These feather bulbs are so elegant and rustic at the same time.
Every tree needs some sparkle!
Mom uses feathers and some sparkly twiggery to add texture to her tree. She also uses both to create a natural tree topper.
The pheasant theme carries over to the mantel with the evergreen, pine cones, berries, and, of course, pheasant feathers.
The staircase was not neglected. These beautiful bows carry the color theme throughout with chocolate brown, copper and evergreen.
To make your decorating cohesive remember these simple tips:
Stick to your color palette. Mom uses chocolate brown, copper, rust, a little gold and the green from the tree.
Keep your color palette simple. Mom's was in the same color family. Bright colors work too. Use all jewel tones, or all traditional red, green and gold, or how about retro lime green with red and silver. Whatever it is, don't go crazy with a lot of different colors.
Carry your theme through all areas, but don't overdo it. Our pheasant feathers appear in a lot of different spots, but in a limited amount. The punch comes from restraint.
Happy decorating!!

Beautiful tree! It's a fantastic color combination, and works so well with the natural elements you included! This year I'm doing the pink, aqua green thing- it's only my third Christmas in this house, so I'm still trying to get a hang of what it wants, but I'm liking what's up so far! It's so fun to explore the possibilities!
