Christmas with Pamela Pierce

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have posted some of these photos before, but designer Pamela Pierce is always a favorite, and the Winter 2015 edition of her magazine <a href="https://www.milieu-mag.com/" target="_blank">Milieu</a> features some pictures of her own Houston home decorated for Christmas.

In the Houston home she shares with her husband, Jesse, Pam transforms the rooms with Christmas decorations, figures, white lights, and draping garlands. Although family and friends and neighbors are now used to seeing Pam’s annual Christmas display, she wanted to invite MILIEU readers in to see what she’s done this year . . . </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In her entry foyer, visitors are greeted by a nineteenth-century santo from Mexico standing and gesturing atop an eighteenth-century chest, as if welcoming everyone to the holidays.

Peter Vitale - Los Angeles and Santa Fe

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two years ago, I posted photos of photographer Peter Vitale's Santa Fe home as it appeared in <i>Veranda</i> magazine decorated for Christmas. I just picked up the Winter edition of <i>Milieu</i> magazine and discovered pictures of the Los Angeles apartment Mr. Vitale shares with his partner Harry Greiner, "a noted antiquarian." The apartment now serves as the two men's primary residence. Some of the furnishings - such as the T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings klismos chair - have moved from Santa Fe to Los Angeles. Take a look at the photos of the two homes and see which elements are the same. I will share the Los Angeles photos from <i>Milieu</i> first. Tom Boland provided design assistance with this apartment.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA-U3gsO5Al9hGod2Zhzeg_6L-f7sBzWh8ksFjxJX8frGw7tdOfg0C9kgkwMWgHoIB48R8NCFQsSfpIaR-7gEJp1mj-WkthB9s-NYQMJ_4p0VMWDgmMmJA5Km5Oz0kUd_CPEFVrGNTb68/s1600/MilieuOne.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA-U3gsO5Al9hGod2Zhzeg_6L-f7sBzWh8ksFjxJX8frGw7tdOfg0C9kgkwMWgHoIB48R8NCFQsSfpIaR-7gEJp1mj-WkthB9s-NYQMJ_4p0VMWDgmMmJA5Km5Oz0kUd_CPEFVrGNTb68/s1600/MilieuOne.jpg" width="492" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The bedroom of a West Hollywood apartment is kept serene with a palette of grays and soft neutrals used on linen curtains, a headboard, Ralph Lauren shams, Irving and Morrison throw, and artworks."</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">West Hollywood apartment of antiquarian Harry Greiner and Peter Vitale, photographer and editor-at-large of <i>Milieu</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interiors and photography by Peter Vitale.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Written by Andrew Myers.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Decor Goes Modern" produced by Harry Greiner.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.milieu-mag.com/" target="_blank">Milieu</a> (Winter 2014).</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhLHgKm87NkOuz2iN5k3uZ8S-s-w2NY6PkTOs4PQQAzOfBQJCdadZcKm3MF6vA5Dr-ewblzJp-_rteQ-VG7OYnKKpnWsF6iT2xs92Ctr8R9DTYjy0VSaC5QXXLhw8PNpov6HJ4ezKeecY/s1600/MilieuTwo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhLHgKm87NkOuz2iN5k3uZ8S-s-w2NY6PkTOs4PQQAzOfBQJCdadZcKm3MF6vA5Dr-ewblzJp-_rteQ-VG7OYnKKpnWsF6iT2xs92Ctr8R9DTYjy0VSaC5QXXLhw8PNpov6HJ4ezKeecY/s1600/MilieuTwo.jpg" width="476" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"A trio of decorative squares by artist Jeremy Thomas adorns a living room wall."</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">West Hollywood apartment of antiquarian Harry Greiner and Peter Vitale, photographer and editor-at-large of <i>Milieu</i>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Interiors and photography by Peter Vitale.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Written by Andrew Myers.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Decor Goes Modern" produced by Harry Greiner.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.milieu-mag.com/" target="_blank">Milieu</a> (Winter 2014).</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4i1O9jRnPWdyAEGLyuO2fn7Z2TddFecyHAaCcUi1xtssJJEhcsq1a_UxPPd1UpgdGEEYB0MyP-HD8qcQdfRlGvYlVlqJ5Gco3vUDsdWRRULCP2CamfgcgEhQUS4RfxheP-HHfe3F3IPY/s1600/MilieuThree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4i1O9jRnPWdyAEGLyuO2fn7Z2TddFecyHAaCcUi1xtssJJEhcsq1a_UxPPd1UpgdGEEYB0MyP-HD8qcQdfRlGvYlVlqJ5Gco3vUDsdWRRULCP2CamfgcgEhQUS4RfxheP-HHfe3F3IPY/s1600/MilieuThree.jpg" width="608" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"A trio of decorative squares by artist Jeremy Thomas adorns a living room wall.
