It’s Looking a Little Like Christmas
Holiday feeling fills the halls of Lantern Court as designers create their masterpiece

“... Diana Hudson, who took on the little girl's French bedroom upstairs, has sugarplum trees and other elements in her room. ‘I wanted to use plenty of ideas people could adapt to their own homes,’ she said.

The room’s twin beds, which are upholstered in a French-style flower-and-strip pattern, were purchased in 1928 by the Cornings from the Halle Brothers store in Cleveland.

Hudson has hung pairs of ice skates over the rail at the fool of each bed – a reminder of the days the five Corning children would skate on the pond out front.

Pine roping frames the mirror, elves post a lookout, and tiny ornaments with the word, ‘Believe’ cover the tree.

‘Holidays are the time to make memories with your children,’ she says. Her favorite is a melted snowman, using sugar and a pretty glass that even the youngest child can help make.”
