Raising the Bar
STYLE ROOM – December 2014
By Jen DeRose
’Tis the season for merrymaking. Set a modern holiday mood with a twist on the traditional palette. Lime green, cherry red, and glittering gold feels fresh, as does a slate floor arranged in a chevron pattern. Geoffrey Warner’s barstools easily glide from room to room, going wherever extra seating is needed. Whether your home bar is built in or on wheels, classic cocktails inspired by a vintage book from Rabelais are sure to be a party favorite. (Try Brunswick-based Royal Rose’s simple syrups for particularly delicious—and easy- to-make—libations.) Finally, gold-swirled glasses from Hurlbutt Designs and a gleaming, geometric bottle opener add sparkle for a party that’s festive, fun, and full of holiday cheer. Chin chin!
