This bright series uses festive design to inspire holiday cheer, and it definitely works. From decorating a firehouse for the community to enjoy, to making sure that a space balances Christmas and Hanukkah, Bradley and his team use their design chops, creativity, and spirit to create spaces that encourage celebration.

There's lots of tinsel, lights, and peppermint, but Bradley emphasizes that his designs are created to help make the time and space for people to come together and enjoy those special moments. If you like holiday crafting and decorating, Holiday Home Makeover With Mr. Christmas will be sure to get you revved up for the winter holidays.
