Blue Christmas

There's something calming and serene about blue or turquoise Christmas decor.  Although I love it, I always worry in my home that it will create a 'cold' look; living in chilly New York, this is the last feeling I want to create during such a warm, jolly season.  Below are some images of blue holiday decor done just right:

Holiday Decor: From my home to yours

A soft focus glimpse of what's in progress for holiday decor at our home this year (this is an unusually sunny day for December in New York, so my apologies for the lighting)...
