IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN. GO ahead and get a little carried away with decorating your home.
No one is likely to accuse you of bad taste.
That’s one of the gifts of the holiday season: the opportunity to go all out with color, lights, greenery and flowers.
Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the changing of seasons or some combination of traditions, there’s no right or wrong way to go about decorating.
But a little inspiration is sometimes helpful. So we asked a few top interior designers — Ken Fulk; Stephen Alesch and Robin Standefer, founding partners of Roman and Williams; and Rayman Boozer, founder of interior design firm Apartment 48 — to show us how they create holiday magic in their own homes in Manhattan.
• An old-fashioned celebration
Fulk got his start in interior design at a young age, when he took over decorating his family home on the outskirts of Charlottesville, Virginia, for the holidays.
“The holidays were a very big deal,” Fulk said. “When I was 6, I began to orchestrate them.” That meant putting together a detailed schedule listing every step that needed to be completed, including cutting down a Christmas tree with his father.
The decorations covered two levels of their home. “The main level was always traditional, kind of Currier & Ives, old-Virginia-meetsold-England holidays,” he said. “Downstairs was groovy, where we had a metallic tinsel tree. It was a whole ‘shagadelic’ Christmas.”
These days, Fulk is based in San Francisco, and he takes a different approach to holiday decorating. Even so, he said, “I still have that childlike excitement about it. It’s the opportunity to go the extra length, to use the good china, to break out the silver and to be generous, in all forms of that word.”
To decorate his Tribeca loft, which serves a dual purpose as his pied-à-terre and New York office, Fulk and his assistants mixed
Ken Fulk, a designer, sets up a holiday dining table in New York. There’s no right way to decorate for whatever holidays you celebrate. But it never hurts to borrow some ideas from the pros. (ASHOK SINHA / THE NEW YORK TIMES)“Everyone thinks I overdo things, but I’m actually doing it for myself,” he said. “I think that’s what Christmas is about: abundance.”

VARIATIONS ON A holiday tree theme include: a cut tree; a living tree (planted outside after the holidays); or an artificial tree. If you shudder to sacrifice a tree each year, if you fear becoming eventually engulfed in a dark forest of living holiday trees, or if you are repulsed by the coldness of an artificial tree, there is another possibility. Each holiday season, a houseplant can be dressed up as a holiday tree.
For a holiday look, said houseplant should resemble one of the fine-needled evergreens of our Northern forests. None of the pines, spruces, and firs that grow outside around here could survive in the eternal warmth of a home. In their stead, I nominate Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla) as a houseplant to do justice to all the trappings normally accorded trees.
Norfolk Island pine grows to a veritable giant — two-hundred feet or more — where it can survive outdoors. But that is only in the tropics. Indoors, Norfolk Island pine is a slow-growing tree with a single, vertical trunk from which radiate, in successive tiers, five-branch whorls. Each branch clothed in short, soft, green needles. These slightly drooping branches give the plant a graceful, pagoda-like symmetry and are perfect ledges from which to hang strings of popcorn, tinsel, and gaily colored balls.
Botanical varieties of this plant vary in their color and form. The variety Gracilis makes an especially nice holiday tree because of its compact growth habit. For interesting leaf color, there is the variety Leopoldii, with glaucous green leaves, and the variety Albospica (also called “Silver Star”), with leaves that are white at the very tips of new growth.
Given moderate amounts of
light and water, Norfolk Island pine will thrive in almost every home. With insufficient light, the plant gets lanky and drops its bottom branches (which will not grow back!). But dry air and pests rarely bother the plant. My Norfolk Island pine always grew near a west window, some years in a room where the plant basked in the warmth of a woodstove, and other years in a bedroom where the plant was periodically blasted with icy chills from an open window. Though both sites seem to suit the plant well, neither is just like the plant’s native home of Norfolk Island in the South Pacific. So each year, when spring finally had driven away winter chill for another season, my plant got a vacation.
I repotted it and moved it, not to Norfolk Island, but outside my house, to the dappled shade beneath a white pine. My plant grew so well that I had to begin thinking about what to do when it outgrows my house. Buying a new plant is an easy option. A new plant could also be grown from seed, but Norfolk Island pines grown from seed develop into plants that are too lanky. Two feet between successive whorls of leaves might be acceptable for a hundred-foot tree outdoors, but looks foolish on a houseplant only four feet tall.
The way to propagate a compact Norfolk Island pine is to grow a new plant from a cutting. When a plant gets too big,
lop off the leading shoot, strip off its lower leaves, and set it in a mixture of peat and perlite to root. Fall is the best time for this. Additional plants can be made from cuttings of the new, vertical shoots that develop from below where a leading shoot is removed. Be patient with these cuttings; they are slow to root. Cuttings taken from horizontal branches also can be rooted. The problem is that they never will grow into plants that stand up straight
and are symmetrical. A lopsided Norfolk Island pine might be the right form to suggest a pine tree bucking the elements on a windswept promontory. But it’s not the right form for a holiday
tree.

vintage artifacts with a flurry of magnolia leaves, flowers, lights and favorite serving dishes to create a warm, inviting atmosphere with a dash of nostalgia. To adorn his Christmas tree, Fulk repurposed vintage objects rather than using store-bought ornaments. For sparkle, he threaded hooks through individual pieces of crystal that had come loose from chandeliers. He did the same with vintage tassels and epaulets, and tied old ribbon intended for military uniforms around individual branches (all of which came from Tinsel Trading, a company founded in New York and now based in Berkeley, California). To finish off the tree, he added bunches of foraged pheasant feathers (which came from Jamali Garden in New York’s flower district).
The pièce de résistance was the dessert buffet, where he mixed conventional holiday elements with decidedly unconventional ones. To create towering vases bursting with flowers, he combined cut amaryllis, a classic winter bulb, with peonies, which are difficult to find after early summer, adding pomegranates and more magnolia leaves. He filled big silver bowls with heaping arrangements of mandarins, persimmons and pears. He heaped silverand gold-rimmed porcelain serving platters with cookies, meringues, chocolates and nuts, and placed them below a tower of French macarons from Ladurée. Finally, he arranged taper candles in mismatched candlesticks at various heights across the spread, to give the whole expanse a romantic glow.
“I’m still that guy who loves holiday rituals, whatever they may be,” he said. “It’s not about the material stuff; it’s about those experiences and shared times. It still makes me crazy when I go to things and someone hasn’t made the effort. Because it just seems like: Why would you not take the opportunity?”
• Natural décor that’s good enough to eat
Every winter, Alesch and Standefer layer cut greenery and flowers into their NoHo loft with such abundance that it can feel as if nature has run amok. In doing so, the couple celebrate not just the holidays but the end of fall and the beginning of winter.
“We’re preparing for winter, and collecting all the treasures of the harvest and the last green before it dries up,” said Alesch, who is an avid gardener at the couple’s second home, in Montauk, New York.
“It’s almost in our biology to collect and celebrate these things before this long, gray winter. Because after Jan. 1, we hibernate.”
Another inspiration is Scandinavian artist Louis Moe’s 1930 children’s book, “The Forest Party,” which has illustrations depicting animals dressed up in fancy clothes to share a lavish feast in the woods. The couple strive to create similar unexpected moments that will delight their guests.
This year, friends arriving for holiday meals may not immediately notice that the vintage metal light fixture hanging over the dining table has disappeared behind an enormous cluster of mistletoe — but once they do, it’s an invitation to kiss their dinner companions.
“We always use mistletoe,” said Standefer, who worked with her husband to drape the light fixture not only with sprigs of natural mistletoe, but also with shaggy branches of juniper, pine and asparagus foliage to create something resembling a tree canopy. “If there’s any tension at your holiday table, hopefully that dispels it. You can just kiss it goodbye.”
Over time, Standefer added, she and Alesch have become increasingly focused on decorating in a way that minimizes waste, by using locally grown plants and foodstuffs that can be eaten, dried or composted at the end of the holiday season. On a recent day, they mixed real nuts, grapes, cherries, pears and mandarins with marzipan doppelgängers from Fortunato Brothers, scattering them throughout the apart-
ment, on living room side tables and on a large cabinet with glass doors that serves as a bar. Everything is edible, and the arrangements offer a sense of fun that keeps guests on their toes.
The only downside to decorating with food, Standefer said, is that Alesch can’t stop eating the decor: “We fight for cooking versus decorating.”
On the dinner table, they displayed real mushrooms with marzipan ones and threaded kale leaves through silver rings as conversation-starting napkins that could be eaten at the end of the meal or cooked at a later date. (They also equipped each place setting with a traditional linen napkin, lest things get too messy.)
To decorate the Christmas tree, they hung antique Czech glass ornaments collected over decades alongside new, natural ones made from strawflowers affixed to balls of paper-mache. Then they draped a garland of sliced, dried teasel between the branches of the tree. Behind the bar, they swagged a second garland made from teasel and sweet gum and poppy seed pods.
“We love dried things, because you can use them a second time,” Standefer said.
• A cross-cultural holiday, with gumdrops
When Boozer decorates his NoHo apartment for the holidays, he mixes old and new.
“I don’t always take all the stuff out of the closet,” Boozer said, describing his cache of holiday decorations, “because I feel like it can get really repetitive.”
This year, he decided to mix mementos from his years growing up in Alabama and Indiana with souvenirs from
travels to places such as Mexico, Morocco and France. “It’s a true reflection of who I am,” Boozer said. “I like to travel and pick up things when I go.”
For festive lighting, he dropped LED candles into paper bags to give his apartment a warm glow, as his mother
DO YOU HAVE FOND childhood (or more recent!) memories of spending a winter day sliding down a snowy hill?
Sledding is a pastime that has been around for a long time.
Archaeologists have evidence that the earliest sleds were used not in cold, snowy climates, but in ancient Egypt. Heavy loads like stone for construction or monuments were loaded onto platforms with runners and pushed along tracks to their destination. With snow on the ground, tracks aren’t necessary.
Over time, sleds took the form of sleighs or sledges and could be drawn from the front or pushed from behind. Sleds have been in use for so long that it’s uncertain when they went from being practical vehicles to children’s toys. The first steerable sled for
children, the Flexible Flyer, was patented in 1889. Before then, children played with homemade sleds that are now collected as folk art.
This sled, painted blue with yellow stripes and a spray of flowers, with metal swan’s head handles, was made in the 19th century and sold for $328 at an auction by Pook & Pook, Inc. If you have an antique sled that you want to use, yet keep in the best possible condition as a collectible, coat it with liquid furniture wax, then buff it. A few days later, coat it with paste furniture wax. Even the metal can be waxed after you remove any rust, and the waxing should make the sled slide even faster.

and grandchildren don’t want them, so we’d like to sell them. They are 3 1/2 inches tall. The bottoms are marked “Frank M. Whiting & Company,” the letter “W” in a circle, and “weighted and reinforced.” What are they worth?
A. Frank M. Whiting worked in partnership with two others to form Holbrook, Whiting & Albee in North Attleboro. In 1878, he bought out his partners and founded F.M. Whiting & Co. The company made silver flatware and hollowware. The name of the company was changed to Frank M. Whiting & Co. in 1896. It became part of Ellmore Silver Co. about 1940. Ellmore Silver Co. went out of business about 1960. The words “weighted and reinforced” indicate that your candlesticks are not solid silver. The base is filled with plaster, lead or another material wrapped in a thin layer of silver. The silver in your weighted candlestick may only account for about 10% of the weight of the piece. The value of silver is based on the meltdown value of the silver it contains. Depending on the style and condition, your candlesticks might sell for about $60.
Q. My wife acquired about 150 pieces of Craftsman stemware brought back from Japan by someone who was in the Occupation Force. I believe the etching design is “Wisteria.” Most of the glasses still have the gold foil “Craftsman Stemware, Japan” sticker on them. We have no idea what to do with them or what price to ask. Can you help us?
A. American troops and some British troops occupied the main islands of Japan from 1945 to 1952, while the Soviet Union and China occupied other Japanese territories. Many soldiers and
sailors brought Japanese goods home when they returned to the States. Glasses made by Craftsman Stemware sell for about $7 to $10 each. It is hard to sell a large set of stemware. You can look online for shops that sell Craftsman Stemware and see if they will buy it, but you will have to pack it securely and ship it. They will give you about half what they can sell them for since they have to make a profit. It’s easier to try a local consignment shop or donate the glasses to a charity and take the tax deduction.
Q. I’d like to know the possible value of a Florence Ceramics three-section bonbon dish. It’s light pink with two applied pink roses and one rose bud in the center where the three parts come together. It has irregularly shaped ruffled and fluted edges and is about 9 inches by 9 inches.

the wax with cotton swabs.
A. Florence Ward started Florence Ceramics Co. in Pasadena, California, in 1942. She worked out of her garage until moving to larger quarters in 1946. The company was in business until 1964, when it was sold to Scripto Corp., which closed in 1977. The company is best known for its figurines depicting historical or fictional characters. Boxes, bud vases, candleholders, candy dishes and other decorative items were also made. Several different pieces were made with delicate applied roses. A dish similar to yours was listed online for $50.
TIP: To remove wax from a Hanukkah menorah or another candleholder with small candle cups, run hot water in the holes or use a hair dryer to warm the metal, then remove

long-term U.S. mortgage rate declined for the fifth straight week, even as the Federal Reserve just raised its key borrowing rate for the seventh time this year and signaled there were more to come in 2023.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the average on the benchmark 30-year rate inched down to 6.31% from 6.33% the previous week. A year ago the average rate was 3.12%. The average long-term rate reached 7.08% as recently as early November.
Mortgage rates are still more than double what they were a year ago, mirroring a sharp rise in the yield on the 10-year Treasury note.
The yield is mostly influenced by global demand for U.S. Treasurys and investor expectations for future inflation, which heighten the prospect of rising interest rates overall.
The rate for a 15-year mortgage, popular with those refinancing their homes, fell to 5.54% from 5.67% the previous week. It was 2.34% one year ago.
