CHRISTMAS: THE WARMTH OF RED

Hello friends of CBID!  I hope you are having a wonderful season thus far - not too stressed?
I have been so busy decorating this year, that I have completely neglected my posts - 
but I have so much to share with you!
Christmas decorations come in all colors.  I truly love this time of year. Whether its silver, gold, white
turquoise, pink or more traditional colors, holiday decorating is a fun way to express our joy for the season.
But for me, nothing warms up the Christmas spirit quite like RED.

No color provides that 'pop' of color better than red...

 Red is the perfect compliment to green - so all those boughs of holly,
garland and wreaths are at their best when red is around...

You don't need a lot of red to make a statement...

Like a Saturday
It lends itself to all styles.

Nothing says Christmas quite like RED.

It almost seems to have more impact used sparingly...

although why use it sparingly?

GET READY FOR CHRISTMAS: MEET THE HUMBLE PINECONE

THE HUMBLE PINECONE
TAKES CENTER STAGE FOR CHRISTMAS

I love a 'natural' look.
A look of fresh greens, berries and pinecones,
with perhaps a touch of frost....

CHRISTMAS DECOR: COLORS OF CHRISTMAS - RED

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)

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

inviting 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
