color schemes, so get ready a heavy dose of pink and gold!

I *heart* deer. I love to display my deer collection at Christmas time, because people aren’t as likely to think I’m nuts. |
Modern Wall Displays of Collections

| I often hear people say they don’t like collections because they consider them to be clutter. It’s true, many people display their collections in a cluttered, unfocused manner. But collections give a home personality and soul. They represent things that are important to the people living in that space. When they are displayed in a cohesive grouping, collections tell a story. A story worth listening to. |

I don’t usually agree with Madonna, but I do believe it is important to express yourself. Life is for living, and creative expression in your home can be amazingly comforting and fulfilling. Here are some ideas to spark your creativity:
| In a modern home, use color sparingly but boldly – like a field of color on one wall to draw the eye to an unexpected space. If you do this kind of color block technique, make sure you want to be accenting whatever you are accenting. In this picture from coccozy, they are actually TRYING to draw the eye to the flat screen television, but that isn’t usually the case. |  |
