Making Merry

Whatever you may be celebrating this December, we raise our glass to you! Traditionally, now is a time to observe Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa. Let us embrace them all. It is also during this time that New Orleans Homes & Lifestyles revels in the rich aesthetics of the season.

In honor of the festive beauty of the holidays, we offer four bewitching centerpieces — from lush to modern — each with a nontraditional twist that will embellish any tabletop.
