Historic Stetson Mansion, A Must See for Holiday Decor Ideas

In this episode of The Design Tourist, host Karen LeBlanc travels to Deland, Florida for a tour of the historic Stetson Mansion, elaborately decorated for the holidays. Every year, owners Michael Solari and J.T. Thompson invite the public inside for a visual extravaganza of Christmas decor that J.T. single-handedly designs and creates to celebrate the season. Learn the fascinating history of Florida’s first luxury mansion built in the Gilded Age by the founder of the iconic Stetson Hat Company, John B. Stetson as his winter home. Next year, Stetson Mansion is calling on HGTV to stage a Designers’ Challenge bringing in high-end designers to adorn each room in a friendly holiday competition.
