Evenly spaced trees glow from each front window of Susan Randolph’s home.
Apalette of all white is the holiday decor theme for Susan Randolph’s home. To prepare the house for the Christmas By Candlelight Tour, she enlisted the help of Ann Davis Design.
From Club View Drive you can see the soft glow of the home with five white Christmas trees lining the dining room.
A chandelier with custommade antique blue and aqua crystals catches your eye as you enter the house. Under your feet, a white shag rug covers the pine wood floors, offering a warm welcome.
Tulsa artist Chris Mantle created the painting that hangs above the fireplace on the screened back porch. The painting was commissioned for the tour.
Susan Randolph chose an all-white palette to decorate her home for the Christmas by Candlelight Tour.
The sleek, clean decor of the modern kitchen is in keeping with the theme.
Built in 2005, the home includes three bedrooms, three and a half baths, a large dining room that opens into a modern kitchen with a wood-covered island, and a closed-in back porch.
John Brooks Walton was the architect for the home.
Randolph said the house was built with the intention of giving an island vibe, inspired by West Indies architecture.
Randolph’s love for scubadiving can be detected in simple details in every room. Coral reef and seashells are on display throughout the home.
A table completely covered in a variety of different types of shells is Randolph’s favorite piece of furniture. She said it was a gift from her parents, created by renowned Tulsa interior designer Charles Faudree before he died.
Randolph said she wanted to have a window view in every room, and that element was beautifully achieved.

Susan Randolph decorates her outside porch area with the same theme that can be found throughout the home.
“You can’t have an ocean home in Oklahoma,” she said. “I wanted something that felt like outdoor living on the islands.”
From the dining room guests can look through the front windows to view the Country Club Golf Course. Turn around, and the view changes to a crystal clear swimming pool and small pond in the backyard.
The white holiday theme is extended from the dining room into the kitchen and back porch.
White decorations cover vases and furniture. White holiday wreaths cover glass side tables.
“It’s everything needed to look like a snowflake,” Davis said.
Artwork hangs throughout the house by Randolph’s friend, Tulsa artist, Chris Mantle. A reindeer painting done especially for the tour hangs over the fireplace in the back porch area.
“This is where the fun happens,” Randolph said.
Randolph said while inviting guests into her home is fun, the main reason she decided to be listed on the tour was to benefit the Kelly B. Todd Cerebral Palsy and Neuro-muscular Center.
Susan Randolph’s living room shimmers with Christmas lights seen from the deck around her pool.
