Decking The Halls!

Finally, I got it right! I've been struggling this Christmas with last year's decorations. Before the renovations I had a lot of grey in my home, and because I loved the color of robin's egg blues and more intense colors like teal, many of my Christmas decoration had those colors. And they were beautiful, for that color scheme!

But this year I went for a color pallet of soft browns. I found the greys too cold, and wanted to warm things up! So last years decorations just didn't work! So I threw caution to the wind and started all over again yup, that's right Saturday the Christmas decorations came down and I removed every ounce of blue in the house and replaced it with a more neutral pallet! 
And here is what it looks like now!


Notice the candle burning on the garland!



We lit the candles on the tree last night! So so pretty! And just simply, magical!
And while out shopping for new Christmas decorations I found this lovely mirror to replace the terrible one I had in the foyer!

I just love it!!


Sometimes you just got to start all over again regardless of how much work is involved or just how crazy it might be to tear everything down. I am so glad I took the risk, invested in the new look because nothing disturbs me more when your trying to work with a color that just doesn't work anymore!!

Now what to do with last years decorations?

Happy Holidays!!
