Layered Holiday Decor

During the holidays I always have a tree and a decorated mantel.   If I have the time, I like to add some holiday to other rooms too.  This year I added some Christmas in the kitchen.

With me, it's all about layering.  Holiday decor is no exception.  One of my favorite vintage pieces is this curvy black and gold chest.  It holds all my table linens.   You'll see my vintage coffee urn turned lamp, some empty gold-leafed frames, a mirror and a stack of vintage books.  To dress it all for the holidays, I added a striped tree and magnolia branches.  I also draped a gold tassel over the frames.

HOLIDAY IN THE CORNER OF MY KITCHEN

The black and white striped tree was the only holiday decor I purchased for myself this year.  I already have so much and I promised myself that I wouldn't buy another thing.  I couldn't pass up the tree.  It was so me.  Confession:  I may have purchased a second co-ordinating tree too.

Magnolia leaves clipped from a neighbor's tree are a lovely way to add holiday to your decor.

For me, layering decor elements creates a unique space that has texture, depth, interest, and richness.  I've written about layering before here.

I hope that you all have a wonderful holiday season filled with fun, family and friends.
