I have not had a chance to pull down the Christmas bins of decoration from the attic yet, but I wanted to start decorating out house. I decided to go with a red and white look this year and here is the start.
I bought a fresh Juniper garland and some ruby red pomegranates from TJ's.
 |
| Raffia apples |
 |
| Rusty Crusty Sconces |
 |
| At Night |
I added a few touches to my dinning table as well
My bedroom even got a few touches of Christmas!
 |
| I made a red and white bunting from fabric scraps |
 |
| An Orchid in Ironstone |
 |
| Frosty Ferns and a polka-dot Reindeer |
I am sure things will change and get rearranged after the bins come down, but this is a start!

ReplyDeleteThank you Rose-I hope the decorating of your trees went well!
DeleteI'm loving all the red and white and simple touches and you haven't even gotten the bins out yet. Great look already!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim- I know you are another red lover!
DeleteYou are off to an amazing start that inspires me since I feel I'm days away from getting fully started on decorating. I've always loved using fruit as part of my holiday decor, your mantel looks wonderful as does the banner in your bedroom.
ReplyDeleteLovely post, DD!

Thank you Jane-I love using natural things for decorating too!
DeleteLooking beautiful. xoox Su
ReplyDeleteThank you Su-I love the red and green together!
DeleteVery pretty - love the pops of red!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marie-I love them too!
DeleteOh, yes, it's all so wonderful, it already feels complete. Now I have to say the Faux fire surround and mantel is fabulous and the mirror tops it all off. Perfect choice with the greenery and reds, I am seeing so much of it this year that I too had considered doing some red, red not truly being my colour, and it would be a,far reach for me to do so, but I am feeling the look everywhere I look and I really love how it makes me feel, maybe I will add that one little piece of red.
ReplyDeleteMy dear truly there is not a thing here I would not add to my home, I just added sconces to my home, and yours I would have also snagged up I'm a minute and they perhaps would have flanked my kitchen hutch top.
Looking forward to what comes out of the attic.
See you soon dear, keep inspiring your beauty we all love so dearly.
Xx
Blessings
Dore
Thank you Dore-for some reason I was just feeling like red and white this year for the holidays. Aren't crusty rusty sconces the best? I hope to get the bins out of the attic this weekend and decorate the rest of my house with my daughter's help. We will be going to chop down our Christmas Tree too-love this family tradition!
DeleteThank you for sharing your gorgeous mantel at Vintage Inspiration Party. I love this elegant look, and the pomegranates and rafia apples are the icing on the cake.
ReplyDeleteThank you Betsy-I like the red apples and pomegranates too!
DeleteLove all the cheery red & white! Thanks for sharing your mantel, and I totally love how the bedroom looks.
ReplyDeleteThank you-I was feeling the cheerful red and white thing this year and am glad I went with it!
DeleteI love that cotton boll wreath! And I also especially love the look in your bedroom with the bunting and the red and white pillows. Lovely. Question for you, have you used live evergreen garland inside before? I'm wondering how fast it dries out and turns brown. I purchased some this year intending to use it outside, but I really want to use it inside instead. But I've read a few things online that suggest it won't last. Do you have any experience with that?
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda-the cotton wreath is from Decor Steals.com and I made the bunting from scrapes of fabric. I used a real juniper garland on my mantel last year and this year. It does dry our, but still stays green just a darker green. I think it still looks fine even when it is not fresh so I say go for it!
DeleteOK, I'm gonna do it! Thanks Darrielle!
DeleteLove it all! I always want to decorate with pomegrantes but they're so expensive so I usually don't. Yours look great, perhaps I could find some faux ones....I'm a fresh greens fanatic myself, got two garlands this year. Yours looks perfect on the mantel. I've always wanted a cotton wreath as well.....looks like we have very similar tastes!xoKathleen
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathleen-luckily for me the pomegranates were very reasonable so I went with it-my daughter wants to eat them though!
DeleteThanks so much for joining us over at Vintage Charm! Hope you can join us again at this week's party starting on Thursday morning! xoKathleen
DeleteI love all the fresh items you have used. Your red and white bedroom is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellis-I am liking fresh things this year!
DeleteLove all of the texture mixed with the green and red on your mantle! Beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteThank you Caroline-I like the reds and the textures too!
DeleteDarrielle!!! This is an absolutely gorgeous tour! Pinned and Shared. Thanks for linking up to the Your Home Decor and More Link Party!!
