Tired of the same, stale holiday dcor you pull out year after year? Update your home's holiday look this year with these fabulous finds:
Modernize the mantle with Diagonal Stripe Stockings and a mixed jewels garland .
Have the kids cut their names (or just first initials) out of heavy construction paper and decorate with glitter and beads to add a homemade touch to the stockings.
Get rid of the tinsel that you'll forever be picking off the carpet and drape your tree with a retro-cool mirrored garland and mirror balls .
With a few of
Anthropologie.com's
fun
ornaments,
a string of simple white lights (don't forget to add a few
keepsake
photo
ornaments
), and a
modern
tree skirt
, you'll have the most attractive tree on the block.
We haven't left out Chanukah!
PlumParty.com offers a
Chanukah
garland
and
lights
as well as an
ultra-modern
menorah
.
Finally, don't forget to fill your home with a festive scent.
Seda's
Holiday Candle and Spray
bring elegant, understated hints of fir, bergamot and
grapefruit to any room. The spray is perfect for the guest
bathroom.
Williams-Sonoma's Mulling Spices do double-duty: the blend of cinnamon, clove and orange infuses cider (or, better yet, wine) with the flavor of the holidays while sending the warm fragrance throughout the house. I'll often throw a pan of water on the stove with the spices just for the aroma.
