I've expressed before how much I love reading the special Holiday issues published by magazine brands, so I was delighted when the folks over at Holiday with Matthew Mead offered to share a peek inside their 2011 Holiday issue. Packed full of craft ideas and cookie recipes from foodie bloggers, the magazine also provides inspiration for a variety of Christmas decorating schemes. With colour palettes from pinks and whites through to traditional red and green, I was impressed at the breadth of the styles and taste points covered in the issue's 144 pages. (Pssst! You can see even more from the magazine this video preview!) I really like the all-white space that has used paper stars and layered textiles to add interest but the moss wreath-cum-candle surround was my top tear from the issue. What's inspiring you from this peek inside Holiday with Matthew Mead?

Love that white xmas tree with the fans and colorful ornaments!! Going on my pinterest board, right now! :)
ReplyDeleteI like using the white textures instead of red+green too. Also the oriental influenced christmas tree looks like a good match for our Summer Christmases down under :) SO EXCITED
ReplyDeleteI have the same favourites as you actually :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I like that pink and red tree. very layered and a great colour scheme! The fans on the other tree are rather gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteLove the red tree with the great ornament and gift wrapping ideas!
ReplyDeleteThe white tree is like going back in time to my parents house in the 70's! Such a vintage style about it.
ReplyDeleteI still LOVE red as a Christmas colour! Everything looks so festive.
Ooh I love the apple wreath, so different and fresh! And the tree thats all red and white is just stunning...im loving red and white with a splash of aqua for this years xmas palette!x

How lovely, so many gorgeous ideas to inspire! Those white on white rooms are my favourites xx
ReplyDeleteCool blog, follow you! I will come back for sure :)
ReplyDeleteLove the last pic - green is such a calming colour. Great!
ReplyDeleteooh, the candle basket is a brilliant idea, we've been rolling and dipping our own beeswax and i'd be wondering where to put them. sweet to be able to see them.
ReplyDeletewe're planning all sort of white paper crafts to decorate for winter. i love them because they are very wintry and less christmassy, so i'm happy to live with them through december and january. x!
One day I will have perfectly co-ordinated christmas decorations, one day... :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is the white with shots of bright colours and pink roses, so pretty!
I love white xmas, it's just a mania... but this year I'll choose white and blue, like the beautiful inspirations by Paul Lowe, seen here in your blog! Thanks Will

I love the idea of white decor ... I think it's the whole white Christmas notion. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo funny because this morning as I was driving to work, I was noticing some moss growing on some trees near a lake and I thought, "Hmmm...I want to do something with moss." You must have read my mind;it looks great with those candles;)
ReplyDeletegosh wouldnt know what to pick :)
