Home for the Holidays: Becca Casey Shares a Peek Inside Her Connecticut Home's Decorations and Her Top Tips for Hosting New Year's Eve

Ayr Barns and Becca Interiors founder, Becca Casey welcomes us into her home amidst the excitement of the holiday season to show a peek into how she decorated her 1950's Provencial-inspired Connecticut Country House. 

In the spirit of the season, Becca shares her top five quick tips for making your New Year's Eve celebrations more memorable.

Tip #1. Create an amazing playlist to soirée your guests into the wee hours. I love to start off with smoother jazz as guests arrive and end the night with songs that make you kick off your heels and sing!

Tip #2. Whether a large or small party, passed canapés and cheese boards are always a delight. 

Consider a few our favourite recipes from the INSPIRE blog for Slow Roasted Pear Chips or Seeded Crackers with Chili and Tomato Jam!

Tip #3. Have your guests write down their intentions and aspirations for the New Year, then ask them to share with the group.

Tip #4. Set the mood and let the room sparkle with candlelight throughout. Small 3" votives dotted throughout the room will twinkle as you welcome in the New Year.

Tip #5. In more recent years, I have found myself pouring our midnight toast into a dazzling coupe glass. I love the old-time elegance that they bring to the evening.

Wishing you all wonderful celebrations and a special New Year! Becca xx
