My Christmas Decor at Night


We know Christmas decor is beautiful in the daytime but doesn't it have a magical ambiance at night? Here's a few pictures of my Christmas at night.  You'll see that my main color scheme in one part of the house is purple and the other part is gold.



This is one of my favorite ornaments. It's a Martini glass filled with the Classic Martini with just enough ice to chill it while it's sipped thoughout the night.



When placing your Christmas tree in your home, look for places where it can reflect. Use mirrors and windows to help you with this look. Doing this will double the lights and triple the atmosphere.



I love how the LED's reflect off the presents.


As you move into the living room, you'll see the main hue is gold. From the vanilla candles to the Gold Buff (Behr) walls, this color really warms my room.  

The dark green mantle really stands out against the Gold Buff background. You can't see the painting from this photograph but I chose the green that was in the painting (Tuscan Village). When you choose a color that is in existing decor, there really ties in the look of the room.

 You can't see it here but I glazed gold into the crevices in the mantle to give it an additional yet subtle sparkle. 


Santa dangles over the edge of the mantle and watches the family enjoy the Christmas season. Dark red and green velvet stockings complete the look.


I hope you've enjoyed a glimpse into my Christmas at night.

Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy New Year to All!!!
