Red is the New Red

But not just any red.  It needs to be the blood red, blue red of rich Italian Pottery from Vietri or the Red of the Red damask of the Teflon coated table cloths from Provence.   

And it POPS against dark pewter grey (ie Down pipe form Farrow and Ball as on our decor walls) and stark, sharp whites.  

Here we are using Christmas ornaments that are white ceramic pears with bright silver leaves as place card holders.
