vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
As Christmas is drawing closer, most of you may already have your tree(s) up and trimmed-ready for the BIG day. And yet, there are some of you that have traditions of waiting until Christmas Eve to decorate with family and friends. I hope you can gain some inspiration with these Cottage Style Christmas Trees that I have posted throughout the years.
Sometimes it’s challenging to use what you already have.
Recently you have heard a lot about my thrifted aqua ornament find for $5. Having over 100 aqua ornaments, it’s been fun to get the creative juices going and that includes a DIY Aqua and Red Christmas Wreath.
I just really like how it turned out and the festive look for the apartment cottage front door.
Below is a simple tutorial, with a list and links for you to design your own wreath.
Last year I decorated our Christmas tree with emerald green and red. And I LOVED it. So that was the plan again this year-until…
finding over 100 aqua ornaments at the thrift store for just 5 bucks!
THAT changed my whole direction and the creative juices started flowing. My first thought was aqua and lavender. I bought a few lavender ornaments, placed them on the tree with the thrifted aqua ones. Nope, not what I wanted. It looked TOO fairy/childlike to me.
I TRIED to like it. Really, I did. The color combination just would not fit my own “style”.
