Red creates the perfect accent for any space when paired with timeless neutrals like brown or cream.

In the 18th century red garlands and scarves were part of cultural wedding ceremonies. Chinese brides wore a traditional Kwa; a heavily embroidered formal wedding gown in red and Greek brides wore red veils, which is still customary today.

In ancient history, wearing a red painted amulet, ruby or garnet supposedly made one invincible. Red signifies love, fertility, strength, good fortune, and happiness. We often see red front doors on the outside of homes across America, instilling the influence of Feng Shui.

The blending of aqua with soft snow whites and cocoa browns naturally evokes a fresh feeling of the outdoors within us.

I am an avid skier and love outdoor winter sports. Do you recognize me; I’m the one on the right alongside my sister and father. Winter Wonderland was inspired from old photographs of family ski trips to the Quebec Laurentian Mountains.

In the 1950’s, novelty designs became popular and were known as conversational prints. Using these types of prints throughout your decor can conjure up happy childhood memories and give a home a story. Whether you’re in the city or the country, rekindle those memories with Winter Wonderland.
