I love that delightful mix of rustic and elegant in a room. The gilded French chair with a chipping table next to it. A burlap covered seat with an aubusson pillow. A chandelier in every room; even if it’s a closet or a hallway. Everyday elegance; like setting a table with vintage china and fine stemware and an abundance of beautiful blooms is a favorite thing. Especially if it’s on an old weathered farm table in the middle of the woods with a chandelier hanging from the branches. I love creating that ambiance and inviting the conversations and laughs to linger a bit longer.

White and French Blue Wintry Elegance

If you’re considering a softer palette as you decorate for the holidays, there are a number of possibilities that can help you achieve a simple yet elegant look of wintry elegance. Think shabby chic with a sprinkling of glamour — soft whites, florals, and touches of French blue and gold — and your Christmas tree will be all the talk this holiday season.

Start with a 7.5-foot Noble Fir; its slightly curved, attractive blue-green branches provide both visual appeal and a sturdy base for an abundance of baubles. Start by decorating the tree with white ornaments in different sizes; I suggest grouping two or three sparkly white, blown-glass pieces for greater impact (with a large one included). Lastly, add in a few faded French blue ornaments. You may also hang Winter Frost French Blue Stockings from the mantle for an extra touch of wintry elegance.
