Christmas is Magical
A beautiful holiday requires a little pre-planning.
I like to change mine up a little each year -
(use different ribbon or add another element to the mantle)
(use different ribbon or add another element to the mantle)
Color unifies your home, creating a lovely transition from room to room
Perhaps its time you look at your holiday decorations to see if they need a little face lift
(retire the tired ribbon and anything remotely resembling the 80's or 90's)
Explore the color RED
The first color that comes to mind when we say Christmas
the color of Santa's suit
candy canes
poinsettias
cranberries
and amaryllis
red warms a wintry scene
creates excitement and drama
adds a pop of color
to any corner of the room
red is warm
red is romantic
red is inviting
it draws your eye
creates excitement
and is a perfect complement to green
It blends beautifully with silver
is cheery with white
looks amazing with icy blues
You can't go wrong with RED
This year, think of the details
The finishing touches that make Christmas unique
Like luscious red ribbon and bits of nature adorning your dining chairs
This year, carry Christmas to every room of your house
Wreaths and ribbon in the bedroom
or festive pillows in the family room
Create a feeling of anticipation
in each room of your house
I love love love this arrangement
of glass candy canes, berries and frosty branches
Wouldn't it look wonderful in a guest bedroom
or a kitchen?
Announce the colors of Christmas
at your front door
Create anticipation for what is to come....
scatter Christmas in unexpected places
and unexpected ways
you're not just decorating
you're creating memories
that will never be forgotten
and your home will never be more beautiful
than at Christmas time
the warmth of your home
should extend to the exterior as well
add those charming touches that invite
let nature speak with fresh flowers like
potted amaryllis and poinsettias
fresh fragrant evergreens
add the glow of candlelight
and twinkling strands of Christmas lights
and embrace RED
casual RED
elegant RED
warming RED
exciting RED
charming RED
whimsical RED
What RED are you?
a little red goes a long way
use it for dramatic tablescapes
or use for warm entries
use it to create a beautiful focal point
or a small accent....
Christmas is coming...
and then family - the best part
and reverence
and the reason
and joy
DO YOU CHOOSE RED THIS CHRISTMAS??

Hi Claudine,
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to get on your "decorating" calendar this year. We really missed your help last year and this year I have family coming. My parents, sister and her family are coming December 8th. Do you think you could squeeze me in before then?
Smiles,
V
O.K. you have me thinking about the Holiday Season. The color red goes beautifully in my house as you well know... Do you think you can plan to help me with the decorating the first week in December?

ReplyDeleteThank you! That is what it is all about!
I found this post via Pinterest. This is such a wonderful post about Christmas and the photos and ideas are most excellent. Thank you for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteLove all the inspiration.. Where is that amazing lamp from? its beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
ReplyDeleteThat may be a Pottery Barn lamp, which comes clear (empty). You can get clear glass lamps a number of different places, that can have items added to them, in this instance faux snow, ornaments and photographs. Good luck!
I LOVE all the red decor, can't wait to decorate my home for the holidays! My fave are the gift box table decorations (with the mints), great idea!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the picture with the red background and white silhouettes of Santa and children in the black frame!!! Any idea how I might find one?
ReplyDeleteB-E-A-Utiful!! LOVE THE RED!! Lots of great ideas. Thanks so much!
