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”.
