My lovely little Lillie informed me as we started decorating a little while ago that she was pretty sure Christmas was supposed to be red and green, not all white. Although she is not perfect =), I have to say she said it in the sweetest little voice and seemed somewhat concerned - as if possibly I didn't know this fact. So, I decided seeing how we had already finished the downstairs and we were doing pink in her room that I would try to add a touch of red either in our bedroom or to the porch. Our new cranberry reindeer pillow was finished and ready to be photographed right before I started decorating our master bedroom so I thought I would try it in there first. Even though it was just a little touch I have to say it just wasn't me. I do really love the pillow though so I've decided I'm going to go with red out on our porch so I can use it there. I am hoping to get that done later this week. That's my last space left to decorate. So, this red lasted about ten minutes and then I settled for something a little more me which I will show you next week. And yes, I know, I had planned on painting my room Revere Pewter and still am planning on it but am going to hold off until the new year. There has just been so much going on these past few weeks that I can barely see straight. And due to the time of day I took these I had to crank my ISO WAY up so they are super grainy. Sorry! I wish I had taken the time to get my tripod out. Ugh!
The beautiful wreath is from Lynch Creek Farms. They have the most beautiful greenery. I will share more about them later this week!
The reindeer pillows are now for sale in our shop:

Love that room and adore your reindeer pillows, looks so awesome there, actually!
ReplyDeleteLil is just too cute, give her a big hug.
Take some time to chillax, too, lady or you will have a heart attack from stress!

So funny that you couldn't keep red in your room very long, because I LOVE red. The pillow looks great! :)
ReplyDeletei love the look! Dianntha
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww... that's so cute and sweet that Lillie thought that maybe you were being a little clueless about appropriate Christmas colors, and she was letting you down gently. Off to catch up on so many posts i've missed!

Haha! So funny. I wish I could do everything neutral at my house. Adrienne would spill or color on something too fast for all that, though. I also made a stick arrangement in the living room. William put Christmas balls on it, too! I can't believe he thought of it and I didn't. Men. Sometimes they actually know what they're doing...
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is fabulous... I love it !!!!!!! How do I go about ordering one ? Also love the room. YOUR room looks amazing... What color paint is that on the wall...LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Have a blessed holiday season .............. Love Sherry @ The Rusty Pearl

I am with you on the red...it's my least favorite color, which is why you only find it in my house at Christmas. This is my first year doing a neutral tree and I really love it. Our whole dining room is neutral and coincidentally enough, my striped wall is revere pewter. I love that color!
ReplyDeleteJennifer - I agree on the red, in this room it just doesn't seem to speak to your style. I do love the pillow though and I'm looking forward to seeing it on the porch. :)

ReplyDeletebeautiful...przepieknie...magnifique:)!
ReplyDeleteI am with you... I love the red reindeer, but not in this room. I wonder what it would look like if the pillow was red and the reindeer white?? Hmmmm.... I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! I don't know how you do what you do! I just have two trees up and they aren't even decorated!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the Prancer pillow. I'm surprised Lillie didn't want you to make them all with the sleigh and Santa. Your bedroom looks beautiful. The flowers and wreath are gorgeous. About your hot chocolate bar , is that hot chocolate powder in one of the glass jars? I usually just find packets. I need to find some more glass jars. I have a couple of the apothocary ones. Where did u find yours?
ReplyDeleteYes, we have two different jars with two types of hot cocoa. The smaller one is a "fancier" flavored kind and the other one is just god old swiss miss. They sell it in big cans/tubs (I'm not sure what they call them) at our grocery store right next to the packets.
DeleteYour understated approach to holiday decorating is so lovely and stylish!
ReplyDeleteI love the new pillow-I have your silent/holy night pillows displayed in my sunroom and LOVE them (I posted about them today!)I adore the colour of your room, but I'm sure the new colour will be amazing as well.
ReplyDeleteOh Deer! Only 25 more days until Christmas! Starting shopping Dear Lillie today!
ReplyDeleteYour pillow designs are the perfect gift for many on my list. Your designs are timeless and classic and add a lovely touch to any home. Thank you so much for all your hard work and time. We all appreciate everything you share with us and for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteVery nice pillow. I'm with Lillie. I have to have some red and green with the white and silver I like. I find in my climate (MI) white is too anemic and washed out during our cold and dark winter season. I like whites during spring and summer though.
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny! My kids say the same thing so we decorate their room with crazy red and green as much as they want :) I love the pop of red with the reindeer, so so pretty! hope you are doing well, have a fabulous weekend with your gorgeous family.XO

I love the red berries! Are they real or faux? I'm always looking for ways to incorporate color from nature in the fall/winter.
ReplyDeleteThey are real! I got them at our grocery store. =)
DeleteI absolutely love red and I love seeing it in grown-up ways. I think you did a great job and I can't wait to see you porch. Blessings!

I love the red pillow and think you should leave it where it is! It gives a little life and personality to all the neutral. I love lots of color and find the all white a little clinical for my taste. The red warms it up and makes it a little more inviting for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you get Christmas Wallpapers of the chaos. Report all over the place, bare discs, Christmas Cards bare take in wine bottles along with try to get at lowest one right at the end of the day time showing precisely how exhausted most people are.
ReplyDeleteDear Lillie,
ReplyDeleteLove that room and adore your reindeer pillows, looks so awesome there, There's no way to mistake your points of interest. I enjoyed this writing very much and I agree with your ideas.
Thank you.
Where did you get the bed? I'm looking for one just like it. That room is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The bed is from Skyline Furniture.
DeleteI really love your dresser with the wreath. What color is the paint and where did you get your dresser?
ReplyDeleteI love the color of your dresser. Is that a new dresser or an old one with new paint. I am trying to find a color that is similar to this one with the wreath.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thanks. I got it from Joss and Main and that's the color it came. =)
