HOLIDAY GREETINGS

e are pleased to present 10 lovely homes in this from . With each charming style, you are invited to leisurely page through and enjoy fabulous photography of rooms overflowing with seasonal panache. From professionally styled homes to those adorned with collected, sentimental décor, each feature shares many ideas for both traditional and contemporary accents of the season. From festive front entrances to engaging garden patios, treasures of the holidays welcome you home with tables set with finery, mantels of fresh greenery, gifts under the tree, and stockings hung with care. You’ll also find plenty of twinkling trees bedazzled for many holiday design aesthetics, varying from bright, traditional colors of red and green to dream-like, sophisticated palettes of silver and gold. This year more than ever, we may choose to linger a while longer together at home by the fire, or perhaps gather around the tree laden with ornaments, ribbons, and gifts as we count our many blessings.
