Harbor Homestead Decorates The Vanderbilt for Christmas!

This year we are decorating three rooms at the beautiful seaside home of William K Vanderbilt. His bedroom with its reproduction of Napoleons furniture overlooks Long Island Sound. We took our inspiration from the gold in his furniture and gave a nod to the peacocks he once kept on his estate.
Our second room is on the Northport  Porch which not only over looks the sound but a beautiful reflecting pool that we have floated silver and blue orbs upon.This room has been decorated to recreate the famed New York night club haunt of the Vanderbilt's, El Morocco. With eight foot white Art Deco palms and a table set just for the Vanderbilt's . This year Coco Channel will be visiting William and Rosamund Vanderbilt. There are holiday dinners you may make reservations for thru the Vanderbilt main number 631 854 5580.
 Our third room is the Lancaster room. With its beautiful chocolate marble fireplace and the family coat of arms from which we took our color choices.We have decorated the tree with Tiffany boxes ,chocolate , aqua and copper bulbs....Mrs. Vanderbilt loved Tiffany's!
So stop by and visit this gem in our backyard. You will be inspired and it will certainly put you in the Christmas spirit!
