I asked Joy how she created this stunning look and she said, "It's two strands of garland wrapped in three strands of 100 lights. I work each strand individually and wrap it with the garland so that the cords don't show."
"Then I start placing the ornaments. I cluster small and medium ornaments together, similar to a cluster of grapes, and then add the larger ornaments as highlights."
"Some of the larger ornaments are the same color and some are accent colors."
"I've always used silver, red, and pearl ornaments, but this year, I added some touches of blue."
Joy, thanks so much for sharing your beautiful banister decorated for Christmas. It's breathtakingly beautiful!
See you tonight for Tablescape Thursday!
Wow, that is amazing! Your friend did an amazing job, it looks stunning. Diane

ReplyDeleteHI Susan, this is beautiful! I saw something like this over a mirror and they used mostly vintage ornaments....it was gorgeous! See you tonite!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Debbie
Gasping here too! Absolutely gorgeous! Wow!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! That took a LOT of work and patience and talent and skill...all the things that at this moment I doubt I have in comparison!!!! I have not put up one single decorative item inside for Christmas yet. No tree, no garland, no wreaths...nothing! I just can't catch the bug yet this year. I'm hoping to awaken tomorrow with a great deal of energy and imagination to fuel the decorative spirit. Here's hoping!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI wish I still had a bannister to decorate! I love this look. what a beautiful job!

Fondly,
Pat
That is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are calming and high-end! Joy has a sophisticated eye! Love the details on the ornaments. Are they glass or plastic balls? I'm afraid I'll be a copy-cat on this one! It's just too beautiful!! Don't worry, I'll give Joy all the credit! Thanks for sharing Susan!
