Christmas Sneak Peak & Simple Christmas Centerpiece
I contemplated changing the theme of my Christmas decor this year, but instead of trashing the entire theme ( that I have spent the last five years building) I decided to add a couple fresh new pieces and then find ways to make the old things re-inspire me. Now that I am done decorating, I am so glad that I didn’t completely start over. I just love the way it turned out! I’ll be sharing a full home tour and going into more detail than you probably want to know later this month, but for now, I wanted to start small and show you one of my favorite re-purposed designs this year, using decorations I already had and making them into something new.
Here is my simple Christmas centerpiece for the coffee table:
I took a serving tray, a reindeer, ( I bought the lime green/red pick seperately and just attached it to the deer to add some pizazz) & put that all in the tray, along with a silver candlestick. Then I just filled the bottom of the tray with leftover ornaments and pinecones! & it is as simple as that.
You can use whatever you want in the tray and get creative! As you start sifting through your holiday decorations, look for a shorter larger piece that can take up a good majority of the tray, then look for taller pieces that can add dimension ( candlesticks, trees etc.) and then surround it with leftover ornaments. I’ve seen some tall, skinny Christmas trees at hobby lobby that would be a nice touch! P.S. The candle is my absolute FAVORITE Christmas candle . It makes the whole house smell like a toasted S’more.
Hot Cocoa break with Lambeau! (I was paying so much attention to the centerpiece, he thought there was something really good on top of the coffee table!)
Thank you for stopping by! Y’all stay tuned for the full Christmas tour, should be up next week.
Happy Christmas Decorating!

This S'more cookie tastes like you are out camping. They have a perfect roasted marshmallow flavor, then the melted chocolate and crunch from the graham cracker. Everything you love about s'mores but it's a cookie.
Hope you all are having a great Summer! I wanted to share with you my Lemonade Themed Summer Wreath that I made for my front door this Summer. Even though it is mid-July, it is not too late to make this wreath. You can leave it up through all of August too (plus the Summer decor is most likely all on sale!)
Usually when shopping for my friends and fam, I tend to be a "one for you & one for me" kind of shopper and I end up spending my entire Christmas budget and my husband never has anything left to surprise me. This year, I decided to break the cycle and not buy myself anything in December. (Besides Christmas decorations, I just can't help myself.) Anyways, I say all of this to tell you that I have had to be creative this month to keep from buying myself what I like to justify as "Christmas Outfits." So, here are my favorite, go-to staple pieces for December!
