Turn your fireplace into an eye-catching focal point in the room with seasonal flourishes. SLHL asked three local design shops to put their spin on mantel décor in a beautiful custom-designed home in Creve Couer by SR Homes. With only 30 minutes to dress up the space, the results are astounding. Ribbons, bows, garland and ornaments transform the mantel from everyday to Santa’s workshop.

Get your day started in style with a walk-in wardrobe. Dressing rooms are all the fashion in today’s modern homes. With a place for everything and everything in its place, a dressing room will keep you organized. Check out these swoon-worthy spaces.

The addition of a farm table in your dining room, kitchen or office adds a beautiful mix of old and new. Typical American farm tables have planks that run from end to end with straight legs. Often made from reclaimed wood, the stunning slabs are meant to last.
