A copper Christmas
This is the 5th year I’ll be changing up my Christmas color scheme! One of these years I’ll repeat the past (silver & gold, pinks, all white, traditional red & green), but not this year! I knew I wanted to do something a little more neutral, but wasn’t sure what direction to go. Then I saw this copper tree collar from Target and it sparked the whole design!
I’m absolutely in love with how it all turned out, even if it is late in the season. I’d normally have decorated in late November, but we just moved into our new house the day before Thanksgiving! It’s been busy around here to say the least.
There was the normal hassle of just unpacking everything, but also taking the time to order and wait for new furniture. We came with a one bedroom condo worth of stuff and now have a three bedroom house to fill. I’m so excited to start building the home I’ve always dreamed of and plan to share a lot of my ideas and projects on how I plan to customize it!
The house definitely needs a lot of TLC in the cosmetics department. The first thing we did was give our closets and fresh coat of paint before putting our clothes in. I’m so glad I at least started sourcing holiday decor starting in October!
Target also had these ornaments as well as these ones that went with the tree collar. To the mix I added ornaments from Walmart and Hobby Lobby. I wanted a nice assortment of finishes and sizes to give the tree an organic and slightly vintage look.
I think my favorite thing I added however and these copper bows! I bought two rolls of this $3 ribbon, cut them into strips then tided then on the tree. They really complete the look!
Target has a lot of other great copper accents to round out my whole look, like these metal trees and this adorable letters to Santa box that I put on top of my mantel. The copper lanterns fit in perfectly too and I can reuse them in the summer and fall!
I went with a simple vignette for my coffee table decor. This gold tray with be another year round staple, but this candle brought the scent of Christmas into our home!
I definitely plan on going a lot bigger next year when I’ve have more time to expand to other areas of the house! I hope you enjoyed this years color scheme - comment your guess for next years!
