Decorating is about many things, it is about what you love, what fits into your lifestyle and it is about telling a story of who you and your family are through vignettes.
This year I am telling my story of what I love about Christmas on my buffet, side table and coffee table.
Here is my coffee table this year. Yes, more deer.
I got the reindeer at Target, with my 'cartwheel' app it was $10.00. The large tray I got sometime last year at Hobby Lobby. The silver orb is also from Target last year on sale for $5.00. I've used it in my outdoor décor and now I've brought it inside for the winter. The glass cloche is from Kirkland's. The silver and blue ornaments I had on hand and the Yankee Candle is last years as well.
Remember that layering is the key for a successful display.
I got this new little pillow at Kirkland's this year also.
My couch side table has another cute little display. A candy holding Santa, a toy stop watch, a mercury glass candle holder with a shade and a subway tile art piece that has one of my favorite Christmas saying on it.
Finally my buffet is done. Again this year I poured some Epson Salts into large glass containers and made little winter wonderlands with small houses and Christmas garden trees. They even light up!
I got some sheet music and placed it in the back of one for a special effect. This type of display is super easy to do and it looks like you took a lot of time and effort! So sweet.
I added some pine cones and to finish the buffet off, I placed my galvanized square basket in the middle, filled it with another orb and some greenery.
Gotta love the pots and pans hanging in the kitchen!
So far I am liking it and that is what decorating is all about. For me you need to try something, live with it for a few days, if you don't like it, change it!
Thanks for stopping by! Next Tuesday I'll be back sharing my dinning table all decorated for Christmas dinner; until then, BE SAFE!
