Come on in to the Acorn Cottage dressed in her holiday splendor. I am a traditionalist, so I always use red, green, gold, and silver to compliment my seasonal decor. Each year I try and add and change up a few things here and there, but for the most part my decor stays similar from year to year. I love to walk into my home during the month of December. Christmas decorations have always put me in such a great mood.
Come on in... take a mint or two!
The front table features some of my favorite glittered deer and an arrangement of red berries, conifer branches, and glittered sticks. The front table also holds a favorite seasonal candle.
In the window, a blue-colored demijohn sits on a lucite pedestal. Each window features a gold bay leaf wreath hung by a plaid ribbon.
The stockings are hung on the door handles to the sunroom. Each stocking was purchased many years ago from Ballard Designs. Each features a wooden R and J so that Santa knows who to leave a special gift for.
Cedar greens and glittered ornaments hang from the top of the secretary. My favorite Holiday Nest candle, a framed NYC photo of J and I, a couple dapper deer, and seasonal reads fill the desk area. I also love the hand painted ornament of the Acorn Cottage that hangs from the secretary key, and the napkins by August Morgan.
On the coffee table, an old-fashioned Santa, a Revere pewter bowl corrals vintage ornaments, and a candle all sit in a gold tray.
On the hutch, cedar garlands drape the top as two new silvered wreaths hang in the door. The wreaths are a new purchase from Red Onion of Baton Rouge.
On the side sofa table, a collection of plaid balls lay on a bed of cedar.
And the tree.....
Merry Christmas, y'all!
Your home is Christmas ready!! All is lovely. I like to shop Red Onion when I visit my Baton Rouge friend.

ReplyDeleteGood morning, Ron! I absolutely adore your traditional style of decorating. The addition of new silver wreaths on the the secretary are so pretty! I would love to walk into a living room like yours--so classy and festive! I would want to leave it up all year! Have a great day! xoxo
