IF YOUR HOME DOESN’T HAVE A FIREPLACE, FEAR NOT. HERE ARE SIX ALTERNATIVE AND EQUALLY MERRY WAYS TO HANG YOUR STOCKINGS.
Walls & Ceilings
DISCOVER DECORATION you could never dream up! Even early on: It turns out that the murky “colonial” palette of the 1950s–1970s was based on paint samples embedded with dirt and altered by time.
Kitchens & revival baths
As we all know, kitchens have rarely escaped remodeling. Oddly enough, a period-inspired kitchen is less likely to look “dated” because it’s timeless, and takes cues from the rest of the house. Rely on classic, natural materials like wood and stone. For cabinets and millwork, mimic woodwork in the dining room or pantry, but make it simpler rather than grand.
