A few months ago, Jan (a client and dear friend of mine) started chatting with me about a dinner party she wanted to have for her daughter, Paige, before her winter ball at Bishop Ireton High School. Heather and I were so excited to go and see everything she had collected, so we figured out a time to meet at her house near Old Town Alexandria last month. We gathered the vessels that she wanted to use (she had such great stuff!) and later she brought them to the studio.

We just love the mercury glass and the white milk glass. Jan had been gathering lots of great decor items to add around the house, so we took a look at them and decided what would look best to complete the look for the winter theme!

Melanie and I worked on what white flowers would go well with her theme minus fragrance as she is allergic to some flowers. The mantle was adorned with a classic mix of hydrangeas and white roses. And the dining room table was graced with a collection down the middle of hydrangeas with maidenhair fern in the milk glass and the shorts of roses and miniature calla lilies. Her cocktail table in the living room had a perfect little julep of a single rose next to a mercury glass pedestal dish filled with white tulips. We couldn’t have been happier to help out with her last decor touches to add to the ambiance she was creating for her daughter. She has such great style and her home is truly something out of a magazine. Jan, we love your look!
