THE KANAKLA ROOM
A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS
The holidays hold a special place in the heart of Annaliesse Kelly, principal at AK Design. Step into the enchanting realm of her childhood Christmas, where the timeless elegance of a Classic English Yuletide seamlessly merges with the heartwarming charm of a 'Charlie Brown Christmas.' This unique fusion creates a magical space that reminisces and celebrates the cherished memories of family and friends gathering.
Every corner exudes celebratory warmth, showcasing thoughtfully curated furniture from Once A Tree and Antique Warehouse. A grand custom solid wood dining table is dressed with festive floral arrangements by Cadine, complimented by vintage-inspired armchairs and a baby blue velvet sofa that invite you to relax while basking in the warmth of the season.

Immerse yourself in the magic of classic holiday storybooks and whimsical décor from Details By Mr. K and Indigo. Antique mirrors, clocks, and games add a touch of wonder and delight. A scrawny evergreen, adorned with handmade decorations and cherished ornaments, stands as the centrepiece, reminiscent of Charlie Brown's beloved tree.
The colour palette blends rich, warm tones with nostalgic pastels. Deep reds, forest greens, and hints of gold create a regal backdrop, while soft blues and gentle pinks infuse the room with whimsy.
Annaliesse's childhood Christmas is a nostalgic celebration, bridging tradition and imagination. Relive the wonder of the holidays, cherishing the abiding values of family, friendship, and the joy of giving.
