What's In A Card

The Christmas Themes continue over here at the Chalet! Today I’m sharing a bit about the special Christmas Cards I’ve incorporated into my decor.

I think you all know what a huge Nutcracker fan I am. This card from my husband for Christmas 2013 reappears as part of the decor every year.

I hope you can see how cute this pop-up card is we have for our Son this year.

These cards are from beloved family members who are no longer with us. I pull them out every year and am so happy to re-read their loving messages.

This is an original Water Color Christmas Card by a friend of my grandparents Helen Flemming. It was sent in the 1960’s to my parents. I re-framed last year.

You can see quite a few cards interspersed in the branches of our tree.

Holiday Decor Round-Up

Christmas as we know is the most wonderful time of the year! This week in keeping with the Season I thought I would share some (OK a lot) images that really resonated with me!

I must start the piece with this image from Emily A. Clark. I shared a link to it in last week’s post - this was the inspiration that led me to the Nutcracker display on my sideboard.

How brilliant is this dark and dreamy space. Pop over to The Makerista and see her lovely home!

The most wonderful bits of color abound at Charlotte’s house and in her busy life.

Keeping with more color - how incredible is this lovely family room in Eddie Ross’s home!

There is so much more to holiday decor than simply a tree or the traditional colors. Here are fun displays by Turner and Moss, Paige Minear and Kimberly Duran.

Hayley

Hayley of Mum Little Loves is a lady who’s design approach I admire so very much. Her blue and white home always leaves me gobsmacked!

This mantel display is perfection! The simplicity by Monday Monday Creative is stunning!

I am a huge fan of Nicole and her Sweet Domicile - her son’s room is so festive. I love carrying the decorations throughout your space and this is exactly what she has done brilliantly!

Jo Galbraith

Jo Galbraith has a delightful home full of comfortable pieces; beautiful colors - soft blues and greens. It oozes charm! This year she went with blue and white for the first time with great success - it marries back to her chinoiserie effortlessly!
