Each year I release myself from the holiday madness by watching others go crazy. While shopping at Ikea recently, I was relieved to see this lovely Zen inspired display in the framing section. I love the fresh green and black scheme of this vignette and how easily you could DIY. Sticks and stones...shadow boxes and hot glue! I'm such a merchandising and display stalker! Window shopping is the best shopping ever - because it's free!!!
Wouldn't this be an interesting Christmas theme? The smaller presence of red (just the red hangtags poking out) makes this so refreshing and modern! Hmmm, maybe I will try this next year (got no energy this year - I'm just adding gold and silver to my chocolate and persimmon Thanksgiving decor to make it work - saw this at Ikea too!). And to make the Zen Christmas theme uber modern and globally inspired, I would love to try a large scale ikebana sculpture in lieu of a Christmas tree, using green bamboo poles. Below are some inspirations.

Great job! Thanks.
