2020 CHRISTMAS

*This is just a little sneak peek into my Christmas decor. There's plenty more to come!*

It's pretty clear this year that a lot of us are itching to pull out all of the Christmas gear! A little extra holiday cheer is completely welcomed early in our household. It takes me so much time preparing everything, so I honestly prefer to get a head start on it.

I've been pushing myself to go out of my comfort zone lately. I'm usually a neutral loving girl. It's my safe place & I know I'll never get tired of it. However, something about a bold, rich color was tugging at my heart. Time to switch things up!

I loved the idea of a classic yet modern, elegant, red Christmas. Here's what I've come up with so far..

ORNAMENTS - Of course, I don't own any red ornaments so I went on a mission looking for the perfect pieces. These deep, burgundy red ornaments caught my eye. I love the velvet with the classic pattern/shape. I found some red dangling crystals to pair them with & I knew some faux red roses would look beautiful with them as well. I found all of the red items from At Home. I won't be able to link the exact ones since it's hard to find them online, sorry friends!

CHRISTMAS TREE - My faux tree is a pre-lit Noble Fir from Anthropologie - Shop Terrain. I fell completely in love with it last year and had to have it. I love the sparse branch style. The tips are very realistic! I've become more particular about my trees as each year passes. This one ticked all of my boxes.

STAR TREE TOPPER - This one is from At Home. I love the size and classic look! It's made out of plastic and doesn't have real mirrored details, but you can't tell + it's safer this way!

TREE COLLAR - Everyone really wants to know where my tree collar is from. I got lucky one day and found it at Target from the Hearth & Hand collection. Mine was a little banged up but it didn't bother me. It isn't noticeable under the tree + I knew I wouldn't be able to find another one anywhere because it sold out very quickly. You may be able to find it at a Target in stores but it doesn't look like they're available for shipping. I'll link other options below!

Updating with this photo showing my new additions to the tree*

TREE RIBBONS - These beautiful ribbons really finished off the look of my tree! I found them after I thought I was done styling my tree. It's the perfect little detail that I didn't know I needed! Unfortunately, I won't be able to link it, but you might be able to find it at your local Home Goods!

CRYSTALS, GARLANDS, ETC - Another big question: Where are all the crystals and garlands from? They're all from a mix of different stores. You can try your luck at Hobby Lobby, CB2, At Home, Michael's, Home Goods. That's where I found all of mine in previous years. I have so many yet feel like there is never enough, so I try to pick out more whenever I come across them.

All of my other decor have been collected throughout the last few years. I've got an abundance of different Christmas trees, ornaments, crystals, garlands, tree toppers, etc. I buy some items new every year to add onto my collection. I think this is the year that my fiancé will have to build some extra storage somewhere for all of my things, haha. Our storage closet is filled to the top.

DEER - I fell in love with this piece! I bought it last year from At Home and unfortunately, it isn't available anymore.

GIFT WRAP - I haven't fully decided quite yet on my gift wrapping design. The gift boxes in the photos are just props of empty gifts with last year's wrapping. Haha! I know I can't be the only person that has faux presents under their tree as decor. I like to keep it pretty simple with just a solid color wrapping paper and bring interest with different textures of ribbon and picks.

GARLAND - This year, I searched and searched for the perfect garland for my huge dining room mirror. It had to be nice and full with realistic tips. This one is from Hobby Lobby (2 pictured above). I love the mix of eucalyptus in this one! It originally had berries in it, but I cut them off for a more simple look. I added gorgeous crystal garlands and hanging crystal ornaments, with faux roses, pinecones.. and a beautiful, velvet ribbon to complete it. 

SHELF DECOR - I finally had the time to style my built-in shelves for Christmas and I'm loving how festive it is! I haven't been able to take any official photos, so here's my little sneak peek. The little wood/metal houses, tiny trees are all from the Target dollar spot. The frames are thrifted and Home Goods filled with free printables that I found online. I filled the shelves with little ornaments as accents! The stems are from Hobby Lobby & Target and the wreath is a fun DIY project that I did inspired by my Hearth & Hand wreath!
