Decking the Halls

Nearly every year, I change up the way we decorate the staircase/banister. This year, since I was all about simple, natural, and magical with the Christmas decorations, we went with:

- fresh greenery roping

- simple ribbon in sort of a khaki-gold color

- gold metal antique rings about 4" across

- small, mercury glass ornaments

- small, gold "berries" wired into the greens

- tiny lights on a wire

During the day, the bitty, gold "berries" add a touch of color. And at night, the ornaments shimmer in the glint of light from the tiny lights. The color scheme (except for the greens) is nearly monochromatic, which make it simple...or at least simpler than I'm used to. And I'm definitely loving that this year!
