Miy Project creation and photo by: Madeleine M Langlois
My Christmas in Paris "theme is based on a composition of the mixture of old and again. my grandmother's table always set with the finest porcelain and antique silver. Oil paintings, painted by my grandfather, adorned the walls. His party decoration was formed with stylish satin ribbons, crystals bright, and an exquisite white Christmas tree decorated with colorful ornaments but a few. Place cards, cookies Christmas and a custom centerpiece coordinated the whole. She always used fresh green and flowers to decorate your home.

Even though I selected thecolour palette is nostalgic, a combination of turquoise, green and blue pastel colors in similar tones in the middle of accents of silver, angelic white and brown chocolate. As a child, these unusual combinations of colors Christmas made a big impression on me. My board this year is a tribute to my grandmother who is now 98 years old. You could say that influences the style with the traditions also are passed from generation to generation. With this concept in mind, the picture I chose a cream-colored dining room set by Tommy Bahamas. This game was very close in resemblance form and style to the look he wanted to recreate. Although this particular set is intended for planting Bahamas, which is much more fashionable, it worked very well to achieve my goal.

It was painted silver, added details such as: glass bead stripes, fuzzy wool fantasy white and silver, covered with beads, ribbons estate, jewelry and glass pendants (from other items I have recycled).
