The holidays are upon us and once again I have created a Christmas garland for our front hall.
This year's color theme was inspired by the red, gold, and green of the metallic Tartan wrapping paper I found at a local pharmacy and a pre-loved Federal mirror that I purchased at a consignment shop.

To view this and additional photos of Christmas garlands used on stairways, doorways, and over fireplace mantels, click here to be magically transported to New England Fine Living's blog.
