A Very Modern Holiday: Part 2

Last week we talked about modernist trees & ornaments. Today is more of a hodgepodge of decorating ideas--candlesticks, wreaths, lights, etc.

Bubble lights are a staple in decorating if you going with a retro theme. I don't have a particular place that I've seen these but you can find authentic ones floating around on eBay and other websites, plus there are newly-designed Bubble Lights available. NOMA was one of the first companies that rolled these out and they became wildly popular in the late 1940's.

notNeutral Small Frosty Snowflake Garden Stakes from AllModern, $37.99: I'm a fan of decorating outside as well but I tend  not to go over the top -  you can't see my home from space or anything!  I think these would be a perfect addition to any garden or walkway - they give off that modern feel during the wintertime.

Alessi Christmas Cowboy Statuette by Massimo Giacon on AllModern, $42: I love finding quirky decorations to display on various tables and shelves throughout my house. While I love some of my older and more traditional decorations, I also enjoy finding something that makes a good conversation piece. There were a few others on the site but this one was my favorite!

Mod White Wreath on WingardHome: This is the wreath to go for if you want to get away from your traditional pine and holly wreaths. I think the best thing about this wreath is that it could really be displayed  all year wrong. It's just so hip and I adore it. It has since sold out, but here is a great post on how to DIY.

Loop Candelabra at The Jewish Museum Shop, $30: Modernism  contributor Judy Polan pointed out these modernist Shabbos candlesticks to us and we agree that these are fabulous. So unique! They also have gold plated ones available.

Jonathan Adler Hexagon Menorah on Modern Tribe, $295: Modern Tribe had a few pages of unique and modern menorahs.  One that really stood out to me was this one. I love the colors (reminiscent of Tiffany blue?)  and the shape. Each piece can be separated so you can shape it however you'd like.


Tomorrow I will be wrapping up this series of my favorite modernist holiday decorating pieces! I'd love to hear about your favorite modern lights, wreaths, outdoor decor, etc. How do you bring a modernist slant into your Hanukkah?
