I hope you guys are ready for what is going to be a fabulous week here on coco+kelley! While last week was all about gift guides, this week will be all about entertaining! My favorite topic for the holidays. And today, we’re doing double duty by sharing a fun feature on Glitter Guide!
Hop over there this morning to see how I transformed my little apartment into the perfect setting for a holiday party! I know as well as anyone how hard it can be to gather friends when you don’t have a big house (let alone a functional kitchen) to entertain, but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible!
With a few practical tips and tricks, no matter what size your space, you’ll be sure to pick up a little advice and inspiration! You’ll see how I moved furniture around in my apartment to maximize room for guests…
And of course, lots of fun details…
So, head over to Glitter Guide to check out the feature, and a big thanks to them for having us!

You always put together the best bashes, looking gorgeous!
This looks gorgeous! I will be hosting a NYE party with the bf at his house this year, so these tips will definitely come in handy. Thanks for sharing!

Question: would you please tell me where you bought your dining chairs?
Also, is the table an oak one with a leaf that you painted black?
Thank you.
Great dress!
the dining chairs are vintage and the table is from crate & barrel – it came in the black!
Love it! I have an apartment these days, and I cannot wait to upgrade to a house, but with these tips I may be able to happily last a few more holidays!
WOW what a splash of eyecandy!!! So stylish and cool!
Love this feature! Will you be sharing how you made the silver/gold garland?
I’m going to try and squeeze in that tutorial next week!
I’m hosting a holiday party on the winter solstice for about 30 people and I’m trying to find the perfect (simple) holiday cocktail. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Hey Cathleen! I love the sound of this cocktail and I don’t think it would be too hard for only 30 people!

Love the color scheme, especially the chevron table runner! This is perfect for a holiday party without being over the top!
I loved this feature! I live in a really open studio apartment and my boyfriend thinks I’m insane for wanting to have a small holiday party for my cousins. But now I know it can totally be done. Thank you!
The brass cocktail table is gorgeous – any more details?
I am utterly obsessed with your gold rimmed plates! Are they vintage? Great inspiration for those of us with small spaces, thank you!
