This holiday decorating season for me is definately the 'Year of the Wreath'. For some reason I need new wreaths for several places...the remodeled room for one and the front door for another. I love making wreaths, probably because they are so easy and always seem to turn out looking good no matter what you do. This wreath, for the window in the media/library was inspired by one I saw in a back issue of Victoria magazine.
I love the idea of adding red roses, I had a little trouble finding them this time of year...poinsettias, hydrangeas, berries, holly, but no red roses, and then I remembered buying a rose nosegay on sale when I was in the check-out line at Michael's last fall. I ending up pulling it apart, they were perfect for what I wanted.
You wouldn't know it from this view but my Sugar Plum tree is just around the corner, but that is for another post.
Do you have wreath fever? Or is your holiday decorating going in another direction. From what I am seeing, simplicity, natural materials, and re-using what you already have seems to be the focus this year.
Thank you for visiting.
Gorgeous!

Just about the highest compliment I can give is to say that something is pretty - I value that old-fashioned quality so much. The wreath is very pretty and perfect for the window!

It is such a nice wreath Adrienne! Your pictures arealways beautiful! Catherine
ReplyDeleteYour window coverings make for a perfect frame around that lovely wreath. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuch a peaceful setting. Your wreath is absolutely divine. Beautiful pictures, as always.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm back again. I keep stopping by to gaze at your last photo. The family room looks just perfect...and the wreath is beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteThese wreaths are so beautiful Adrienne! You are such an inspiration. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour wreath is gorgeous, Adrienne! Your room is beautiful, too! I love wreaths and usually use natural materials for mine.
ReplyDeleteYour wreath is stunning, Adrienne! I am not good at making wreathes at all. I usually buy a simple pine one at Trader Joe's and do some additional decoration on that one, that's pretty much it. I'm okay with that - I like simple (probably because that's the only thing I can manage).
ReplyDeleteYour wreath turned out so pretty! I'm going with a natural looking for my decorating this year too.
ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty! Love it! Thank you for the visit and the sweet comment @TheDedicatedHouse. It means the world. Hope you're having a grand evening. Toodles, Kathryn
ReplyDeleteOh, what a perfectly yummy room! What a lovely place to sit with a good book and a cup of tea. And the wreath is beautiful! (so is your mantle, a later post). I'm going to follow you; I hope you'll visit me and follow if you like what you see :) .
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lovely wreath! I commend you most for considering the overall color of your room though - the red and orange look great with your window treatment, and the lush green of your trees make a beautiful background! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI personally think this article is fabulous. I agree with much of the information here and am inspired to read more on this topic. Thank you for keeping things interesting.
