THE PORTE COCHÈRE
The holidays hold a special place in the heart of Lucila Díaz, principal at Harmony Sense Interiors. Her design for the mansion's Porte Cochère is inspired by her love of nature and the enchanting world of children's storybooks, weaving together the timeless magic of The Nutcracker with all the wonders of the season.
​
Your journey begins at the foot of the stairs leading up to the front porch, where a crisp pine forest of snow-dusted trees and delicate handmade snowflakes set the scene, inviting guests to step into a wintry fairy tale. This delightful path then reveals a grand entrance evoking the Kingdom of Sweets—guarded by towering candy cane columns and brimming with festive charm.
​
At the top of the porch, a merry holiday table awaits, beautifully dressed with blooms from Cadine and tabletop finery from Details from Mr. K and Pedersen's Event Rentals to inspire gatherings that celebrate tradition, colour, and togetherness. The scene blends nostalgic whimsy with refined seasonal accents, reflecting Lucila's passion for creating spaces where stories come alive.
