There's A Party Going On Across From Bloomies

Designer Richard Keith Langham hosts a holiday dinner.

Location: NYC across from Bloomies.

" It is adorned in foil icicles, lights and balls — from the inside out and the top down — a job that requires scaffolding and a cherry picker. Allowing the twenty-foot tree to dominate the space, 

Langham simplifies his festive formula for the rest of the interior: loads of fresh balsam, fir and pine, and everything else drenched in red.

I am definitely up for a Christmas Party.

Especially If I could just drop in after shopping at Bloomies.

"The thrust of the whole room is its verticality," he says. About a decade ago, Langham fell in love at first sight with the space, a freestanding former savings-and-loan institution across the street from Bloomingdale's."

The soaring space is uniquely suited to elegant Christmas partying, and 

drop-by guests are always welcome. 

With native Southern charm and a nod to his stint at the University of Alabama, 

Langham sums up his delight in the season: "Let the yuletide roll."

His design tip:

"Anytime you have lots of people in, 

it is important 

to have decorations up above everybody's heads. 

As the room fills up, anything at eye level is lost."

He says that his ornaments are all dime store ornaments.

But he has thousands, and the tree takes 5 days to decorate.

Would you have a tree this big if your space would allow it ?

I say " hell no."

But I would if I had a staff to do the work....

I mean what could be prettier than a huge Christmas Tree?
