The Sparkling Season: Holiday Color Makeover

A Missouri couple swaps their traditional red and green holiday palette for one that’s calm, cool and oh-so-sophisticated.

The color change stuck. For the past five years, Lynn has dressed her pine tree from top to bottom with shimmering mercury glass and gold ornaments, burlap ribbons and more than 50 pheasant tail feathers that have special meaning. “My son and my husband are hunters,” Lynn says. “They’ve collected all the feathers for me. I love the texture and the color of them.”

Nature gets a starring role throughout the house. Paperwhites bloom on a fireplace mantel, pine garlands wind around doorways and banisters, antique avian plates sit on the table and seeded eucalyptus wreaths—a favorite of Lynn’s—hang from ribbons on the insides of the windows.
