The Christmas tree in the Garden Room at my friend’s historic New Orleans mansion. (above)
This is the story of two very different Christmas trees at one grand home in New Orleans.
As mentioned in previous posts, this past weekend I was in New Orleans staying at the St. Charles Avenue manse of dear friend FF and her husband CCF. I flew south to wish their son (who happens to be my godson) a Merry Christmas and to attend their fabulous holiday parties. In one night, they throw two parties…one for the kids (about 50 of the m in total) from 4-6p and then that same night, at 8p, the house is transformed from a child’s Christmas dream into an elegant adult holiday party.
So anyhooo…during the holidays, three Christmas trees grace this regal home – a huge formal gold and white decorated Christmas tree in the Front Hall, another huge colorful Christmas tree in the Garden Room of the home, and a final tree (not shown) that stands on the second floor balcony on the exterior of the home in a way wishing all who pass by Season’s Greetings.
Love all of the trees at this New Orleans home…appeals to the different sides of me! Would love to be able to even squeeze half of a tree into my little Hollywood Hills cottage! đ
Ornaments on the Garden Room tree are colorful and playful…they include candy cane decorations and a myriad of colorful handmade and store bought unique ornaments. (above)
Christmas elves sit below the tree in the Garden Room and ready themselves for the children’s party. All the regular furniture is moved out to accommodate the one of the party spaces for dozens of children. (above)
The formal Front Hall Christmas tree sparkles with a variety of gorgeous gold and white ornaments, lights and gold tassels. (above and below)
I hope these holiday decorating posts from New Orleans have given you a bit of inspiration for your home!

Such beautiful trees! It’s really been a treat seeing photos from this beautiful home – thanks for sharing đ
I love the trees, so beautiful! Have a sweet day!
I have to say, I think they are both beautiful, but the second one is GORGEOUS. I am all about the simple elegance. Thanks for sharing!

The front hall Christmas tree is dazzling! I love the gold ornaments and the white lights. I’ve had the same decorations for years and after this Christmas would like a change. This has given me some good ideas for next year.
This is where gold should be — in holiday decorating along with silver and all the other shiny and sparkling things.
