_: Monochromatic with a splash of color...

I lean towards monochromatic design palettes overall-

The holidays are no exception.

There is just something so classy about whites,

and the patina of muted golds and silvers.

While I gravitate towards the monochromatic palette,

I do incorporate a splash of color where I see fit in order to enhance

my designs.

My family room console table and dining room buffet

are host to my obsession of soft whites, shimmery silvers, and subtle

muted golds, but there is always that pop of color that will make it's

way into my vignettes without overpowering the original

intention of the classic monochromatic design that I love so much.

These shimmery baubles floating inside one of my creamy white

bird cages, allow for the right amount of color on an overall

monochromatic holiday vignette. The little red bird perched atop the

outside of the cage brings colorful "life" to the design.

So go ahead, experiment with a monochromatic palette in your holiday designs,

and apply a touch of color wherever you see fit. And, while nothing says winter like

soft white, shimmery silvers, and muted golds; a little color here and there

added subtly of course will give an unexpected touch of life to your designs.

I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season as much as I am...

XX,

Betty
