Last month, I challenged CasaSugar readers to show off their festive holiday looks in the
Su Casa group, and offered two lucky participants the CasaSugar swag of their choice as motivation to get their photos in. Well, you certainly didn't disappoint! If you missed any of the great looks, check out
this roundup of the holiday decorating.

Create an icy cool look for an
Italian Christmas Eve by using silver, clear, and diamond accents.
Cover the table with a damask, sage green tablecloth. Set your nice china on silver chargers.

While some families go whole-hog when it comes to lighting up the night around the holidays, others see it as a waste of time and energy. Where do you stand?

With lights, ornaments, and the tree, Christmas is a busy holiday in terms of decorations, but if you let the tree be your focal point, it's easy to create a clean look for
any holiday cocktail party. Set a red table runner down the middle of a banquette. Place
the appetizers on large gold chargers and arrange on the runner.

If you have
no time to cook dinner, you won't have much time to worry about the table. However, set aside 15 minutes to transform your everyday dining table into a beautiful
Thanksgiving table. Cover the table with a cream-colored cloth and brown runner.

Use a combination of white, bronze, and gold to create a rich looking
Thanksgiving table. Cover the table with an embroidered runner and mirrored place mats. On each setting, place a white plate and a gold napkin.

Even
on a budget, you can achieve a beautiful and elegant atmosphere for
Thanksgiving dinner. Cover the table with a brown cloth. Search for a tablecloth that is on sale, or if you have access to a sewing machine, purchase some cheap fabric and sew a tablecloth.

For
election night, go patriotic with the decor. Serve
the food on modern, red trays. Since
Liberty and I are hosting our bash at
a local bar, the napkins and plates will be paper and plastic.

Walking around the tasting tent at the
Food Network NYC Food and Wine Festival, I came across a fabulous decorating idea — it's perfect for Fall or the holidays — that I plan to re-create in a tablescape. You can to, here's how to:
- Start by covering the table with a simple cloth. Arrange a thin layer of gauzy fabric over the tablecloth.
- Sprinkle the table with rose petals in a color that matches the party's theme.
