First off, I always like to decorate with white plus a color. The look is easy on the eye and a snap to change out when I get bored or inspired by a new hue. So no red and green for me...
Unless green is for greenery as it is in my courtyard garden. Here, fire engine red boots are overflowing with white geraniums for a whimsical look. Jumbo manzanita branches are spray painted red to create a fantasy forest backdrop.
Now for some ideas for indoors...
A simple garland and wreath in the guest room will make your loved ones feel special. Here, I used faux garlands to accent the bed. I cut off a bit extra to form a small wreath and discreetly pinned it to the lampshade. A small spruce or rosemary tree adds a naturally festive scent to the room without the safety issue of unattended candles.
With my passion for shells, I reinterpreted the traditional fruit centerpiece with sea urchins spray painted white and hot glued together. Sea fan chargers spray painted moss green add a touch of color.
Here's an idea for an individual place setting. Star shaped cardboard craft boxes are coated in glue, encrusted with crushed shells, then embellished with faux greenery. This hand made trinket box is a gift in itself!
Orange is my favorite color of the moment, and no one "gets me" better than Hermes! Here, my stuffed goose is sporting my favorites Hermes scarf and toting one of their signature orange packages. How's that for effortless holiday decorating!
As you may know already, I recently launched a new E-tail business called ShoeClips.biz. Instead of Christmas stockings, my mantlepiece this year is sporting my favorite shoes with embellishments from my line...lol. There is a shoe clip just right for every person on your gift list and every shoe in your closet!
David, Wylie and I wish you all a lovely embellished holiday season!
