In this video, I’m decorating my kitchen for the holidays—but really, it’s not about my kitchen. It’s about holiday decor and how to make your favorite pieces look their best: lifted, enhanced, and a little more special. I walk you through how I build quick vignettes using “feature items” (like my Lenox Santas and snow globes) and then a supporting cast—ribbon, ornaments, beads, twinkle lights, faux florals, and even fruit. My whole goal is to help you avoid that “flat” look by adding height, foundation, and a bit of glimmer. I also share some of my more creative tricks, like using an upside-down dog bowl as a platform (yes, really), layering with a ribbon remnant to hide labels and create a base, and using paintings in the background when my modern backsplash doesn’t play nicely with classic Christmas decor. We do little “stories” too—like a tea setup with Lenox cups—and I show how repeating themes (brown glass, magnolias, ribbon bows, twinkly lights) pulls the whole room together. Plus, I share a simple DIY fix: if a snow globe base has a color you’re over, acrylic paint is your best friend.
