R is for RED
One can have a Red Letter Day, receive Red Carpet Treatment, go out for a fun evening and Paint the Town Red, or catch the Red Eye Flight to squeeze in just a few more hours of vacation. Red is a color that can elicit many emotions: passion, love, anger, power, danger, joy, happiness. When used in decorating one's home, red will provide a variety of style or set various moods. Here at HFTS red can be found used as an accent color brought in through details and accessories.
As you can see red
comes in many shades from
red red to berry red to rusty red to . . .
What is your favorite color of red?

I really enjoyed your pictures! I'm off to see some more.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite red? My red couches are cranberry. My favorite on this post? Definitely the plaid plates! Where did you find such plates? They are spectacular!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
Sarah, your reds are beautiful. Your post is very clever and I always enjoy reading it. I did a RED post too.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen is pomegranate red. Chairs in the living room are raspberry red and the drapes in the dining room are raspberry silk. Every room needs some RED!
ReplyDeleteGreat R!
Good morning Sarah,
ReplyDeleteLove your gorgeous reds, every one of them but you know my favourites are the hen & rooster that you found in Paris.
I painted the walls of our library/sitting room "Dining Room Red" 13 years ago and love it still.

Sarah, I always enjoy your Alphabet posts. Your reds are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Johanna
Good Morning Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI never met a RED that I didn't like but Christmas RED is my favorite. I see you have a house full of RED too and you also shared a clown..how sweet is she!!
I hope you are doing well. Have a great Thursday!
Red is my very favorite color!! I enjoyed every single photo very, very much!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the red. I love red that has a little blue in it.
ReplyDeleteI loved the rooster with the red. My favorite red is the red with blue in it, the orangy reds and me not so much!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Sarah of all your red...Red is a happy vibrant color, and really shows ones personality.
ReplyDeleteYour home must be an absolute treasure trove of beauty! I love all of your red, but I love all of your other colors, too, Sarah! You have GREAT things! Very shiny, indeed...
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
I enjoyed seeing all your reds. Very nice photography. I guess I'm more a rusty red kind of person.
ReplyDeleteYay..how fabulous! What a gorgeous post of reds..such charm and character and whimsy..loved it! I adore that red feather...what a beautiful treasure, I have never seen one of those..gorgeous! Wow..that was fun..thankyou for dazzling me with red magic today!
ReplyDeleteKiki~
And thankyou for such beautifully kind comments..so appreciated!
Sarah, you must put so much time and thought into each of these posts. Beautiful treasures and so well displayed!
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteI loved your red post and taking a peak at all the fun red things you have in your home. I have always loved the color red. Other little girls loved pink, but I loved red. When I could choose a couch, I choose a red one (Red Couch Recipes). I have a lot of red throughout my house and it speaks to me. It is a happy, vibrant color and I will be by to snag your red and white striped plates...shhh...don't tell anyone. Joni
ReplyDeletegorgeous, loved all the shades of red :D
ReplyDeleteWhar a great R post. I love Red and all shades of it. LOvely pictures
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a lovely "red" visit today! The "Entertaining" cookbook was my first Martha Stewart. It was such an inspiring addition to my library. Now I find myself being inspired through my blogging friends.
ReplyDeleteBest,

ReplyDeleteWhat a great choice for R. Red is my favorite accent color too, to the point where I have a red coffee pot and red toaster :) Kathy
ReplyDeleteWhen asked my favorite color as a child Red was the answer, however over the years I have rather neglected Red as a color in my home, blue has dominated. Now we're hoping to find a red sofa for our newly made space, .....so your post was realy well timed to inspire me...thankyou
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! I love seeing all of your redness! Love all of your Roosters! You have the prettiest thing.

such pretty uses of RED!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSarah, I saw so many wonderful treasures in this post that I don't think I've seen on your blog before-the edge of that pretty quilt, an adorable dancing chicken couple, those beautiful throw pillows, and some wonderful art work. Of course, I've seen that French rooster and hen before and also that red checked china, but I still love both of those treasures so much. Your vignettes and pictures are wonderful, and I'm so glad you linked this post to Favorite things. laurie
