Little Bits of Red

After putting away all of my holiday decor,
I noticed little touches of red here and there in some of my rooms...
not necessarily intentional.









I'm actually liking that subtle pop of color in January.












And even the not so subtle!



Every room needs a little bit of red, don't you think?







Keeping the spirit of Christmas alive into the New Year.



I appreciate all you sweet friends who have hung in there with me
during my first year of blogging. Thank you for all of
your visits and your encouraging comments!!

  6. Hi Mary Alice,

    Your hints of red are beautifully soft and subtle. Red is my favourite colour so I have used it in bigger doses (a whole armchair!) around my place!

    Have a lovely weekend,

  12. As usual, I love most everything you do, but my favorite is still the enamelware cake bin with the breadboards. :) I LOVE red, so there are touches of it here and there in my home as well. Love to you!

  16. Luv it!! I agree.. we all need little pops or not so little pops of red :-)
    I deChristmassed the home yesterday, and left up pine cones, red berries , dried magnolia leaves and cotton bolls. Leaving me with a colour scheme of creamy white, brown, faded green and red. Luv it..
    Cheers, Gee

  35. You do subtle and not so subtle red very well Mary Alice.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh I do indeed love those pops of red, I don't like having to put most of the red away after Christmas. This year I found a way to keep some of it out by tweaking it a bit into "winter them". Your vignettes are all beautiful. Mary
