Setting the Holiday Table with Timeless Elegance
The holidays are a time for gathering, celebrating, and creating memories around the table, and at Peach Grove House, owners Keith and Lorena have elevated this tradition to an art form. Both Keith and Lorena appreciate traditions and have been building their collections over the years. Their Spode Christmas Collection takes center stage in their dining room, transforming holiday meals into luxurious, unforgettable experiences.
Lorena’s eye for design and her deep appreciation for tradition shine through in every detail. All dining room furnishings and decor carry their own history, blending seamlessly with the house’s 19th-century charm. The classic Spode Christmas Collection, with its delicate green and red accents, complements the warm glow of candlelight and the seasonal greenery that adorns the table.“For us, setting the table with our Spode china is about more than just creating a beautiful setting—it’s about honoring tradition and sharing the joy of the season with our guests,” Lorena shares.
The dining table at Peach Grove House becomes more than just a place to eat; it’s a canvas for storytelling and connection. Hoya Japanese Crystal glassware, Reed & Barton silver flatware, and heirloom embroidered linens enhance the elegance, the magical Emperor Art Creations candles with their handmade artistic designs brought from Austria, while personalized touches—such as handmade place cards and fresh sprigs of rosemary—invite guests to savor each moment.
The Art of Holiday Hosting
At Peach Grove House, Lorena and Keith embody the spirit of gracious hospitality. The dining experience isn’t just about the tableware—it’s about creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where guests feel like family.
Lorena’s thoughtful details extend to every corner of the room. Seasonal Christmas arrangements, especially designed by Amy of F.H. Corwin Florist & Greenhouses, bring a touch of Warwick’s natural beauty indoors. A centerpiece of fresh pine boughs and cranberries evokes a festive yet understated charm, blending seamlessly with the Spode collection’s timeless aesthetic.
“Hosting is about the people as much as the setting,” Keith says. “We love seeing the smiles and laughter that fill this room, especially during the holidays.”
A Seasonal Dining Experience

Start your day with a festive breakfast of spiced apple pancakes, served on Spode plates that make every bite feel special. Evening dinners highlight local ingredients, from farm-fresh vegetables to artisanal cheeses, paired with carefully curated wines.
Adding to the experience, guest chefs are often invited to prepare specialty dinners, showcasing their culinary artistry and creativity. These exclusive events offer guests a chance to savor unique, seasonal menus crafted with the finest local ingredients, all served on our elegant china collections.
“Fine china brings a sense of occasion to even the simplest meal,” Lorena explains. “It’s a way to make every gathering feel extraordinary.”
