A Fresh and Festive Christmas

To get her home holiday ready, Natasha Lawler used about 100 lemons, 30 rolls of striped ribbon, a plethora of boxwood wreaths, and a massive tree. She told Southern Living, “I had a friend sew a tree skirt to match my sofa [upholstered in Schumacher’s iconic Citrus Garden], and then the lemons just kept spreading throughout the house.”  Lawler is an event planning and public relations specialist whose love for hosting guides her interior design.  Her Charlottesville, Virginia home was built in 1929 and completely untouched when her family purchased it. She wanted to keep it traditional, but bring it into the 21st century. To preserve the home’s charm and integrity, she retained as many of the original details as possible, including the window hardware. Today we will take a look inside with images from Southern Living 2018… and Lacelliese is back with more chic Christmas gift ideas!

Have you finished your holiday shopping? We have compiled a comprehensive Christmas Shopping Guide here… below is a sneak peek!

 

1. If he doesn’t already have about half a dozen Peter Millar quarter-zip sweaters in his closet, this universally flattering, never-not-appropriate layer is a must-have in every color.
2. Pair these crystal tumblers with a little bottle of his favorite scotch, and you have a foolproof present under the tree for under $175, when all is said and done.
3. We are needlepoint devotees and stitchers here at the Glam Pad, but if you haven’t take up your canvas in awhile (or, like some of us, have a pile to be sent to the finisher), never fear: an already-done needlepoint belt will do just fine! We love this one featuring cheeky skiers.
4. He says he’s been extra nice this year (Santa confirms), and it’s time for the timepiece of a lifetime. Alternatively, this Swiss-made, quartz watch clocks in at a mere fraction of the price!
5. A natty leather card case in a royal hue is a great way to contain a gift card or stuff a stocking.
6. For a gift he would never buy for himself, we love this decadent, delicious-smelling shaving cream.
7. How about a suitcase in anticipation of that post-pandemic trip you’ve been planning? He’ll carry this one forever — the more dinged up, the better.
1. Estelle wine glasses were one of the tabletop darlings of 2020, so chances are, she might already have a set… but a cake stand in a perfect pink is a most unexpected way to say that rosier days lie ahead.
2. Pair with a bottle of bubbly, and these highly-coveted Perle coupe champagne glasses will go from tree to table in seconds.
3. The Grandmillennial earrings that we have grown to love at the Glam Pad also make a great gift for gals of any generation.
4. A pair of fabulous heels is a perfect way to kick 2020 goodbye!
5. A Mulberry silk pillowcase…..wait for it….. under $40.
6. She says she’s been extra nice this year (Santa confirms!) and this beautiful bag is well deserved… it’s one she’ll carry for all seasons — winter whites now, summer brights later.
7. After months of mask-wearing, we can’t wait to wear lipstick again, and this pretty tube is a perfect place to start!

    Seeing that beautiful green wet bar followed by the gray kitchen reminds me of the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy steps into full technicolor Munchkin Land from gray Kansas!
