Christmas with Mary McDonald

Mary McDonald's Country English style Beverly Hills home was decorated for Christmas and featured in Veranda. Each Christmas she changes her decorations and this was her winter wonderland infused with Gilded Age glamour. She collects items and inspirations from her worldy travels, in which this year was from a trip to India in which she collected peacock feathers.

Peacock feathers, fans and faux birds from India, pinecones, velvet ribbon, and dried/real and faux fruits embellish this holiday greenery and entranceway.

  5. How incredible is this??? A peacock as a tree topper - now that's original. I have always loved peacock feathers for their exotic appeal but she takes it to a whole new level! Fun - and beautiful - post!
