During the holidays, we tend to gather around the table when visiting family and friends. Too often, though, decor is relegated to hanging on the walls. From formal meals at antique dinner tables to dessert options displayed on distressed side tables, the options provided by wooden benches, boards and bars are many and give you unlimited opportunities to wow your guests.
We visited MAK & CO., in Andover to find ways to combine holiday sweets with decor and create unique focal points for gatherings. The styles shown here aren’t just for winter — you can use similar combinations yearlong. Just don’t eat the ornaments by mistake!
