Serene Scene

-

Create a beautiful setting for your Nativity set like this one in Bethany’s living room corner. Begin with a cabinet that has glass doors. Place a mirror in the back of the cabinet and arrange the Nativity pieces in front of the mirror. Surround them with twinkling lights and a bit of straw or greens for a finishing touch.

 ??  ?? At Christmast­ime, the facades of Colonial Williamsbu­rg buildings are festooned with pineapples, apples, oranges, lemons, pears and grapes. Though Bethany decorates with faux fruits, as seen in her living room, the effect is similar and lasts longer. If she finds pieces that are too brightly colored, she simply dulls the finish by dappling it with brown paint.
