Holiday Decorating Ideas from the Atlanta Holiday House

Last week I hit the Atlanta Holiday House over in Buckhead. The place is bananas - it is a 22,000 square foot, $14,000,000 spec faux chateau, and it was all dressed up for the Christmas holiday by many sought-after Atlanta designers. The decorations were the finishing touch upon $2,500,000 worth of furnishings.

The designers at the holiday house had many innovative holiday decorating ideas. I especially liked all of the different versions of Christmas trees, whether it was bare branches from a hardwood tree or a dress form in the laundry room (oh, I stopped counting laundry rooms at the fourth one - can you imagine?).

I'll share some more of the interior design of the holiday house in another ideabook, but for now, I'll just show you how it's done here in the South. We don't do anything halfway, well except picture taking - I was running late and forgot my camera, so these shots are from my phone. Sorry for the lackluster quality.

I should also mention that all of the proceeds from Holiday House go to The Save a Smile Foundation.
