Now that Thanksgiving, my very favorite holiday, is over, we are really focusing on Christmas. Of course, we began planning for Christmas last summer!
Every year we find a new bedding pattern that lends itself to a special theme for our Christmas window. Last year, it was a red and white Provencal pattern and our window looked like a French country home. The year before, we featured the Yves Delorme “Hera” peacock feather pattern for an eclectic Bohemian Rhapsody theme.
This year we didn’t see any new patterns that sparked a creative vision, but the idea of a classic “White Christmas” kept coming up. After all, no matter what colors or patterns we show, white and ivory are always the best sellers.
But what to choose? We had literally hundreds of choices and possible combinations of white bedding. After experimenting, we went for lots of texture and subtle tone on tone patterns.
Once the bedding was chosen and ordered, there was the fun of finding coordinating decorations and accessories for the window. Sheer organza curtains with LED lights sewn in create a magical backdrop behind the glittering headboard. Our talented window designer, Steven Jensen, wove LED flowering branches around birch poles to frame the bed. He dressed the bed with a duvet of Petite Marrakesh jacquard by SDH and lacy Adrian sheets from Sferra.
With the addition of gold and cream accessories and gifts (and a touch of red, since it is a Christmas window after all), the result is a dramatic winter forest scene. The fluffy Yves Delorme mohair throw looks like glistening snow in the morning sunlight.
