Birmingham-based designer Carolina Gidiere joins us today with a peek inside her Mountain Brook, Alabama home, decked for the holidays! Caroline is a former “Christmas with the Tastemakers” participant, where each year we share gift guides and home tours from some of the nation’s leading designers and tastemakers. She has been named one of Veranda’s “2021 Next Legends” and finalist in ADAC’s Southeast Designer of the Year 2020.
We adore Caroline’s fresh take on traditional decor, and the same can be seen in her holiday decor. Caroline adores incorporating elements from nature such as magnolia leaves, paperwhites, oranges, fresh evergreens and Christmas trees. The result is classic, timeless, elegance that is both festive and chic. Let’s take a look!



We love Caroline’s simple tips for planting Paperwhites, below… You can find more of our favorite Tastemakers’ Paperwhite tips here!

Oh my goodness! So beautiful! But I have to know where her English Cream Dachshunds are from? My little girl Winnie looks just like her pups!
