Charleston Welcomes Art of the Entry: Your Go-To for Holiday Decor
Charleston, the charming city known for its beautiful homes and cozy community spirit, is buzzing with excitement this holiday season. Just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities, Art of the Entry is popping up around town, bringing a delightful range of exterior and entryway decor that really makes your home sparkle during the holidays.
If you haven’t heard of Art of the Entry yet, you’re in for a treat! Founded earlier this year by a talented designer and entrepreneur, this new venture is all about creating a warm and inviting atmosphere right from your doorstep. Picture this: hand-woven doormats that welcome guests with style, vibrant seasonal wreaths to adorn your door, unique brass door knockers that add a touch of elegance, and chic metal planters to bring life to your entryway.

If you love holiday markets, jot down December 6 and 7 on your calendar for the Southern Living Illumination Holiday Market. And don’t forget to swing by The Charleston Place during the SEWE event in February for more fabulous finds!
Decking the Halls for Thanksgiving
As we dive into the holiday spirit, this designer is busy preparing her own home for Thanksgiving. Her approach? Start with a gorgeous handwoven, braided jute doormat featuring a twisted green and white border as the foundation for her festive look. Adding a seasonal wreath from her fall collection brings a fresh touch, beautifully finished off with a marigold yellow velvet bow.
But the magic doesn’t stop there! This creative mind plans to stop by Abide-A-While to pick up a selection of winter plants to place in her scalloped planters flanking the front door. She emphasizes the importance of tiny details, asserting that’s what truly makes an impact.
Thoughtful Gifts that Reflect Nature’s Beauty
Looking for the perfect hostess gift? She recommends a flowering plant in a reusable pot, which not only gives a lovely gesture but also allows the recipient to bring a piece of nature into their home. For an extra special touch, she suggests asking an artist to hand-paint the pot, making it a meaningful keepsake.
Signature Style for the Season
When it comes to fashion, her signature look keeps things classic yet chic. A fitted shirtdress paired with subtle jewelry is her go-to. In the cooler months, you’ll likely spot her rocking jeans with a cozy knit cardigan and stylish flats. It’s all about comfort while still looking good—especially when chasing around her energetic four-year-old!
Holiday Wishlist: A Bling for Your Buck!
As for what she has her eyes on this season, she jokingly admits she’s wishing for an angel investor. But if that doesn’t come through, any jewelry from the talented Jane Pope would do just fine. She’s particularly fond of Pope’s textured 14K-gold “Cigar Band,” which looks fabulous when stacked with other rings.
Looking Ahead
Looking into the future, the founder of Art of the Entry is collaborating with Fanm Mon for a collection of dresses ideal for outdoor entertaining, set to launch in spring 2025! This collaboration promises to blend the beauty of outdoor living with stylish apparel.
The holidays are swiftly approaching, so whether you’re decorating your home or searching for the perfect gift, remember that Art of the Entry has something delightful for everyone. Embrace the spirit of the season and let your home shine!
