One of the Christmas spreads that I drool over each year is the Charleston home of architects
Mark and Melissa Maresca. It was featured several years ago in Southern Accents and it still boasts beautiful, timeless interiors. Mark and Melissa stand in front of their parterre garden filled with potted poinsettias.
Simple greenery and early 19th-century carved urns grace the dinning room of the 1790 single house on South Battery.
A crackling fire, lush swags of magnolia leaves, a dark rich ceiling and modern lighting add warmth to the kitchen.
Beautiful charcoal-brown walls are the perfect backdrop for a 19th-century French mirror decorated in simple greenery.
