Merry Christmas Greetings!!

December 24, 2011


Merry (Blue) Christmas Greetings! No, I’m not sad. I simply decided that I really liked the touches of deep indigo that we added to our Thanksgiving decor and thought I’d continue the theme right into Christmas.

I started at the front door.  Hanging on the front door is my virtually cost free version of a wreath. The pretty blue tin container came from a little gift shop in Indiana. I originally bought it for my daughters new room, but then changed my mind. I think it’s the perfect choice for this years “wreath”.

The pine branches are leftover from when we trimmed our tree and the other branches and berries are leftovers from previous years. Even though the ribbon is the only new element here, I think this may be one of my favorite wreaths ever. Simple and elegant.

This years deep navy shows up in our living room tree and also in several places in the family room and kitchen.

 

Small touches here and there. My whole family agrees, we like this years color scheme. White, silver, gold, and creme are timeless and this deep navy adds a depth and richness that took us all by surprise. The end result is a festive, yet calm effect.

And during this hectic time of year, it’s the perfect setting to slow down, relax, and focus on the real reason this Holiday is so important to our family.

I wish you the very merriest of Christmas greetings. May your weekend be filled with warmth, happiness, and the awesome wonder of this Glorious season!

White, silver, gold and creme are beautiful separately and stunning when put together. I really liked the Peace plate too. You really made your house look so fancy! Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
