Drumthwacket Christmas - 2022
 
 

The Allentown Garden Club has decorated Drumthwacket's stately dining room with a colorful and fanciful bird theme to symbolize and celebrate New Jersey's pride, beauty, dignity and diversity this holiday season.

Overall, the decor is simple, classical elegance, inspired by the original colors and strong architectural elements of the room. The color palette includes opal, white, crystal, pearl, sage, gold with hints of teal and navy that complement the exquisite wallpaper and oriental carpet. Feathers, candles and garden elements mixed with traditional decorations of holiday greens, pinecones and a Christmas tree, create a lively and festive environment.

The grand and stately table has been set with Drumthwacket's formal dinnerware and historic silver collection for an enjoyable holiday meal hosted by Tammy Murphy, First Lady of New Jersey. The distinguished guest list for this holiday dinner party includes past and present residents of the state, who, through their talents, actions and diverse contributions, are a celebrated source of New Jersey pride. If you were invited to join our 'fantasy' dinner party at Drumthwacket, who would you sit next to, and more importantly, what would you discuss?

Some highlights of the room were:
--The amazing peacock tails draping off the two mantels
--The stunning centerpiece created by member Alison Mains
--Assorted ornament creations and terrariums/birdhouses
--Names of ten women with their contributions to NJ highlighted at
each place setting, plus a place 'for you' to have a seat at the table.
--A framed photo of the St. Peter's Men's Basketball Team 'The Peacocks' during their recent visit to Drumthwacket
And so much more!
