For the last few years we have had the honor of entertaining my husband’s family for Thanksgiving. Because they all live out of the state, we celebrate Christmas during their visit. We decorate our house and exchange Christmas gifts.
The downside of our decorating early is….I KEEP decorating until Christmas!! Every day I change something or find an empty niche somewhere. I’m driving my family absolutely crazy!
As you’ll see from the pictures….I LOVE RED! As I read all the wonderful blogs that I’m addicted to, I notice that many very talented women are decorating with more neutral whites and grays and blues. Well, I just can’t seem to get rid of my red!
Here’s my very red house!
