Decking the Halls, the Courtyard {Christmas 2012}

 

Step out back into the courtyard…

The color red is dominant again this season as I always like to coordinate the inside with the outside. J & I treat the courtyard as an outdoor room. Red goes really well with all the green lushness that already exists in the courtyard.

A mixed green wreath surrounds the clock. The wreath is filled with C9 clear bulbs. It looks so festive at night.

The bust, Mi-Shell-Angelo, is adorned with greens and red orbs.

Three large glass orbs from NoMas (Atlanta) hang at different heights and offer holiday color.

Two real magnolia garland are draped on each of the den windows. They look great from inside too. They have dried considerably due to the recent heat wave.

The courtyard shines and is fun to view from inside.

  2. Your courtyard is beautiful, Ron. I love the reds with the tropical lushness you have. Blessings to you. Next Tuesday is a Silence and Support day for bloggers. If you email me I will send you the graphic. I can't email you because of the NoReply (it is so stupid) thing. xo Diana No one that I know has figured out how to fix it on the "new blogger" xo Diana
