Red!

Normally you'll hardly see a speck of red in my house because I lean toward lime green, pinkish orange, turquoise and yellow. But at Christmas I break out the red and love it. The first sign of a transformation is the yucca in my front yard tipped out in red ornaments.

Then more red on the front-door wreath ...

... my coral fountain by the front door that blooms this time of year ...

... and the doormat inside.

I bring out the red dishes ...

... and sprinkle poinsettias around the house.

The red and green quilts come out ...

... and red pillows and couch throws replace the lime green ones.

All around the house, I deck the rooms with touches of bright red.

Even my hand weights, by the fireplace, fit in. And that's my post for today, which is also my birthday.

Have a colorful day
