Michelle Nussbaumer's Winter Wonderland

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Michelle Nussbaumer is an interior designer and antiques buyer based in Dallas, Texas. Her background as a theater set designer is evident in the magical space she created for a Christmas party in her store, Ceylon et Cie. The inspiration for the blue and white "wonderland" was a set of twelve-foot-high wallpaper panels that feature handpainted icebergs in the Antarctic sea. They were created by the French firm Zuber in the nineteenth century. Plaster statues and a Chinese root table that was painted white add to the ethereal feel. Nussbaumer used the unique items in her store to set the stage for her event. She suggested to <i>Veranda</i> readers that they select a "theme and a limited color scheme" - such as blue and white - to "make a statement" when entertaining. The work of Margaret Gragg literally provided the icing on the cake. Her magical confections featured rock candy and snow made of sugar. Although Nussbaumer's party was a celebration of Christmas, the colors and Antarctic theme would suit a New Year's Eve gala or any elegant winter event. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckuhRt6vi0GBWBKC5UOA8jo59HQOT-XgFdnCxUgOc9qYymv0Etxi92Yig3f20YDoCtYvhgwxoUCOeocYn8z2fH0eFjyZz1kkO9h24DGhPU8uQ4oo1T7Zv6empA_Bieg5aFWuWj9gqb1sF/s1600/BlogMichelle+NussBaumerWinterWonderland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhckuhRt6vi0GBWBKC5UOA8jo59HQOT-XgFdnCxUgOc9qYymv0Etxi92Yig3f20YDoCtYvhgwxoUCOeocYn8z2fH0eFjyZz1kkO9h24DGhPU8uQ4oo1T7Zv6empA_Bieg5aFWuWj9gqb1sF/s640/BlogMichelle+NussBaumerWinterWonderland.jpg" width="564" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Designer Michelle Nussbaumer invents  a dreamy dessert party in <a href="http://www.ceylonetcie.com/">Ceylon et Cie</a>, her Dallas [Texas] shop.
