A Moody Wine Cellar-- Perfect Inspiration for Holiday Hosting Ideas...

The Art of The Table...
Tis The Season To
Take Inspiration from This Warm, Cozy 
Wine Cellar for Your Holiday Entertaining!
It's that time of year-- when a warm fireplace sets the perfect stage for dinner-- some beautiful tall, tapered lit candles (and, if you are fortunate to have such a gorgeous silver candelabra) and a beautifully set table is just about the best idea on a cold evening.  

Christofle knows how to bring that very special style-- over at the annual Holiday House Designer Showhouse we were intrigued by Tanya Zaben's wine cellar where she worked hand-in-hand with Christofle to outfit this moody wine/dining cellar. Christofle is known for their silver flatware and home accessories.  The company is based in France and founded in 1830 by Charles Christofle.  Today, their product offerings are vast from crystal to dinnerware.  Impressively, the space was featured in Vogue last month.  The Holiday House interior design showhouse is closed now after a lovely showing during the pre-holiday season, and in case you missed it, please take a look at this beautiful nook...
see Christofle's gorgeous wares for yourself by visiting two New York City locations:

Happy Nesting
