| Tortoiseshell & Tartan |
Time got ahead of me this year
and I did not get to put out
all my usual decorations this year.
I did take a few pics of the living room to share.
Nothing
says Christmas
like
Royal Stewart Dress Tartan.
That's the great thing about having
a neutral room.
You can throw in some
holiday pillows, flowers, and some
accessories and the room
has instant holiday pizzazz.
Hope you are enjoying these
quiet days that follow the
holiday rush.
xoxoxo~

I also ran out of time and did not get all my decorations out. Never got the dining room done at all, oh well my brother did not come as usual on Christmas day for dinner. So now I am happy I do not have to put it all away!
ReplyDeleteYour living room is beautiful and with all the red it feels very festive.
Happy New Year!
Love all the plaid!
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog this week and what a joy it is! I love your style and the cozy feel of your home. I decorated this year with tartan for the first time and really love the look. Thanks for the inspiration!

So festive! Love the unpredictable mix of tartan and tortoise- and a spot of leopard- all so beautifully done- it doesn't look like you ran out of time at all!
ReplyDeleteCheers and Happy 2015!
Alison,
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think it will look fabulous the rest of winter and other than the tree, you don't have to take down much. So pretty.

Oh Allison, your home is always stunning. I drool every time I see one of your rooms. Love the Tartan and Tortoise, how perfectly fabulous. I wish you a very Blessed and Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as always, Alison! I love the tortoise pattern on those goblets! They are beautiful! Hope you had a great Christmas; and best wishes for a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOh Alison, your tartan and HORSE theme is so lovely! How I could have a summer home nestled somewhere in the woods of New England with a horse ranch...oh yes, that's me! My husband gave me an antique wooden horse; I am reminded of him as I see your beauty here!

I love the tartan and leopard combo! Your living room looks just beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing this!!! I am posting a tartan table tomorrow:)
ReplyDeleteYour home always looks beautiful! I didn't have time to do a holiday house tour post yet. Yeah, now that the tree is getting dried out and dropping needles I will end up taking pictures...lol. Well, actually I did take a few pictures but I haven't had a chance to load them on my computer yet. Oh well. I love all your red and plaid. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I look forward to reading your blog in the new year. Best wishes for 2015! Cheers! - Shelley

Tartan is a traditional theme for Christmas and looks gorgeous in your living room. Your tree is beautiful! I wish you and your family a wonderful new year ahead. Blessings. Pam
ReplyDeleteTartan and tortoise makes my heart sing, Alison. Your living room looks festive, warm, and welcoming, and your collection of boxes is stellar. Your style inspires me!
ReplyDeleteWho makes the tortoise plates and napkin rings? They are lovely, and I've not seen them before.
Taking down the tree today. Makes me a tad sad to see it all packed up in plastic tubs. Hope you enjoy your tree a bit longer.
Happy New Year to you and your family.
