PHOTOGRAPHY AND STYLING BY Diane Carroll
Between homeowner Diane Carroll needed a place to show off her vintage Santa mugs, her Rae Dunn collection, and her Christmas-themed toffee tins, she found the perfect corner and went to work.
“I always shop my own Home first before buying something new” says Diane. By sifting through cupboards she assembled everything she needed to create a festive and usable mug-station niche.
Diane started with large item s first; that included the mug rack and the display cases. She then layered item s from back to front, in groups of three, five, or seven item s. Creating smaller vignettes within the overall scheme keeps the area from looking cluttered. Adding fresh greens, a reindeer garland, a small piece of artwork and a seasonal sign completes the inviting nook.
