Guest Picks: Dreaming of a White Christmas

Red and green are the tried and trusted traditional Christmas colors, but this year I’m dreaming of a white Christmas. And I’m not just talking about snow. Try something different this holiday season by making your home a shimmery haven of whites, creams, silvers and golds. — Gabrielle from Savvy Home

Cotton Stem - $10 Fluffy white cotton balls on stems make great holiday decor. Display them in a tall vase in the entrance, and their snow-like appearance will bring the outside right in.


Cortlandt Rug, Warm Taupe The subtle diamond pattern in this wool and silk rug will shimmer in the winter light. This is a great rug for every season that would especially fit right in come Christmastime.


Maison Canopy Bed - $699 Christmas is a time for dreaming. As a little girl, I always dreamed of having a canopy bed, just like a princess would have. Make one little girl’s dream come true this Christmas.


Paper Pendant, Zinnia - $38 Holiday decorations can be tacky, but I find this snowflake-like paper pendant to be anything but. Hang it in multiples for maximum effect.


Bergen Embroidered Pillow Cover - $64 There’s something about this embroidered pillow cover that reminds me of snowflakes and icicles. With subtle hints of soft green and icy blue, it is the ultimate winter pillow.


Plated Glass Hurricane, Silver - $98 On the mantelpiece, the dinner table or anywhere else in the house, this gold-plated glass hurricane will add shimmer and shine.


Sheepskin Throw - $198 There is nothing cozier than a sheepskin draped on a comfortable chair. Besides, Christmas is the perfect time for embracing winter clichés.


Morton Table Lamp - $420 I can’t think of a better way to make a house shine than with this gorgeous aged iron lamp by Aerin Lauder. It’s my favorite thing at the moment.


The Aten Light This antiqued silver sconce is the ultimate holiday lights. It comes electrified or not, so you can choose between modern usefulness and old-world charm.


Aleppo Inlay Table - $895 Anything that’s white and shimmery gets my tick of approval this winter. This inlay side table glitters like snow in the sunshine.


Bourg Joly Bord Uni Perle Dessert Plate - $128 It must be the delicate scalloped edge on this Bourg Joly plate that reminds me of a perfectly decorated cake. The plate is just festive enough while still being versatile.


Seeing Stars Quilt, Blue - $220 If these light blue quilted stars don’t look like snowflakes, I don’t know what does. Keep your family and guests warm with this subtly festive quilt from Furbish.


Mortar Side Table/Stool, White This porcelain Mortar stool by Tucker Robins is the perfect addition to any home during the holidays. It’s versatile and can accommodate many situations, whether you need an extra seat or a place to put a drink on during a crowded party.


Botanical Olive Print Apron - $29.95 Olives may not be the most festive fruit, but this off-white apron with a pattern of delicate leaves and ripe fruit feels simply perfect for Christmas cooking. It’s also suitable year-round.


Glass Globes, Fog, Medium - $48 We all get to the point where our Christmas tree decorations have reached an intolerable level of colorful, and in those times, these simple cream glass ornaments are a lifesaver.


White Lacquered Chippendale Mirror - $1,045 This ornate mirror will add a touch of glamour to any space. Its white tone is more subdued than its gilded counterpart, making it perfect for standing out on a colored wall.
