Barclay Stone Interiors

Spent the latter half of this afternoon assembling the wreaths for the front of our house. Instead of the traditional red & green colors, I like to use pink & green. Preppy with a twist of fun!

T'was a month before Christmas, And all through the town, People wore masks, That covered their frown. The frown had begun... Way back in the Spring, When a global pandemic Changed everything. They called it corona, But unlike the beer, It didn’t bring good times, It didn’t bring cheer. Airplanes were grounded, Travel was banned. Borders were closed Across air, sea and land. As the world entered lockdown To flatten the curve, The economy halted, And folks lost their nerve. From March to July We rode the first wave, People stayed home, They tried to behave. When summer emerged The lockdown was lifted. But away from caution, Many folks drifted. Now it’s November And cases are spiking, Wave two has arrived, Much to our disliking. It’s true that this year Has had sadness a plenty, We’ll never forget The year 2020. And just ‘round the corner - The holiday season, But why be merry? Is there even one reason? To decorate the house And put up the tree, Who will see it, No one but me. But outside my window The snow gently falls, And I think to myself, Let’s deck the halls! So, I gather the ribbon, The garland and bows, As I play those old carols, My happiness grows. Christmas is not cancelled And neither is hope. If we lean on each other, I know we can cope Merry Christmas! See more

Looking forward to a day of learning with Salimah Mamdani at Fully Booked Designer tomorrow! I created a pink & blue chinoiserie vision board for the day - featuring JFFabrics - their cream grasscloth wallpaper, blue fret tape trim, Draco dragon pillow fabric and Radiant drapery panel fabric! Florida-inspired Chinoserie rooms are my most favorite design style! #jffabrics #fbdlive Would you want to live in this fun, colorful room?
