Orangerie Garden & Home

Nestled next to Creel and Gow, Orangerie is a light-filled structure, half-indoors, half out-doors, that is very, very green. Trees, plants. Bushes, topiaries, flowers, it is a garden center, but it also has a large selection of home décor goods ranging from $15 to over $500. The pieces are carefully chosen, and mostly unique, not pieces you’ll find just anywhere.

Owner Anthony Bellomo selected several items for the upcoming holidays, to decorate one’s home or to give as gifts. He opened Orangerie in April of 2021 and has become an expert in knowing what his customers want. Some of those he chose that are his particular favorites are listed below.

 

Topiaries $35-$125

For those who like giving live plants, topiaries are good choices. Aside from being decorative, some, such as a Rosemary topiary, can also be used to spice up food creations. Bellomo likes the idea of giving live plants; they thrive throughout the winter. 

 

Tulipieres $525

Unique, beautiful, Bellomo also chose these flower holders, called Tulipieres as favorites. They are not inexpensive, but they are unique! They can be separated, and each reservoir holds its own water. Always fresh in green and white, the look may seem Asian, but a closer gander shows the motif to be Dutch.

 

Christopher Spitzmiller Cups $95

“These bowls are hand crafted by Christopher Spitzmiller,” said Bellomo of the cups and bowl made by Bellomo’s husband, who is local to Millbrook. 

 

Glasses $16, Pitcher $36

Green again, because it goes so well with Christmas and blends in with any garden space, these uniquely shaped glasses are a find, to keep or to give as a gift. They are made in Morocco.

Brushes, Small $10, Medium $15, Large $20

“These brushes are great to give as gifts to people who love to garden,” says Bellomo. “Gardeners always have dirt under their fingernails. These are great for getting all the dirt out.”

 

Hurricane $300

Made in India, the hurricane lamps would make an elaborate gift but, says Bellomo, “It gets dark early in December. These lamps would be perfect for giving off just enough light.” They’d be lovely on a holiday table as well, maybe surrounded with greens and berries.

 

Beeswax Candle Pair $38

“Candles are always a good gift to give a hostess,” said Bellomo. He likes these candles, in different colors and different styles, some designed to look like twigs.

 

Bowls, Small $10, Medium $15, Large $20

The bowls featured her are manufactured, not hand made, but are very fetching for holding various foods, and come in different sizes. 

 

Bellomo expects to have Christmas merchandise in before too long; they’ll have swags, wreaths, and this year Christmas trees as well. You can also expect some beautiful and unique Christmas ornaments and decorations, as well as finding Christmas and holiday gifts you’ll be proud to give.
