So, I'm totally slacking on posting and skipped a couple holidays! So ashamed!! But for now, I'm going to share the Christmas decorating that I've worked on so far. My big tree is decked out in my favorite color (turquoise!) with accents of royal blue and bright green. I'm pretty happy with it for my first attempt.
Since the tree is in my front room - dining/living room - I continued the color scheme to my table and shelves.
I spray painted some pretty wood reindeer I got at Hobby Lobby (which FYI they finally opened in So California - hooray!!) and placed them with a couple acrylic reindeer from Kohl's.
The turquoise tree is really just a yarn wrapped cardboard cone - so easy!
The turquoise chargers came from Target ($1.99 each - love that!) and the clear plates were from Dollar Tree...a bargain! My mom gave me the white tablecloth and napkins. I don't remember where I got the snowflake placemats in the center of the table since they're from a few years back, but the silver placemat on top of them is from ZGallerie.
Oh, and can't forget my plastic margarita glasses - just threw a couple strands of curling ribbon in them & I think they add some extra sparkle to the table.
The snowflakes hanging from the chandelier (which I got for $39 at Home Depot - marked down from $139...awesome!!) came from Wal-Mart in the crafts section. They're foam and both the white and aqua came in the same pack so I just stuck a couple of each color together & hung them.
As for my shelves, I just used some Christmas items, and then gathered up miscellaneous items from around the house that went with the color scheme.
The Christmas tree on the mirror came from Dollar Tree, the turquoise sleigh on the left is from Tai Pan, The silver reindeer are ornaments from Hobby Lobby, and the other items I had on hand.
I'm still adding little touches here and there but overall, I'm pretty happy with the results. Thanks for checking it out! =)
