Make Your Glamorous Holiday Entrance




Nothing says grand like custom pieces made especially for your particular home or space. Customizing these garlands for over the door and down the side wall sconces makes a space feel tailored and elegant.  We love to enhance pieces you already have. The urn was an antique purchase by this client and we have designed seasonal pieces to insert into the center for a wow factor upon entering this home.


We love to make an entrance (with our decor, of course). Long artificial swags were chosen to accentuate this beautiful iron detailed door. Their front door cement urns were hollowed out and lined with fresh pine branches, cones, and berries. Lights were added for night time parties. If storage is not an issue, artificial greens can be designed and stored from year to year in place of fresh pine.

Creating a Christmas Mantle

Mantles present many challenges but there are many different solutions to achieve a well designed mantel to fit your style.


We took the art from this mantle  and replaced it with a natural wreath with matching topiaries to compliment and flank a coordinating garland. A few gold gilded magnolia leaves added to natural pine, stems, cones and berries adds just enough sparkle to this hearth room fireplace. Gold urns for the topiaries speak to the leaves and give a festive holiday feeling.


                                       

You don't have to remove art above the fireplace to add holiday trim, instead we framed this art with simple berry topiaries in clean white urns; just enough to get our client in the holiday spirit without hassle. Using her lidded vessels already in holiday color helps unify the look.


Another example of leaving art above the fireplace is this religious piece that speaks volumes to the Christmas holiday, underscoring it with a greenery garland and adding colors to compliment the art as well as the room in picks and ornaments. We dangled some lightweight ornaments off the edge to create more depth and movement, which provided more interest to a mantle design.
