A WINTER 2015 THE HOSTING WITH THE MOST-ING EDITION

WINTROVERTED
Seasonal décor doesn’t have to make a big deal about itself. Natural elements like birch and coniferous trees, fur throws or poufs, and simple garlands can be a nice break from dancing Santas and tinselled trees.

Reclaim YOUR SPACE A
Don’t let condo living cramp your style. Stretch out with pieces like the new Yaletown Dining Collection, made from reclaimed wood. From continental breakfast, to intimate dinner or swanky soirée, it’s small-scale made upscale.
SEBASTIEN FAUTEUX, CREATIVE DIRECTOR
An easy way to manage the flow of guests through your space is to create a spot to stop for a bite. A counter-height table, like Yaletown, is ideal for party grazing.

A SPRINKLE

BREAKFAST
A few thoughtful extras can really make your guests feel at home. Besides pillows and throws, little things like the morning paper and a nice robe will make their stay. But don’t go overboard, or they’ll never leave.

It’s not often that you host a party in your bedroom (or maybe it is, no judgment) so think about integrating your accent chair into your living room for extra seating. Or, remove a piece of furniture to create more space. A little switcheroo can do wonders.

Where the A
MAGIC HAPPENS More than a meal shared with friends, holiday entertaining provides an opportunity to serve up a sense of wonder. Surprise your guests with a gorgeous table display and turn your dinner party into a space for memories to be made.
Chateau Sideboard (Chestnut)
A centrepiece is a nice way to create a focal point for your table or sideboard. I like the idea of using our sleigh as a base and topping it with candles of various heights and a few tree ornaments. That way it’s a little more versatile and can live on throughout the winter season.

Inclined A
TO RECLINE
It’s a little known fact that humans require periods of inactivity to recharge every winter. When intense audio input and visual stimuli are coupled with lower-limb elevation and the intake of fermented liquids, maximus relaxamus may be achieved. LEFT Vista Recliners, Ironside Entertainment Unit, Brice Rug, Cantina Extension Counter Table, Alchemy Bull Wall Art, Hungry Wall Art, Pour Me Some Whiskey Sign, Cold Beer Sign, Live Music Wall Art
Be sure to chill any beer or wine at least two hours before your guests arrive. And don’t forget to put out some glasses and a few munchies.
