In with the Old and New

December 4, 2016

I LOVE decorating for the holidays! I can’t get enough of the beautiful lights, the glitter, the candles—everything! But it can be hard to afford the look you want when there are so many other things you have to put your money towards during the Christmas season. Since I’m on a very strict budget these days I decided to keep things simple this year.

Target is one of the best places to shop for inexpensive decor that doesn’t look cheap. I found some nice pieces that would go well with what I already had and vuala, my space had the exact feel I wanted!

I’ve never been much of a color person, not just with clothing but with decor too. I tend to gravitate towards a light and clean look with a pop of color on occasion, but that is a rare occurrence. Since I already had this gorgeous white christmas tree with gold branches I decided to stick with that theme (which happened to fit perfectly with my faux fur blanket that I got for my birthday!) As I mentioned above, Target is a great place to find decor! I just stopped in to see if I could find anything I liked and found SO much that I had a hard time deciding what to take home with me. I found the cute little gold dusted wooden tree for only $11.00 in the Christmas section! The festive plates and lights are sold in the dollar section and cost under $10 all together, can’t beat that! And lets talk about the candle…that thing smells SO good! It’s scent is cranberry teak, I can’t even describe how delicious it is…I light it any chance I get! The best part about this candle is that it isn’t overwhelming. I get headaches easily so most candles, even though they smell fantastic, are too strong after a while. And lastly, to complete this little display I wanted to find a small and simple candy dish, and that is exactly what I found. The white marble dish is sold in the home decor section and I can use it after the holidays as well!

If you are in need of any last minutes pieces for your Christmas decor start by looking at what you already have and try to fit a few small items in that match it. There is nothing better than mixing the old and the new to create a unique and beautiful look for the holidays. It’s a lot easier to build upon what you already have then it is to start all over, plus it makes the display a little more meaningful!

Have a great holiday beauties! And as always, leave a comment below with any questions you might have!
