Loved seeing this article in Home Companion about textile designer Amy Butler's holiday decorations with husband David in their modern home in Ohio. Love their color palette of sour apple with robin's egg blue, silver, white, and wood tones. Catch the vintage paintings mixed in with bits of industrial furniture. And I especially love the poufs under the Christmas tree made with Amy's own fabrics - they almost look like giant gifts.
Absolute eye candy.
thanks for sharing I will HAVE to buy this issue for sure.
Love her style and her home ...

Wow, that really looks beautiful! I'm furnishing my new home at the moment and have found some perfect pieces of rustic pine furniture.. but with Christmas coming up, there's some added pressure to get this done, and much of my thoughts have turned to Christmas decorations. This has given me some great ideas!

I absolutely love these and will have to send them to my mom. I live on Maui so it never really feels Christmasy here. My mother gets really into it and last year she did a starfish Christmas tree.
