It seems like only yesterday we were thinking about decorating a summer beach house---and now the holiday season is rushing toward us, with all its color and light. In this issue of Designer Monthly, we’ll help you get a jump on your planning for the season, starting with a very modern living room decorated for Christmas in our Room of the Month. We go on to give you some very practical tips on planning parties for kids and for adults, and staying “green” for the holidays. Our Little Things column tells you everything you need to know about lighting with candles, and we wrap up with a look at the very autumny shade of pumpkin orange. We hope this issue of Designer Monthly gets you feeling merry and bright!
