Plaid Is "On Point" This Christmas


Plaid is a big trend for Christmas 2016. 
I'm thrilled because I adore plaid. 
Visions of all things Christmas have been dancing through my head the past few weeks. 


I was pleased to see that Pottery Barn had plaid throws again. 
Bill got me a gift card for my birthday so I used it to buy the Denver Throw. 
It is adorable. 


I couldn't wait to try out a little vignette on the mantel. 
It didn't stay but it was fun playing. 
Did you know that you can make a stocking out of an old pleated plaid skirt? 


A few years ago, I found a good pleated wool skirt at the thrift store. 
Because of the pleats there was a lot of fabric and I could envision pillows.
The dry cleaners looked at me a little funny when I asked them to press out the pleats. 
A seam ripper helped take out the waist band. 


One of the pillows graced the love seat a few years ago. 




There was a remnant left to make a stocking.
It matches the Pottery Barn throw perfectly.


The snowman came from the school gift exchange last year. 



To see the one I made last year out of sweater go to this post. 


This mantel has such a fun, traditional feel.
Please stop back by to see where else plaid is making an appearance.
Are you using plaid this Christmas?

  6. Hi Katie, love the plaid, it is so pretty. It is very popular. Your home is lovely Katie. I just bought some plaid salad plates. I hope you look into getting your own domain. I have changed over many bloggers, including dear Jemma.
