Working Around Furniture Delays When Decorating During the Holidays

Decorating during the holidays can be an exciting way to breathe life into a chilly season. But it can also be full of pesky challenges like furniture delays! But don't get rid of anything yet… Here is how to liven up those living spaces with everything from vintage pieces to décor.

Keep It Vintage

Nothing says chic more than a fantastic vintage piece of furniture or decor. Instead of spending time and energy trying to find the perfect, brand new piece, head over to your local antique or vintage store. They're the perfect spot to find everything for your redesign without having to deal with pesky shipping costs or delays. Even better is that everything usually comes at a cost-effective price, and best of all, it is one of a kind!

When searching for vintage pieces, I usually look for classic and clean lines. These looks generally speak for themselves, as they are so classic and timeless! I love collecting old pieces that look new and modern. Take inspiration from these vintage pieces below:

Repurpose and Reupholster

Instead of getting rid of old chairs or couches, grab hold of some delicious fabric in fun patterns and textures, and go to town! Repurposing your furniture can include making new custom pillow covers, making old couches come to life, or modernizing a kitchen sink!

The holiday season is upon us, so now is the perfect time to have some fun.
