Tomorrow is Christmas Eve (!), and if you haven't yet had a chance to get the guest room ready, I figured you might need a little inspiration and motivation to do so...in addition to your spiked egg nog, of course.

Obviously there are many beautiful bedrooms out there, and--you know me--I tend gravitate toward the blue and white ones, but for this pre-Christmas post I decided to brake out of the blue and white box and share rooms that feature red and green color palettes.

Here are some of my favorites:

The second wedding in my new weekend series comes to us just days before Christmas! Many brides want to take advantage of the built-in vacation time around Christmas, but don't want a Christmas wedding. I admit the only theme I like for a wedding is a wedding theme, but I absolutely believe the season should inform the feel. One nice way to acknowledge the season without coming on too strong is to incorporate tartan touches into winter wedding decor. The classic plaid pattern is perfect in place of a theme for the more traditional bride.

Whether it's with a sash, table settings, shoes or the ribbon around the stems of the bouquets, there are many ways to incorporate tartan into a winter wedding:

Just a quick Friday Finds post for today, as I am on the island, and I seem to have misplaced my computer charger off the island--not good as we prepare to go out of town tomorrow for a week! 8-/ 'Tis the season! 

On a happier note, Pottery Barn is offering specials on some pieces from my favorite line of their paisley bedding--a beautiful print called "Rayna"--check it out!:
