The JOY of red!

I’m quite obsessed with touches of red in my Christmas decor this year. I honestly don’t know what the deal is, it’s just appealing to me for some reason. I added bits of red to our family room mantel and it’s all over the kitchen, which I’ll show you soon. You can see our cutie little red and white kitchen tree here.

Last week I showed you the decor I added to our bed of all places, and tonight I wanted to show you the mantel in our master bedroom as well. Yes, we have a fireplace in our bedroom. Yes, I LOVE IT. Yes, I about passed out when hubby wanted to add it to the “list” when we built our house. No, I don’t regret it one. bit. :)

One of my simplest Christmas projects I’ve ever done is also one of my favorites. I took wood letters from Hob Lob, painted them Santa Red (that’s the name, heee!), then hung them with ribbon from the wallpaper art hanging over the mantel. I hot glued the ribbon to the letters, then just used tacks to secure them to the “art.”:

005006

The result for three bucks:

001 Ack! I still love it every. single. time. I look at it!

This year, I added some more touches of red -- I replaced the regular candles with bright ones from Joann’s (two bucks total!) and then stuffed some poinsettias into the vase:

010 012

Do you say poinsettias as spelled or “ettas?” I say it as it’s spelled. No clue!

When I showed you this project last year, I also gushed about my BFF, Mr. Good Will. :) I had found a ton of garland and some gorg lights for a steal. This year, said lights about put me over the edge. I don’t know WHAT is wrong with me this year – I have broken a TON of stuff, including a bunch of light strands. As I stood there the other night telling hubby how much I adore these lights, I touched one and the little bleeping thing just exploded.

Another strand later and some major muttering under my breath, I got it looking fab again. I spent another $10 on the lights because I love them so, but at least the first set was cheap, right? (And look where that got me!) I just think they are so pretty!:

022 021

For a couple more little updates, I added tufts of the Big Lots garland into the garland, as well as a few red bulbs here and there:

016 020

I added some greenery and bulbs to the little Goodwill candlescape on the table next to the fireplace:

033034

Don’t worry, I won’t light them! :)

Ten bucks for a new set of lights (fists shaking in air!), and two buckaroos for candles. I absolutely LOVE this spot:

029

I swear, why is it so easy to decorate during the holidays? Is the lights? Is it the cozy feeling? I want to leave it like this year round, I am not kidding. Is that wrong? If it is, than I don’t want to be right! HA!

{Please ignore the crooked pictures and lamp shade. Focus on the mantel, umkay?)

What colors are you loving in your Christmas decor this year? Red fills me with JOY. :)

    Red is my favorite color and always brings me 'joy'. Your entire home is beautifully decorated and I really love the mantle and above it. I think the lights, the decorations we add and the sense of love makes it all more cozy!

    I'm loving red this year, too. I am also drawn to the lime green and pink, so I'm trying to include that in other rooms and on our main tree I have a bunch of different colored ornaments. Your bedroom mantel looks fantastic! I didn't realize just how large the JOY letters were until the wider shot ~ they look great! I love that idea.

    Love it! What a fab idea, and super easy, super cheap!! My home has touches of red all year long, so I have gone to other colors for the holidays. Black and Gold on main tree, touches of blues and silver-entry/dining/living room. The kitchen has some of the new "lime" green and red, goes well with the elves!!

    Green is my absolute favorite color - EVER. I think there is some green in practically every room in my house. So, you'd think I'd go nuts on green this time of year, right? Uh-uh...this year it's red/burgandy and gold. Don't ask me why, but I'm lovin' it!

    When I was a kid, my mom never did any seasonal decorating. Sometimes we had a tree, and some years we didn't. Aside from the tree, no other seasonal decorating took place. My MIL, OTOH, changes her decor seasonally and does a beautiful job. My hubby also has a very artistic eye for things. Seriously! We always joke that he's the better decorator. :-) (Although I am getting better at it.)

    This year is actually the first year that I'm thinking about what should *go* where, not just what *fits* where, if that makes sense. Prior to this, I was so busy with my 3 kids in 2 years (yes, 2 are twins are one spent the first 6 months of her life in the hospital), so making the house beautiful wasn't exactly top priority.

    So, thank you for all of your amazing beautiful and frugal ideas. I have greatly appreciated the glimpses you've given us of your gorgeous home!

    Love your JOY over the mantel! What a fun idea.

    Can I throw a ? out there for you and your readers....off topic....I am thinking ahead to spring. Do we have a time when we talk about spring decor/mantles etc? I was thinking it will take me from Christmas to winter decor and I need to be thinking/planning spring and Easter! :)

    I love your red and happiness. This year I went with apricot, peach, silver, green and white lights. I put some old sequined covered fruits in an apothacary jar along with silver balls. I filled another "a" jar with apricot balls and silver beads. I filled 2 large hurricane lamps with big white candles surrounded y silver beeds. The tree has white, silver and apricot balls on it with white lights and snow flake tinsel and silver glittered bows.
    Love you and Merry Xmas to you.

I have used so many of your ideas/projects to decorate my house. Even your wonderful table settings.

    OOOh, Sarah. Loving your red motif. and your pretty "joy" creation.
    This year in our household we went with a new theme- silver and burgundy. I dug out a brand new unopened box of decorative "potpourri" I had forgotten that I had purchased from Joanns- a combo of silver glittery stemmed grapes, glitzy beaded pears and apples, and frosted silver pinecones. all poured into a glass cylinder with a basketweave burgundy candle nestled inside. Sooo sharp! Also,Pink and burgundy glass ornaments, cranberry garland, and elegant beaded garland in pinks, burgundy and silver adorns my tree. I just love it!Wish I could share it with you if I could just figure out how to download pix from my digital camera!

    You're right about decorating at Christmas being so easy. Maybe it's just that we're all in the mood to enjoy our decorating rather than fuss about it. Whatever the reason, it sure is fun!

    For me, it started 2 years ago w/my KitchenAid mixer - red. At first it was limited to the kitchen - all red accents. But it has since gone into the living & dining room - just accents. But love pops of red.
    At my mom's we do red in fall/winter, box it all up and then do turquoise in spring/summer. Need to do it in my own house! Feels sooo good when seasons change.

    I'm obsessed with red year round! Plus once Christmas is over the red can stay up for Valentine's Day :D

    LOVE this!!! Where did you get your candle sticks at? I only have clear crystal ones, but would love to have some black or dark brown ones.
    Thanks!

    I really like the JOY on your mantle. Here is my question though, did you make the canvases that the JOY is hanging behind or did you buy them that way? I like the design on them and am looking for something similar!

    Thanks!

    I love what you've done!! And for the record, pronounce as spelled, it's more elegant :)

    You can hear word pronunciations here. And, it seems, either way is correct. Who knew?
