True Blue Christmas Story

Elizabeth Boland · Dec 20, 2011 ·

 On December 23rd 1986 my Mom decided to ask me one last time what I wanted for Christmas. Asking a three year old what she wants two days before Christmas is risky. Instead of asking for a doll or a puppy, I asked for Blue Presents. So my Mom did what any good mother would do, she went out and purchased blue wrapping paper, unwrapped all my gifts, and re-wrapped them with the nice new blue paper. I don’t know if Santa got the wrapping paper color preference memo or not, but I take pride in the fact that I could appreciate a perfectly color coordinated Christmas spread pre Martha Stewart. This story (I can’t say memory because I don’t actually remember it) will always be one of my Christmas favorites. Not only does it show how truly wonderful my Mama is, it demonstrates that I pretty much have always been ocd. 

My Mom definitely set the bar high when it comes to the holidays, so whenever our future little blessings ask for a particular style or color theme for their Christmas presents I will be happy to go all out!

About Elizabeth Boland

I am a wife, Mom, and an Interior Designer. I love my job, and I love the fact that I get to work with one of my best friends. My Mom and I are partners in our Washington DC based design firm, Wilson Boland Design. In January 2010, we opened an Interior Design Studio in downtown Bethesda, which has evolved just as much as our business!

I started Haute Indoor Couture in the spring of 2011 to share portfolio pictures, inspiring ideas, and fellow designers with our clients and friends. I live for Interior Design and I love sharing my passion and enthusiasm with my readers. Most of the content you will find here is interior design, architecture, fashion, or canine related.
