Mark and Mikal Eckstrom, designers | Maison MxM Our objective was to frame the fireplace wall with foliage. We purchased pre-made fresh pine garland and layered in boughs of magnolia, bays, olive, and eucalyptus for a heavier foliage effect. We then added dried orange slices, baby’s breath, white poms, red berries, and grosgrain ribbon in both Caribbean blue and russet red. The ribbons repeat the lucite swags on our vintage Grosfeld House mirror and tie the colors of our soft furnishings into the display. The mantle has contemporary reeded and chrome “trees” that feel like a trio of obelisks for a fun, modern mix. The entire tableaux makes for a cozy spot to pull up a chair with a craft cocktail that readies us to capture the holiday spirit!
