Christmas at the
Meeks House

An old Detroit house, dressed for the season.

A Christmas tour of our 1919 Detroit home, one room at a time. Begin in the living room, linger in the library, and come back as the house fills with the season.

Living Room

Christmas begins in the living room: warm tree lights, navy curtains and a mantel layered with evergreens and tartan.

The room’s familiar furniture stays at the center of things. A tree by the fireplace, brass candlesticks and smaller tabletop details bring the season into the spaces we live in every day.

Library

In the library, deep-green millwork, mustard curtains and leather chairs make a natural setting for Christmas. Tartan cushions and warm lights add another layer.

Look through the bookcases into the living room, then linger over the details: evergreens on the marble table, a festive bar corner, and tree ornaments with plenty of personality. Even the yellow ram joins in.
