Dancing Dog Cabin: Merry Christmas 2015!

Merry Christmas 2015!

I love to look at every one's interpretation of Christmas. All the textured neutral, silver and blue, silver and green, all white and modern, and countless other variations of different Christmas styles. All so pretty and elegant and festive. But, because I love red so much, I always end up decorating with traditional red and green.

Red is so warm, so welcoming, so Christmas-y!

Here is all the jolly red that I have added to our family room.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and happy, peaceful New Year filled with good fortune!

Santa's plate full of goodies. When I was little, finding a plate with half eaten cookies and crumbs up on the mantle Christmas morning was always proof-positive that he existed.

What a beautiful Christmas setting. It has a bit of a vintage feel with the gorgeous striped ribbon and to match the striped red and white throw pillows. Love it.

About me

Hi there, I’m thrilled that you’ve stopped by to visit me!

I love to write, I love graphic design, and I’ve recently discovered that I love photography. What a happy combination, because this allows me to have a blast chronicling my other consuming passions here on this blog….. a running list that includes re-doing old furniture, crafting, occasionally gardening, antiquing and collecting, decorating, baking, DIYing around our California house, working on our dream cabin in breathtaking south-central Utah (the namesake, along with our two dogs, of this blog), or anything else that sets that little creative corner of my mind ablaze.

Melissa
