A Merry Little Kristmas
Transforming your space into your holiday wonderland
Kristin Ilgunas
My love for Christmas began long before A Merry Little Kristmas became official. As a little girl, I used to tell people my name was Kristmas, a sweet hint of the joy, beauty, and wonder this season has always held for me.
For more than 20 years, I have been transforming homes for the holidays, creating elevated, thoughtfully designed spaces that feel warm, magical, and unforgettable. What began as a family tradition has grown into a true creative calling—one rooted in detail, atmosphere, and the belief that a beautifully styled home can completely change the way a season feels.
​
My approach goes beyond decorating a tree or placing garland on a mantel. I design with the entire home in mind, curating color, texture, scale, and placement so each space feels cohesive, refined, and personal. From grand entrances and statement trees to intimate family spaces and seasonal tablescapes, every detail is selected to complement your home and reflect the feeling you want to create.
​
As a mother and longtime host of our family’s holiday gatherings, I understand that the most memorable homes are not only beautiful, but meaningful. I bring that same care to every client, blending artistry, cohesive storytelling, and a deep love for seasonal design to create an experience that feels effortless, elegant, and uniquely yours.

A Merry Little Kristmas was created to bring that sense of wonder into your home with sophistication and heart, transforming your space into a holiday retreat filled with warmth, beauty, and lasting memories.
