One of my favourite parts of this years xmas decorations is this giant paper chain the step-sons made. It snakes along our hallway in glorious colour. I especially love the play of shadows and the translucent effect produced by the down lights.
My other favourite is the entrance hall, where we have a crochet garland (handmade by The Lovely Lily) and our collection of Alessi ornaments. My husband has long been a devoted Alessite and one of our new traditions is to add to our collection each year. The Alessi ornaments are a lovely mix of quirky, cute, funny and they're also sometimes strangely poignant.
Lovely! I love the colors too! It's so pretty! Your decorations are great! We aren't decorating this year! Next year we'll double our efforts!
ReplyDeletehow delightful! i haven't made a paper chain in forever; makes me think happy thoughts of childhood. :)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of Alessi ornaments before, and now I am intrigued! So wonderfully whimsical!
