As I find myself decorating my new apartment for the holidays, and my up-coming book club meeting.  I start to wonder what items would really add to my home and help make the festivities feel more welcoming.  A few items of course come to mind, some new blankets or new accent pillows.  However, one in particular sticks out to me, a decanter.  By definition it is an ornamental glass bottle that holds wine, brandy, whiskey, etc.  Now this is not an item that you would normally see on the shelf of any generic store.  It is somewhat like a scavenger hunt to find one that appeals to your taste and style.  Throughout the course of the last few months I have seen them in television shows such as: Gossip Girl, Revenge, Scandal, and many others.

Now I am a woman who enjoys a glass of wine, or whiskey on the occasion and instead of having regular bottles that have labels of all different colors and textures that might not necessarily add to my homes aesthetic appeal, I would rather have something more... classy, and elegant.  There are many places to find decanters such as:  Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, even places on the other end of the spectrum such as TJ Maxx and Target.  So as I decorate my home I hope that this has inspired you to do the same... Happy Holidays and Happy Hunting!
