Home Tour Update

Remember when I told you about the Christmas Tour of Homes I was asked to participate in? Well, the tartan plaid I ordered for one of the houses arrived yesterday afternoon, and it's beautiful - but not what I had in mind (ideally). I will make it work though, and I'm confident that its significant presence throughout the space will make the room look perfectly luxurious!

The theme: Adirondack Lux
The inspiration:



The concept rendering:
The good stuff:

So give me your thoughts! Does it look like a cozy cabin Christmas in the foothills of the Adirondacks?

    I think it looks really great! Are you using the tartan fabric for a screen? If so, you might consider putting the matching throw pillow on one of the chairs instead of on the sofa in front of the screen... I really like the symmetry of the trees on either side of the sofa!

    I'm grabbing a blanket and a cup of coco for the results! I love the thought of feathers and of course the plaid. Lots of rough texture, too, which you have -- YUM!

    I'd love to see the final room. Please tell more about the Christmas Tour of Homes. I live about an hour and a half south of Buffalo in Bradford and would love to come up for the tour. Peggy from PA bfdgirl@yahoo.com

    I love it Artie! This look is my favorite. Plaid, wicker, pine cones, etc. all make my heart go pitter patter.

    I've loved plaid forever, plus a Ralph Lauren look and a lodge look. Can't wait to see your take on the style. Bet it will be great. Sally

    Artie- I'd say you HAVE it, baby! It is going to look great and I know you will pull it together. I grew up not too far away and I can see your design saying "home sweet home" to me! Hugs- Diana

    Hi Artie,

    You may have heard by now that the beloved Visual Vamp needs our help.
    I am hosting an online auction this Friday to benefit Valorie and could use a bit of help spreading the word.
    Please stop by my blog for more details.

    All this makes me want to spend the holidays at a place featuring all the elements you've included. There is a really cute electric fireplace at plow and hearth that I would add to my own little cabin in the woods!
