http://www.decor-ideas.org 12/03/2013 20:10 Decor Ideas
Looking to add some merriment to your holiday decor this Christmas? Unpacking your decorations and feeling a little bored? It can happen to the best of us, no matter how much we love our past picks. This month I’ve rounded up a few of my current favorite Christmas treats from around the web. There’s a little bit of everything here: silver and gold, and fresh takes on traditional holiday decorations. I love the classics, but adding one or two of these to your holiday party will make your oldies (but goodies!) have that certain wow factor again. — Jenny from Hank and Hunt
Antique Bloom Wreath This stunning gilded wreath is the perfect centerpiece for above the mantel or for an update to a bar.
Town Square Sculpture - $24 I love this simple and whimsical version of the traditional Christmas village.
Marais Gold Glazed Cake Stand - $96 A gilded cake stand — need I say more? This one has a crisp, modern shape and is without all the frills that usually come with the holidays.
Malachite Champagne Flute - $23 I love malachite; the pattern is just gorgeous. The etching on this flute looks almost like a wintry version of the stone.
Oversize Copper Mug - $28 Classic copper mugs are ready for Moscow Mules or swanked-up hot cocoa. These would be at home on both modern and traditional tables.
Classic Tartan Plaid Napkins - $49.95 Everyone should have a little plaid for the holidays. Bright red in a classic tartan feels jolly.
Threshold Ceramic Standing Deer Figural, White - $14.99 I love this take on a reindeer. A simple design is hard to find, so snatch up a few while you still can. I haven’t seen any like these in years, and I know my Christmas decorations.
Threshold Decorative Tray, Red - $19.99 Bright pops of red make a room feel merry, even if this tray is the only red in the room. In fact, it would be a great accent item. I could also see its being used at a barbecue next summer too.
Marimekko Kuusikossa Tray - $38.50 Fun, cheerful trees in a modern black and white pattern make this the perfect plate for cookies.
Threshold Glass Double Old-Fashioned Tumbler, Silver Ombré - $5.99 Vintage glasses? Nope, they just look like them. Grabbing this set is easier than hunting around on eBay; just hop over to Target ASAP.
Mercury Lantern Lights - $88 These beautiful mercury glass hurricanes are actually a strand of Christmas lights. And I am in love with this mantel design: Just add snow and voilà.
Silver Bells Wreath - $188 Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle … wreath! Finally, here is a simple and merry wreath with no bow. It’s classic yet still modern.
Aureux Carving Knife - $78 Serve in style! Golden serveware is stunning and would look amazing at any meal, but it really ups the wow factor for the holidays.
Glimmer-Wrapped Glassware, Silver - $16 These glasses are modern and just got added to my bar cart collection. Even my mother-in-law loves them, and her style is much more traditional than mine.
Lily Candleholders - $24 These remind me of vintage candlesticks. I love the gilded lily crown that holds the candle.
Gilda Coasters - $48 Shiny gold coasters to accent your gilded cake plate? Yep. Gild everything!
Entwined Tree, Ivory - $68 A candy cane forest? This is perfect for a buffet or a hall table with tiny mercury glass ornaments for a bit of sparkle. Or hang mini muslin bags to make an Advent calendar.
Evergreen Napkin - $10 I picture these little tree napkins on a solid white and wintry table setting. They’re a little quirky but very merry.
Luxe Moderne Glass Flutes - $72 These are a modern take on the classic flute and come complete with gilded confetti patterns. Use them throughout the holidays up to New Year’s.
Cotton Tea Towel, Red Border - $9 I use this tea towel in multiples as napkins, and they add a simple pop of red to the table. Plus, they are big enough to wipe up any spills from overly merry guests.
