Holiday Rooms in White – Whimsical Home and Garden™

Today I want to share home with Christmas decor that might just elicit a few ahhh’s. Decorated quietly and softly in tones of cream and white, it is the kind of decor that slowly draws you in, and then as you notice the details, you cannot just see, but feel the understated elegance, softness, and sophistication. This lovely home was built in 1865 and is located in Spain. Sophisticated in these neutral tones, it stills says it’s Christmas gently and elegantly within a setting of the sunny Mediterranean.

I found a few more rooms from different homes decorated for the holidays, and also done in neutral tones.

What do you think? Do you like the neutral approach, or a more colorful one? As for me, as long as there are lots of tiny white lights on the tree, in swags and garlands, lights on dimmers, and candles all around, I like holiday decor either way. For those of you that do Black Friday shopping, I hope you had a good time. I have slowly been bringing up all my holiday decor from the storage room. For a long time I said that I wouldn’t have designed this home any differently. Well, I was wrong! I should have put in an elevator when we built it.

Thanks for stopping by. laters, charisse
