A team of Interior Design students put their skills to work while creating an atmosphere of holiday enchantment in a South Boston townhouse.

This is the fourth time that leading interior architecture and design students have volunteered their time and gained valuable design experience by decorating a home for an annual Catholic Charities Laboure Center fundraiser. The house tour attracts 2,000 visitors over two days.

Additional students had a chance to contribute to the festivities by making ornaments that were hung on a holiday house Christmas tree.
