Good Morning! I hope you are having a great week.
I was thinking today about how much I love tartan or plaid or whatever term you use. If could decorate my entire house in it I would. My dream designer is either Scott Meacham-Wood of The Adventures of Tartan Scott or Allison of The Polohouse, their love of tartan matches mine.

By the way each of these incredibly talented designers were featured in magazines this month, Scott in House Beautiful and Allison in Midwest Living.

I hope you enjoyed our little escape as much as I did. Take time this holiday to sit and enjoy all of the little things, the smile of your children, the lights on your tree, a cup of cocoa and some cookies, a beautiful book, some holiday music and the spirit of the holidays.
Have a great day!
If you love plaid as much as I do, visit Allison at The Polohouse she is hosting a plaid party this week.

What a beautiful post – I sure wonder how in the world did they make the plaid icing on those cookies? WOW I'm impressed.
How gorgeous! Pinned a bunch of these, they are all so classically elegant, a timeless look!
I now find myself compelled to listen to bagpipe music.
Very beautiful! I think with tartans, the more the merrier. I love this classic way to dress up the holiday home! Hope you are having a wonderful week, Elizabeth! xo,L
These are stunning, Elizabeth! I love tartan any time but especially around the holidays!

Lovely post and pictures too!!! My girlfriend that we are staying with is going to do a room with these kinds of plaids. She loves them!
