Holiday Tradition at Endicott Mansion

Earlier this month, the Danvers Historical Society held their winter gala at the Endicott Mansion at Glen Magna Farms. Florists and artists were invited to deck the halls. I was more than happy to return to this former show house to style my decorated rooms with wintery floral arrangements plus a bit of holiday glam. With snowflake-like wallpaper from Farrow and Ball, the decorations could remain simple ...

Inspired by ... my winter garden room

I am missing my summer ritual of heading outside each morning to enjoy a cup of coffee in the comfort of my garden room. I did venture out into my yard this week on one of the warmer days and took a picture of the winter garden. These rose hips are beautiful at this time of year. In the early summer they have an amazing scent that causes me to linger even longer as I sit and contemplate my daily to-do list. For now, I must confine my daydreams to interiors, while I imagine designing a space with winter white, brilliant red and just a touch of cool sky blue.
