<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Red and green are the traditional colors of Christmas, of course, but when I think of the holidays, I also think of orange.

As she explains in a <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703882404575519763635033670.html#articleTabs%3Darticle"><i>Wall Street Journal</i> article dated October 8, 2010</a>,"I can't say there's any rule about colors that go together.

Michelle Nussbaumer's Winter Wonderland

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Michelle Nussbaumer is an interior designer and antiques buyer based in Dallas, Texas. Her background as a theater set designer is evident in the magical space she created for a Christmas party in her store, Ceylon et Cie. The inspiration for the blue and white "wonderland" was a set of twelve-foot-high wallpaper panels that feature handpainted icebergs in the Antarctic sea. They were created by the French firm Zuber in the nineteenth century. Plaster statues and a Chinese root table that was painted white add to the ethereal feel. Nussbaumer used the unique items in her store to set the stage for her event. She suggested to <i>Veranda</i> readers that they select a "theme and a limited color scheme" - such as blue and white - to "make a statement" when entertaining. The work of Margaret Gragg literally provided the icing on the cake. Her magical confections featured rock candy and snow made of sugar. Although Nussbaumer's party was a celebration of Christmas, the colors and Antarctic theme would suit a New Year's Eve gala or any elegant winter event. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip0KHaQ9XbsI74nJdhZqZOPwPqZc38s5QPkkAxG36SOg3L9go7LGn0LaFuyEX9A675RGep8OWfo6L0xSeMxLgsHLZt4mG17ToUHj7RQRKJ4AshT2HUZYXCCmSIv-SOKlYCQmdBkFNQl_ZC/s1600/BlogMichelle+NussBaumerWinterWonderland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip0KHaQ9XbsI74nJdhZqZOPwPqZc38s5QPkkAxG36SOg3L9go7LGn0LaFuyEX9A675RGep8OWfo6L0xSeMxLgsHLZt4mG17ToUHj7RQRKJ4AshT2HUZYXCCmSIv-SOKlYCQmdBkFNQl_ZC/s640/BlogMichelle+NussBaumerWinterWonderland.jpg" width="564" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Designer Michelle Nussbaumer invents  a dreamy dessert party in <a href="http://www.ceylonetcie.com/">Ceylon et Cie</a>, her Dallas [Texas] shop.

The spaces she creates are carefully edited. Each object is unique - often reclaimed or antique, so it brings a story or bit of history to a home. Ryan prefers quality over quantity, and her clean interiors give special items the room they need to shine. Her palette is calm and neutral. Blues and greens evoke sea and sky. Mercury glass and rock crystal add sparkle, and seashells provide texture. Lisa Luby Ryan's decor is beautiful, but very family-friendly. She designs elegant spaces in which to create happy memories, including very merry Christmases, as depicted in three different homes below.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLbkKWV2ycvlAoTHdWbP2ioyzihaBmwZSenpvmnTeIh7V45I4sEGa7-1JviZDYhhhGGg6wcx21r2dmfnWT5KetBFHAs61fk0qvWzgR0rMeQFcR8APRcFWRwW0y2RDQTPi6AZewFOAmRtgK/s1600/BlogLisaLubyRyanVeranda2010Christmas.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLbkKWV2ycvlAoTHdWbP2ioyzihaBmwZSenpvmnTeIh7V45I4sEGa7-1JviZDYhhhGGg6wcx21r2dmfnWT5KetBFHAs61fk0qvWzgR0rMeQFcR8APRcFWRwW0y2RDQTPi6AZewFOAmRtgK/s640/BlogLisaLubyRyanVeranda2010Christmas.jpg" width="486" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Vintage mercury glass ornaments on tree."</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interior design by Lisa Luby Ryan, <a href="http://www.lisalubyryan.com/">Vintage Living</a>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Renovation architecture by Frank S.
