The Holidays are almost upon us, and with them comes entertaining. Let’s face it, it’s really the food and breaking bread with family and friends that makes a Holiday special, so I knew I wanted the dining table to be my focal point this season.

If you’re like me, you love hosting, but feel challenged when it comes to preserving your style while still creating the perfect festive atmosphere all at the same time.

It’s not that I don’t love the Holidays, but I’m just not a huge fan of the one-time use, toss away till next year, kitschy décor that often comes with it.

To me the Holidays extend beyond Christmas or Hanukkah. That’s why I was on a mission to find pieces that I would love in my home all winter long. I wanted to create a timeless space. A space that would last past the month of December. A space that says “it’s the Holidays,” without screaming it. A space sans reindeer candle holders and Santa mugs.

The answer… Nothing says festive Holidays to me like the gift of gold!
