Today we are peeking inside the home of Jillian Eversole and the home of her mother, as we continue touring the abodes of our 2024 Holiday Tastemakers. It is fun to see that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree! Both mother and daughter share a love of classic, timeless style, warm and inviting holiday decorations, and a passion for family traditions.
Jillians runs a Charleston-based blog focused on motherhood, celebration of family life, shopping discoveries, love notes to Charleston, and the joy of pursuing the good life. So we were thrilled this year to have her share her holiday shopping tips along with a look inside her home where she lives with her husband, Edwin, their sons, Rowan and Henry, and two dogs, Maybelle and Hopper.
Let’s start with a visit to the beautiful and timeless home of Jillian’s mother…
Jillian and her mother love collecting the annual Reed & Barton and Wallace silver ornaments each year. They are such a meaningful and elegant way to decorate the tree!
My family collects Wallace silver snowflakes, which we display each year on our dining room chandelier. Silver ornaments are truly spectacular when displayed en masse!
Another lovely family tradition is to collect the annual Halcyon Days enamel Christmas boxes. They are so beautiful and memorable when displayed on an exquisite silver platter!
Christmas Tree dishes by Spode make a lovely holiday tradition. Loved for its nostalgia and warm recollections of Christmases past, Christmas Tree is one of the world’s best known holiday designs since its introduction in 1938.
We adore Emma Bridgwater pottery and this wonderful idea to have a personalized mug for each family member!
Such a delightful collection of treasured Christmas books, including some vintage and antique editions.
Now let’s take a look inside Jillian’s Home!
Jillian also shares The Glam Pad’s passion for needlepoint… We couldn’t help but admire and inquire about her beautiful needlepoint stockings!
“My marvelous stocking was done by my grandmother. I am fortunate enough to have two beautiful needlepoint stockings, one done by each of my two talented grandmothers. One of mine lives at my house and one of mine lives at my parents’ house,” she explained. “My husband’s and my boys’ stockings were done by my husband’s aunt. She is a prolific needlepointer as well and has given us the most beautiful gift with these stockings! I am working on Christmas stockings I had custom designed for my boys but I am not done with a single one of them. Maybe by next year!”
Jillian loves decorating with dried oranges, and she shares her recipe for homemade holiday potpourri here!
Handmade wooden musical angels from Germany are another favorite #verytgp collectable.
Such beautiful homes, families, and family traditions! Thank you, Jillian, for sharing with us today!
