Holiday Decorating
INSPIRED BY NATURE WITH BROOKE GIANNETTI, PATINA HOME & GARDEN
A
s newcomers to Williamson County, my husband Steve and I have truly appreciated the genuine southern hospitality we’ve experienced. Our new neighbors have been welcoming and kind, and we felt right at home as soon as we arrived. One of the areas we’re most passionate about is helping other people feel at home, too. Home is a place to feel at ease, comfortable and, especially during the holidays, joyful. That’s why we recently opened our new store — Patina Home & Garden. We want to honor the history of the store and create a gathering place, while also helping people bring more natural beauty into their homes with antiques, furniture, gifts, home goods and natural botanical skincare products. As an interior designer, I’m often asked how I like to decorate my home for the holidays. So much of my inspiration for design and life comes from nature so I love incorporating it into any decor, whether it’s for my home or our store. I’m in constant awe of the beauty that surrounds us daily, so it’s a perfect place to begin decorating. And you can often find the materials right outside your front door.
BRINGING THE OUTSIDE IN
Steve and I love to blur the lines between inside and out in our architectural and interior designs, so it’s no surprise that we do so in our holiday decor. I often bring in colors, materials and plants from our farmyard to create wreaths, swags, garlands, tablescapes or mantle decor. One of my new favorites is this bulb vase that exposes the roots and brings a bright pop of green inside.
