Welcome to a Junky Holiday!
The best kind of holiday to have! Why, you ask?
Well, it's easy, it's elegant, and...it's junk-inspired!
Check it out!
Start with a vintage Christmas tree stand picked up at a garage or estate sale. Or, better yet, maybe you have one in the attic or basement!
That's all there is to it! An elegant Junk-inspired holiday! Here's a toast to the upcoming holiday season from WhisperWood Cottage!
Simply add some greens and a bottle of champagne, wine, or sparkling water. Voila...a special centerpiece for your holiday table.
This particular tree stand allows for the center tube to be removed. Place it lengthwise on the table to hold a bottle, silverware, napkins, etc. If using it for silverware, you probably want to line it with a cloth napkin first.
Convert the base of the tree stand into a multi-tiered server by placing plates or bowls on each level. Serve chips and dip, veggies, crackers, etc. Mix in a silver chalkboard stand with a loving message (above), a cheese dome (above), or a toast and jam server (below) to make it extra special. Don't forget to add a little candlelight and sparkle!
Use an old store display piece to show off your favorite new or vintage ornaments. This is my collection of Serenity angel ornaments glowing in the candlelight.
Then add a couple of vintage candlestick holders to add to the glitz and glam. These stunning pieces were picked up at a garage sale last summer. Is it okay that these are gold instead of silver? Of course! The gold coordinates with the gold on the champagne bottle, the golden glow of the candlelight, and the twigs in the greenery. If it works, it works! There are no rules except your own in Junk-inspired holiday decor!
