Yesterday Jeff and I hung fresh mixed roping at the home we are decorating for the Roosevelt Home tour. The front is decorated with 2 large urns filled with fresh mixed greens, pine, long needle pine, spruce and curly willow. The roping is made of incense cedar, long needle pine, balsam and fir. There are little bits of lichens mixed in, its stunning. Since the home is from the 1880s, it has lots of Victorian influence, and the colors are putty and mustard, with cinnabar red accents. I will be putting cinnabar red bows with lots of long streamers to add grace and to pick up the accent color, and clusters of large pine cones as a nosegay by the bows . We also wound fresh mixed garland around the light pole and a side porch railing, and accented the wrought iron mail box pole with a pretty swag of mixed greens offset to one side. One more urn will be placed in the yard, to welcome guests to the front door. I'm glad we hung the roping yesterday, as this morning we were greeted with a couple inches of fresh snow.
