Red and white ornaments complement Nora's theme.

Nora's Tip: Treasure hunt for ornaments and trimmings at garage and rummage sales in the spring (when everyone's cleaning house). Looking for bargains and "cool junk" is not only budget-friendly but also a great way to get inspired with new colors and themes.
