03 Dec 2023 Tour de Trees: Merry and Bright

By Stefanie Brazile

A stunning traditional red-and-gold Christmas tree graces the dining room at the home of Drs. Troy and Shannon Ardoin in Little Rock.

From the moment you approach their home, you are transported into a festive environment. Interior designer Christina Gore suspends the garland framing the front entranceway from the ceiling to prevent any damage to the exterior of the home. To create the masterpiece, more than 70 ornaments and 12 rolls of ribbon are used! 

The gorgeous dining room tree was added this year. Glass ornaments, beglittered magnolia leaves, draped berry garlands and jeweled velour ribbons create the perfect backdrop to the Ardoins’ Christmas dinner. It makes for a beautiful transition from the exterior doorway to your first look inside the home. The stair garland and dining tablescapes also coordinate.
