We're playing with a classic Valentines Day color palette this week but next week we'll switch it up with some not-so traditional expressions of love...so stay tuned

Twilight Christmas Tours at the Vanderbilt Mansion

Every Holiday season, we volunteer to decorate a room or two at Centerport's beautiful Vanderbilt Mansion.  We love creating in a place of such history and splendor right here in our own backyard.  This year we chose Rosamond Vanderbilt's dressing room and created an appropriate decoration for such a space...

Our Christmas Dress built upon Mrs. Vanderbilt's dress form for the Vanderbilt Museum Twilight Christmas Tour.

Constructed of chicken wire,  greenery, pine cones, crystals and Christmas ornaments.  A blue velvet mannequin cover was created to match the colors in Mrs. V's dressing room.

The fireplace in the Mrs. Vanderbilt's dressing room was topped with a simple green garland and draped in crystals to compliment the chandeliers in the room and on the necklace on the Christmas Dress.
