As we approach Thanksgiving, I wanted to take a moment to send you my warmest wishes. This season is a wonderful reminder to pause, reflect, and appreciate the people and moments that make our lives meaningful.
And, with the holiday season now upon us, here are a few fresh, unexpected suggestions on ways to refresh your home’s holiday décor:

- Use Lighting in an Unexpected Way
Change up your lighting. Try lining a hallway with lanterns, clustering candles in oversized hurricanes, or tucking soft LED strips behind a console. It gives your home that warm holiday glow without adding a single ornament. Or, as in this gracious home, a glass chandelier outdoors could be the perfect touch.
- Introduce a Global Textile Moment
Instead of sticking to the usual red-and-green, try layering in textiles from your travels—or the ones you wish you’d taken. A kilim runner on the table or a colorful Suzani over the sofa adds instant warmth and personality. It feels festive, but in a way that’s totally your own.
- Style a Sculptural Greenery Installation
Skip the standard wreath this year and play with greenery in a more creative way. Think branches, magnolia leaves, eucalyptus—arranged on a wall or even hanging from the ceiling. It becomes this beautiful, unexpected little installation that feels fresh and natural.
Wishing you a happy, peaceful, and memorable Thanksgiving!
