Here is Christmas decorating, history,
architecture, and interior design wrapped in one sparkling package.
More than 300 gorgeous images provide a leisurely look
at historic house interiors magically decorated for Christmas. Begin
with the foreword by Christopher Radko, famed re-creator of vintage
Christmas ornaments. Tour historic holiday homes from Filoli to Colonial
Williamsburg and look inside San Antonio’s most beautiful housethe
Spanish Governor’s Palace. Nearby in Midland, Texas, is the ranch-style childhood home of the Bushestwo future US presidents, a
first lady, and two state governors. There is something for everyone,
from the modest dwelling of Canadian WW I flying ace Billy Bishop, to
the “castle” of Edsel Ford of Ford Motors fame, and decorating styles
from contemporary to period correct.By Patricia Hart McMillanPatricia Hart McMillan, author of 15 books on interior design and architecture, is a partner at Strahan + McMillan Architecture and Interior Design, San Antonio, Texas.
