Happy New Year’s Eve!

Are you staying in tonight or headed out? I’m headed out, although these festive tablescapes are making me wish I was staying in! Last year I did and we had a great time decorating, cooking and drinking champagne. Not that there won’t be champagne this year!

There are just so many little and exciting details that go into a New Year’s Eve tabletop that are easy – like using the party noisemakers as part of the centerpieces and adding clocks around the table. Anything with glitter and/or sequins works for New Year’s too! Do you see the last image has watches as napkin rings? How cute is that!?

If you’re staying in this year, what fun details are you incorporating into your night?

In lieu of the holiday season, there won’t be a Weekly Six this week, but rather a round-up of sequins. Being that New Year’s Eve is on Monday, I’m in the mood for sequins. How about you?

Last night at the mall, I snagged up an adorable sequin dress and the gold sequin clutch above. So now I’m in the sequin mood more than ever! Wouldn’t it be fun to host a party with those sequin chairs or that sequin table cloth?

Or that sequin graffiti on the side of your house? Yes, please!

Will you be wearing or decorating with sequins this New Year’s Eve?

A couple of months ago, the kind people over at AllModern sent me the awesome Artecnica Phrena Table Lamp you see above.

The base is a thin gold wire and the shade is a large and white, made of Tyvek construction – and it looks amazing in my bedroom! I haven’t decided if it will stay there, because my living room is full of gold and white accents and it would look even better there than where it is now. Initially, I wanted to put it on my desk, but that’s in the basement and this lamp is just too fabulous to hide!

In addition to this awesome lamp, AllModern has TONS of other home accessories and modern furniture if you’re in the post-holiday shopping mood!

What do you think of my new lamp? Any ideas for where I should put it?

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday yesterday, whether you were celebrating or not!

Today we’re back to the grind with this simple yet fabulous product pick – 3 Stories Up. You can probably guess from the photos where the name comes from – this piece can be used as one solid storage unit or up to three separate units. It is made of walnut veneered boards with sleek brass inlays.

Designed by Jon Mitchell Furniture, the 3 Stories Up is super stylish and super functional. What do you think of this week’s product pick?

Merry Christmas from Six Different Ways! Hope you have a wonderful holiday full of good food, good drinks and great company! [And festive modern holiday decor, like the room above!]
