Glen Reed worked roses into each of the public rooms she decorated in the Governor's Mansion. Reed was a professional interior designer before accepting a position as director of events and operations for the mansion.

Roses dominate the tree, mantel and floral arrangements in the formal receiving room.

A leafless tree and the ornaments it holds sits high enough on the dining room table to allow guests to see each other and easily converse during meals.

The unkempt appearance of this wild-haired Santa attracted Reed.

Fourteen Santas whose faces seem to hold great character dot the library and lend an Old World aura to the cozy room.
