Christmas with a Tuscany Feel

It's fun to watch my clients newly decorated homes continue to redefine themselves throughout the seasons of the year.  As I work with each client to "redesign their homes and their lives from the inside out", transformations occur both within the home and the client themselves.

In a project I did earlier this year, we transformed my clients dining room into a space that reflects her love of wine and the Tuscany region.  The beautiful blue and gold tones anchor this space and are reflected boldly in the gorgeous rug from Grandin Road.

The new Hooker Furniture Archivist round table and chairs invite all who enter a place of welcome and honor at the table and the canvas artwork depicting Lake Como announces the mood and intent of the room. Lemons placed on the table runner and and an olive tree set in a deep blue planter complete the mood of this space.

I'm delighted to share some holiday decor photos of this room, with one of my client's adorable cats playing host for this evening in the photos.

In picture one you see her delightful Christmas tree from Balsam Hill, which I have to say is one of the easiest and greatest designs that I have ever seen for a tree. I'm now in love with this company and recommend their trees to everyone.

My client has some gorgeous ornaments that she's collected over the years and we are making the shift from her predominantly red holiday decor into the new blue and gold that she has introduced into this room. One way we did this was to add the blue plaid ribbon from Ballard Designs to anchor a blue color into the tree.

On the other side of the room we have this gorgeous Wine Bar from Pottery Barn, holding the owners special collection of fine wine and bar accessories.  Her crystal is stored here along with some holiday decor we've tucked inside. The gorgeous "Berry and Bright Garland" up top is from Frontgate and it really defines this area. I've arranged her glasses and bar accessories so that they really play up the colors in the room. I love her copper Moscow Mules, so they had to have a place of honor and loved her collection of silver bowls and Ralph Lauren Glen Plaid Old Fashion glasses with the faceted cuts.   For a bit of whimsy, I added a book titled Restoring Italy behind the glasses in the bar, as a nod to the redecorating work we've done in this room.

My client already had this adorable light up Wine Santa that we set next to the wine bar and I introduced the iron wreath holder in front of the stair railing so that we could display her wreath from Mackenize Childs.

Her adorable cat Allie is still here following her around the room as she took each of these photos. He always has to have the last word on these things, so here he is in the last shot. He's on the stairs peeking through her Mackenzie Childs wreath in the room and wishing everyone very Happy Holidays!
