What was the inspiration
behind this Holiday look?
Moving away from a traditional
green and red Holiday palette,
I chose these white trees as
they reminded me of a white
Christmas.
Talk to us about the two
different looks?
The palette in the living room is
yellow, gold and Kelly green for
a fresh take on a traditional color
scheme and the turquoise and
royal blue palette in the master
bedroom coordinates with the
softer, calmer blues found in that
room.
We love your mantle design.
How did you come up with the
concept?
I picked branches for a more
natural garland. I’ve had the
wood carved Christmas trees for
years, and I simply spray painted
them gold. The mercury vase
adds glam and balances the
white Santa positioned next to
it. The gold angel wings remind
us that the magic of Christmas is
inside all of us!
DESIGN SECRET
Go classic with white
lights as they coordinate
with every color scheme.
If you are buying a
white flocked tree, opt
for white corded lights
instead of green ones.
