A sweet dream of spring violets: bouquets and wreaths in lilac and purple hues. . . 🪻💜

For the Library, the coziest room , I envisioned “A Home for the Holidays” theme — carried out in a traditional decor scheme with trees, wreaths and a lush mantel garland, all in rich shades of amber, ocher, moss and copper with gold. The branches of winter fruits add whimsy and movement to the trees, while citrus wreaths in the windows and a fruit “boule” on the table evoke a sense of nostalgia and beloved traditions. 🌲🍊🍋‍🟩photo: 📸 tablesetting: 🍽️
