Turns out, the well-appointed kitchen remains the heart and hub of the home- a central gathering place serving a multitude of purposes.

Decoristas love to eat, drink, and be merry in stylish spaces. Great style, design and decor knows no season, and is on full and festive display at the holidays.
Entertaining.
Party going.
Party giving.
Open houses and parade of homes.
Furnish, decorate, and accent to impress.
Back in our flipping days, maison de Places In The Home was that place to holiday eat, drink, and be merry. Realtors, designers, and home building trade folk love to get together for holiday cocktails with a twist of spirited networking.
Every single space, nook and cranny in the entire house was cleaned, styled, and set to holiday dazzle. At the end of the evening, and with no complaints on my end, the majority of the house basically remained pre-party perfect.
Notice I say the majority of the house.
Based on the state of the kitchen, it was the happening holiday party place to be.

Over the course of our holiday cocktail party detail, one proven party phenomenon holds true. People love to mix and mingle in the kitchen.
Gone are the days when the kitchen was merely a small space in the back of the house for strictly utilitarian purposes. Impressive kitchen furnishings, decor pieces, and accents decidedly factor into today’s kitchen design as much as cabinetry, appliance, lighting, flooring, and placement choices do.
For the decorista devoted, decorating for the holidays reaches far beyond tinsel and trimmings. What better time than at the gift giving time of year to add impressive kitchen furnishings, decor pieces, and accents on your gifts for the holiday decorista Christmas list.

Many kitchens are combination spaces with a dining area or parlor adjacent to the main kitchen. The last time my parents updated, my father suggested turning the small formal dining room adjacent to the kitchen into a parlor. We used the parlor more than we ever used the formal dining room.
The space was intimate, cozy, and very inviting. I’m reminded of it by the image below with its soft palette, French and Spanish Colonial influence, and exposed beams.
Very Louisiana.
