Snowed In


We are expecting a blizzard today in Boston so the after-Christmas sales will have to wait, but several hours of guilt-free interior design web and blog browsing lie ahead.  Fun! Then some shoveling ahead. Not so fun.  And although Christmas 2010 is over, it's still "the holidays" which means that my ongoing interest in Christmas decorating is justified.  It's never too soon to plan (although I use the term loosely) for next year.


This room was designed by Pam Pierce of Houston and the photos were featured in the Houston Chronicle, December 2009.

I like the use of pears, surrounding an olive tree in a French terra cotta pot.  What a clever, inexpensive way to bring some natural color and texture into holiday decorating. 

 


White roses, more pears, and branches decorate the dinner table.


Here's a view of the entire roomThe greenery above the curtain rods is another pretty and inexpensive way to liven up rooms for the holidays.

If you are in New England, hunker down for the storm and stay warm!

  6. Isn't that something, we've already had 42" of snow this month, and right now nothing is going on, and through the coming week there is no prediction for us to get snow. My son lives near Philly and they are ready for the snow too. I hope you don't get the 20" that they say could happen!
    I love the topiary tree in the window with the fruit piled around it... neat idea...and the container it's in is great!
    Stay warm and don't leave home without a hat, scarf and gloves!
