Many people like their Louisville homes to stand out during Christmas with unique Christmas decorations that no one else has. The more unique the Christmas decoration, the better it is for these homeowners.Unfortunately, with how things are mass produced in today’s economy it is sometimes hard to stand out from the crowd. This is when you have to think beyond the normal decorations and try something new for your Louisville home.Unique Christmas Apron CurtainsIf you have ever walked through a store at Christmas and have fallen in love with the Christmas aprons they have out, but can’t justify purchasing them because you would never wear them, then this decorating idea is for you. Go ahead and purchase that cute apron the next time you see one because you are going to use it now you just aren’t going to be wearing it.Instead, this cute apron is going to be hung in your kitchen window or mudroom window as a window treatment. It won’t cover the window as much as shades or blinds, so you aren’t going to remove those window treatments you are just going to hang the apron in front of them like a unique Christmas decorative curtain or valance.Who would have ever thought that there were other uses for aprons than just wearing them?String Beaded Garland and Hang OrnamentsOrnaments and beaded garland don’t need to be restricted as just Christmas tree decorations. For a unique Christmas decoration for your window, take the beaded garland and string it in your window. You can string it across just once, in multiple rows or even in a zigzag pattern; whatever you feel works best in your window.Next, hang Christmas ornaments on the garland. The beads in the garland will keep the ornaments in place so you won’t have to worry about them sliding around. The best ornaments to hang are ones that sparkle or shine so they will reflect the sunlight during the day and the Christmas lights on your house at night. You will also want to use ornaments that will not easily break in case of being hit by window treatments or batted at by pets, so no family heirloom ornaments.For an added effect, border the inside of the window with white lights. The lights and cords should not be able to be seen on the glass, but the light will add increased illumination to your ornaments making it your own unique Christmas window box.Source: Better Homes and Gardens
