Hi! I never got to show you guys my red and white Christmas decor, did I? Due to runaway camera issues and all!
Almost before I shooed the last Thanksgiving guest out the door a few weeks ago I was running around, de-orangeing and de-cheddaring, de-pumpkin-ing the house. I LOVE autumn and the deep rich colors, but geez, enough. Six weeks from Columbus Day toT'giving is too much of a good thing.
This year I am going for that white beachy-Nordic look, with touches of red...but berries and folk art are creeping in!

Red Christmas toile pillows, red and white quilts....
red and green tranferware...
Swedish hearts in an old bowl..
Amaryllis....
In bloom!
Roses and berries...
Natural linens...new, French! from Target.... :-)
And trearured heirloom, trousseau hand spun, hand woven Swiss and German linens from my family. My great-grandma brought hers here in a handmade wicker trunk! [2nd mongram]....
I'd love to tie those Swedish hearts on the chairs for Christmas dinner...and I was so inspired by IKEA's red gingham heart pillow I drove all the way out there to buy a few.
But no. Not in NY,lol.
