You asked...Willow House Answered!!

Today we’re taking some time to answer your questions you had about styling and decorating with our home décor products.

Q: What are some home décor ideas for Mother’s Day?

A: Decorating for Mother’s Day is made easy thanks to it falling in the spring season. Fresh flowers are in bloom and widely available; making it a hassle-free way to decorate. We suggest creating a lovely centerpiece with our Empire Square Vase. Its cute shape allows you to create a unique and bright colored arrangement. It’s great for your home or as a gift! Simply cut fresh citrus, like lemons, and line the base of the vase. Then use your favorite colored tulips to place in the center, and there you have it — a fun and easy way to decorate and celebrate for Mother’s Day!

Q: What are some other ways to use the Eclipse Reversible Riser?

A: One of the great things about the Eclipse Reversible Riser is quite obvious — it’s reversible! We love this product because of its versatility, style and function. You can use it to display your favorite dessert like cupcakes or cobbler. Place a small vase on the center to show off as a centerpiece. Something that makes a striking statement is when it is reversed and used as a charger for a place setting. Or create a romantic centerpiece by using varying heights of white pillar candles displayed on top of the riser.

Q: How did you create the frame that the Charles Street Medallion is in on page 63 of the spring catalog?

A: This styling technique is quite simple and anyone can do it. First you need a few things from your local hobby or arts and crafts store: burlap, a picture frame large enough for the medallion, foam core, scissors, glue and a nail. First, cut the foam core to fit inside the frame. Then cut the burlap to fit the foam core. Wrap the burlap around the foam core and glue it to the backside of the foam core. Then place the burlap wrapped foam core inside the frame and secure with the latches from the frame. Then center and hang the Charles Street Medallion inside the frame — voila, you have an amazing piece of art!
