DELIGHTFUL DECOR FOR CHRISTMAS IN NEW ORLEANS – PART 4!

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! 🙂

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)

I hope these holiday decorating posts from New Orleans have given you a bit of inspiration for your home!

    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.

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!

Perfect for sending as a birthday gift, celebration, expression of love or friendship, a business gift, a thank you to someone or I recommend ordering for yourself every couple of weeks to cheer up your space as we stay at home more!  I plan on getting them weekly!  Anyhoooo...I’m linking to the bouquet in my profile.  Have you ever ordered flowers for yourself just because?  Who might you send these to?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
