I absolutely adored your
“Christmas Present”
article featuring Lauren
Liess and her gorgeous
home. It really spoke to
me because of the way
Lauren and her husband
have implemented such
beautiful, clever, and
doable ideas in their
fixer-upper with a limited
budget. I’m sure many of
us can relate to that!

We loved the rustic
elegance and charm
of Jon Carloftis’
beautiful holiday decor
(December) using sprigs,
garlands, and other
botanical touches! Thank
you for the charming
ideas for the holidays
and always.

The beautiful, festive,
snow-covered wreath on
the December cover is
so pretty,
it put me in a
joyous Christmas holiday
spirit. Thanks!

My foyer is “sunset” (a sort of terra-cotta)
and my kitchen is “sunrise” (deep yellow). My
painter never thought I’d have the courage,
because I’ve always had off-white walls. It
completely changed the character of these
rooms, and I love them, especially when we
have a sunny morning, as they both face the
east. Take a chance—you can always repaint!

I did my living room in a warm, classsic red;
the baseboards and ceiling are white. I have
a neoclassical Victorian collection of things,
so I think it works. My honey was scared,
but admitted he likes it. It’s not candy-cane
Christmasy as I had feared.

I paired it with a blue-based gray, and it’s lovely!
