Boulder resident and Natural Home magazine editor Robyn Griggs Lawrence contributed ideas and know-how to the presidential holiday decorations pictured above.
Her magazine — along with Mother Earth News, Better Homes and Gardens, Martha Stewart Living, This Old House and Traditional Home — was tapped to decorate rooms in the Blair House, the president’s official guest house, and the State Department. The Denver-based design firm Associates III assisted Natural Home in creating environmentally friendly holiday accents that included natural greenery, handmade, fair-trade items and other decorations made from recycled materials.
“This is an elegant way to showcase what Natural Home has always been about: beauty, simplicity and sustainability,” Lawrence said in a statement about the project. “These classically beautiful rooms are a perfect backdrop for recycled, artisan-made — and even homemade — holiday decor.”
The decorations highlight historic Washington, D.C., rooms that have borne witness to some of the nation’s greatest diplomatic achievements. To read more about the presidential decorating project, visit the Natural Home Living blog, written by Griggs Lawrence, at .
