Gold tulle is intertwined and draped throughout the balustrades with a flurry of feathers. Below, against the backdrop of the white and brown kitchen, simple high vases are filled with mixed metallic ribbons, fruit, and pine cones and then finished as planters using lush and lifelike greens.

She pulls this together by draping gold tulle throughout and adds some ostrich feathers. For an extra touch, she embellishes the newel post with a colorful flutter of tiny metallic balls, along with red and green feathers, and finishes it with tulle. In the family room decorations, Diana incorporates the color tones in the room with the decorates on the mantel and the tree. “I use mixes of metals, finishes and layers, with a variety of materials to decorate this space,” she describes.

As she began to take on holiday decorating, that expanded to her doing special occasion decorating, like bridal showers, birthdays and other holiday settings. Diana has developed a signature approach to her designing that is unique and soothing. “My goal when I work with clients is to help them bring together their vision,” she adds. For those do-it-yourselfers, Diana offers a few simple tips to accomplish this style of holiday decorating. Most importantly, she feels that home decorating does not have to cost an excessive amount. “Use things that are not expensive, but when you put them together it makes a big impact,” she advises.
