Christmas Wreath Number One
Each year, during the holiday season, I put up no less than 35 wreaths around my home — on the windows, doors and out in the yard.
Here is the first one I’ve put up so far. It’s in the foyer {I’ve been on a blue kick, lately}.
I make all of the wreaths {and bows} myself. Most of them are different, some are faux and some are real but all of them are colorful. The Christmas season is the most wonderful time of the year to color your home!

Choosing A Color: Tantalizing Teal
When New York Fashion Week wrapped up a couple of weeks ago, Teal was one color that created a buzz.

Typically, the color teal is a medium to deep blue-green. Teal has started appearing in home decor as a slightly different and deeper alternative to the ever-popular turquoise.
Teal is such a great, relaxing paint color for your home — especially for those of you who prefer richer hues. Teal is serene but not washed out. I love pairing it with contrasting hues such as red, pink, yellow, orange and warm-green.
