I wanted to share some of my Christmas decorating, and some tips for low/no cost projects.
As I said before, twinkle lights- so cheap, easy, and instantly make everything more festive. I even used them in the kitchen.
This little tree was something new I tried this year. I simply got some branches from the backyard, spray-painted them white, stuck them in a vase, and decorated.
Wrap stuff up- I'm sure I am not the first to do this, but seriously, this is probably the easiest thing you can do. I used scraps of fabric for this little bundle of packages. It is 2 empty boxes and a book. haha- Rob was concerned about what book, but I assured him he won't be needing it between now and Christmas. And of course, frames on the wall. I tried something a little different this year- brown paper packages...
I took this card display idea from an old Domino issue....ooooh Domino! How I miss you!!
It is an easy, creative way to display Christmas cards. And it is great because every day you can add to it and change it if you need to. This large bulletin board cost under $10 at Target and then you can either use wrapping paper or fabric to cover. I used paper.
Still LOVE this Christmas banner, an Etsy purchase from last year.
Sparkle on the dining room buffet
Of course, festive, new pillow covers
Also, don't hesitate to change/put away furniture if you need to accommodate a tree or whatever, especially if you have a small space. Our living room chair is up in the closet (soon to be office) for the time being and we had to move the small dresser from next to the sofa.
Hope you are enjoying this Christmas season and able to take some time to slow down from all the hustle!
