love CHRISTMAS!!

Holiday cheer!! Does it get any better than spending an evening listening to the incredibly talented Highland Park High School choir sing their hearts out in the Spirit of Christmas!! SO young and so beautiful--that is the present for this season!!





With our home being themed in Black and White it needed that one punch of tradition and what better than RED! In our transitional/contemporary space editing is the key to that "perfect" amount of color and trimmings.With the decision on crimson we introduced 2 velvet 20" pillows from Pottery Barn (sorry gang I think I got next to the last 2 at the Knox/Henderson spot!) and on the coffee table in a cool wire sculptural bowl (purchased in--are you ready?--Estes Park,CO.!!-never know where the perfect treasure will be found!) filled with about 5-6 dozen assorted size silver balls is ONE red ornament! (found at ZGallerie--another treasure trove if you have a very discerning eye for the unique and definitely cost friendly!) Also around the neck of our lounging one-of-the-few-antiques-left bronze deer is a flowing ribbon "scarf" of vermillion.
WELL--"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" fa lalala-lalala!!!
