Checking in quickly to share a few snaps from my holiday table this year featuring my new Johnston’s of England tartan plaid blanket I picked up at a local boutique, Mackimmie & Co., in Lenox, Mass this past fall.
The owner of the boutique shared with me that Johnston’s actually uses the same mill as Hermes, Burberry and other luxury brands. The quality is outstanding and what I love most is that it’s actually reversible!! So yes, you can use it all winter long after Christmas. 🙂
Hope everyone has a safe, happy & healthy holiday season!!! Bring on 2021!!!
Although our holidays will look a little different (and smaller) this year, doesn’t mean we should skip out on a little gift idea for the holiday hostess! Â I always love putting together gift ideas for the hostess – from champagne coupes to beautiful linens, shop over 20 gift ideas for the holiday hostess on your list!
It’s starting to feel like fall (finally!!) here in New York with temperatures dropping and Halloween right around the corner. Today I’m excited to share with you guys how I’m setting the table for fall with Juliska! It’s no secret around here how much I love the brand — Juliska’s tabletop collections are timeless and you can easily mix and match the collections throughout the year.
I ran to the flower market before getting started and found some beautiful fall hydrangeas — I’m not sure if these technically have a name but I loved the purplish/green tint and thought they would make a great statement in the center of the table. They were quite large as well so I trimmed the stems to see if they would fit in one of my most used Juliska pieces — the oversized glass hurricane. If you like to decorate with hurricanes as well, I highly recommend the 15.75″ hurricane!
After creating the centerpiece, I started layering the table with Juliska’s rustic rope natural chargers. They are even more beautiful in person and in my opinion are the perfect layering piece for setting a fall table. Aren’t they pretty!?
I then mixed and matched the dinner and salad plates pulling from the French Panel & Berry and Thread collections — I opted for the French Panel for the dinner plates and the round berry and thread salad plates in white wash.
When it comes to Juliska’s glass collections you can easily save for special occasions or use them everyday! I mixed and matched the footed water goblets (which we now use everyday) with Juliska’s full body red wine glasses.
We also displayed the Amalia wine decanter right on the table which was great for our friends to just easily pass around and pour themselves another glass of wine.
Last but not least, I finished layering the table with Juliska’s Berry and Thread 5 piece Satin Flatware setting. The silverware is made out of stainless steel and I how it gave our table a rustic but refined style!
P.s. I know the holidays are about to sneak up on us — for anyone on your list who may be looking to expand their tabletop collection or are recently engaged, I’d recommend any of Juliska pieces that come in the white wash — their Amalia entertainment and serving pieces make for great gifts! Take a peek at their triple server, 10″ serving bowl, or the whitewash chip n’ dip platter. And just in case you missed it, take a peek at previous Juliska tablescapes right here!!
I love our little galley kitchen here in New York and how it’s come together over the years. I need to snap some more photos for you guys but in the meantime today I wanted to share how I style our kitchen!
Some of my favorite pieces I’ve collected over time include this cute little breadbox, this Williams-Sonoma cutting board, a sailboat photo I picked up on Nantucket (similar), and a white tray to display a mini lamp, coffee mug tree and mugs! One of my favorite kitchen styling tips is rotating coffee mugs based on the season — right now I have the white Juliska Berry and Thread mugs on display and will soon swap out soon for the Pottery Barn plaid mugs! Also, if you don’t have a mini lamp in your kitchen — I couldn’t recommend more. It creates a warm light and is great to keep on if you need a night light in your kitchen.
Other cute and affordable items I have on display include this white marble wine canister (only $20!) — I use this piece so many different ways. We use it to hold wine of course, but I also use it to display olive oil or candle if we have people over. I style this white milk glass cake stand next to our cookbooks. And I actually use this marble wine chiller for our wooden spoons!
