SMALL SCALE
for party guests or gatherings at home. Steering away from the typical palette that emphasizes “holiday,” the Czyzewski’s crisp smattering of metallics and natural woods, berries and greenery creates an idyllic wintry wonderland that is both modern and down-home. “We’ve added some things from year to year,” Robin explains, “but the homeowners love natural and kind of glittery. Everything is nature-inspired.” Beyond the kitchen, office and dining room, Robin placed special emphasis on the hearth, guaranteeing that all eyes would be drawn to a dazzling focal point. “I love putting the fireplaces together. Everyone spends time in front of them during the holidays.” And with such a delightfully visual space, it would be hard to tear anyone away. If, like many homeowners, you find the trappings of decorating too daunting during one of the busiest times of the year, it may be worth considering bringing in professionals. The Jeweled Cottage, specifically, provides additional decorating on a referral basis, while other interior decorators and firms across the St. Louis area have a variety of services catered to making sure there is indeed no place like home for holidays.
