Just put up red velvet drapes in my livingroom as I have it in Victorian decor using many antiques. My dilemma is, I don't know how to mix the existing pink garlands and wreath with the red (almost maroon) of the drapes! Help! I spent alot of money on the pink stuff and just can't pitch it yet. Love pink. Any advise????? I have been using pink for 11 years now! Just put up red velvet drapes in my livingroom as I have it in Victorian decor using many antiques.

There's a bit of green and red in there of course but a whole lot of other colours too. My sister and I buy each other a decoration or two each year as part of our Christmas present and we have built them up over a few years, there's lots of individual decorations about but each of them mean something to me. Sometimes my Mum ties decorations round the napkins at Christmas dinner and everyone takes theirs away with them. I'm going to do a blog post every day in December about Christmas past, present and future - quite a challenge for me! And I'll post some of my decorations and the stories and memories I have with them there.

No tree in there. All of my Texas ornaments are going on garland. The playroom is for my daughter and I'm decorating it in an all ballet pink "I'm dreaming of a PINK Christmas" theme. I have a white 3-4' Christmas tree that's going in there with all pink ornaments and a pink tree skirt. I'm hoping to find a couple of cheap pink feather boas to intertwine with white garland to put up on the 2 windows. The living room is going to be my favorite. I'm decorating it in a "Very Glamorous Christmas" theme. The colors are lime green and rich red. We've always had hand-me-down ornaments that really weren't my style. I donated those babies to Goodwill today. This year Mama gets the tree she wants! My annual keepsake ornaments are going on an ornament tree that I found online so I can display those and continue to add to that collection but it won't muss my Glam tree. ;) I also found a stocking stand (since I don't have a mantle this year) to display our handmade monogrammed stockings. I CANNOT wait to get back from my SIL's so I can get started on decorating!! .-= Tara´s last blog ..<a href="http://designonpost.wordpress.com/2009/11/15/who-is-this-person/" rel="nofollow">Who is this person?</a> =-.
