TRANSFORMING ESTATES INTO SEASONAL MASTERPIECES: Large grapevine balls are suspended above the doorway of an Eastover home, adorned with draped holly berries and greenery. The effect feels more like a striking art installation than a front door, but thatâs the magic of Jay Lugibihlâs so-called âholiday doors.â @inbloomltd
Each season, the owner of In Bloom LTD frames roughly 55 doors with a custom blend of greenery, flowers, ribbon and various decorations. His holiday decorating has become so popular that heâs often booked for the season by Halloween each year.
Lugibihl had been decorating clientsâ homes for the holidays for more than 20 years. Decorating front doors was often part of his work, but they didnât bloom into the lavish displays they are today until 2020.
âWhen COVID hit, and I approached my clients to ask if they were interested in decorating that year, everyone said, âAbsolutely yes,â because they wanted anything to brighten their day,â Lugibihl says. âThat was the year I began to think a little outside the box.â
