Gathered Living
A Gathered & Found Holiday:
Slowing down, styling with soul, and creating spaces that feel like home.
The holidays have a way of calling us back to what matters—warm homes, meaningful moments, and the small, soulful details that make a space feel alive.
Here at Gathered & Found, this season isn’t about perfections or pressure. It’s about storytelling, layering textures, honoring nostalgia, and creating spaces that feel gathered with heart.
Whether you’re hosting a dinner, styling a corner of your home, or simply craving a refresh for the winter months, here’s how to infuse a season of warmth, intention, and a little vintage magic.
Start with what you already have
At Gathered & Found, we believe styling isn’t about “buying more”— it’s about seeing what’s already there in a new way. Pull out your favorite pieces: an old crock pot filled with greenery, brass candlesticks from a thrift trip, the throw blankets that have been loved for years. Give yourself permission to mix eras, textures, and stories. This is where magic lives.
Bring in nature (real or faux- no judgement here!)
There’s something grounding about bringing nature indoors during the colder months.
Try adding:
Cedar, pine, or juniper branches
Foraged pinecones
A thrifted vessel filled with winter stems
A bowl of oranges studded with cloves
A wooden board layered with greenery for your table
Instant warmth . Zero fuss.
Holiday styling is all about welcome- home textures:
Chunky knits
Linen runners
Worn leather
Soft sherpa
A stack of vintage books
Patterned pillows with a nod to winter
Think of each layer as adding depth, comfort, and soul to your home.
Let there be layers
Create one “moment that makes you smile
Not everything needs to be styled—just one intentional moment can change the feel of a whole space.
Try:
A styled console with garland, candles, and a thrifted bowl
A cozy lounge corner with pillows, a mug, and a small tree
Your dining table set simply with greenery and mismatched vintage pieces
A little goes a long way.
Mix nostalgia with modern ease
Gathered & Found styling lives in the balance between timeless vintage and modern simplicity. So yes… the old and the new belong together.
Display that vintage ornament from your grandmother next to the minimalist ceramic tree. Pair brass with matte black. Use soft white lights with thrifted garlands.
Let your home tell the story of “you”—past and present.
Simple hosting, beautiful atmosphere
Hosting doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Set the table with what you have, add a linen napkin, light a candle, throw on your favorite playlist, and let the atmosphere do the work.
People remember how the space felt—not how perfect the place settings were.
Give yourself the gift of slow
This season, allow yourself to slow down and savor the moments that matter.
A quiet morning with coffee
Laughing with your kids while decorating
Wrapping gifts with music playing
Thrifting unique treasures
Styling your home because it brings. you joy
The holidays aren’t about rushing—they’re about rooting.
Whether you’re refreshing your living room, setting up for a gathering, or dreaming up a whole holiday moment, we’re here for you.
And if you need help styling a winter corner or pulling together a cozy gathered holiday look, you already know— that’s our love language.
From our hearts and homes to yours—
Happy Holidays!
