If you’re interested in adding a bit of style to your bedroom, consider revising your bedding and bedroom furniture to match. Though furniture is a bit more expensive to replace, it’s easy to dress up your bedding to match your furniture through use of duvets and pillow cases. For example, for more rustic beds, you might consider bedding with more earthy tones like green, taupe, crimson, or orange. If your bedroom is comprised of more contemporary metal furniture, think bold tones like blue, black, or even purple.
If you have a mix of furniture in your bedroom, you might consider updating it if that’s an affordable option, or repaint and refinish it instead. If you can’t do any of the above, use the bed as the central focus and build the theme of the room around it. Through doing this you can create a stylistic space that you will love to return to after a hard day.

In most respects, setting a Christmas feast is much like setting a Thanksgiving feast, and the two share a lot of common dishes. To have a delicious Christmas spread set on your rustic dining room table, you will want to begin by selecting a main dish. Though turkey is by far the most common main course for Thanksgiving, during Christmas you might consider a nice pork roast, or a ham as a departure from common tradition. Side dishes for Christmas might include bean casserole, cranberry sauce, potatoes au gratin, bread and rolls, or salad. For dessert, pumpkin pie is a favorite, but apple pie or even something more unique like rhubarb pie is also appropriate.
During Christmas you might also consider a dessert tray of homemade or store bought cookies. To drink, consider coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or eggnog to accompany an after dinner treat. Also remember to prepare special dishes if you have vegans or vegetarians amongst your guests!
