christmas: part two

Can you believe Christmas is almost two weeks away? I can't and I don't want Christmas to be here just yet. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas but I am really enjoying my holiday decor and once Christmas has come and gone, I know it will be time to retire my holiday decor until next year. There is just something about Christmas decor that makes your house feel so cozy and inviting. Honestly, if it was acceptable to have a Christmas decor up all year long, I totally would.

The first space that I wanted to share with you is my living room. Although I already shared a few photos of my Christmas tree in my last post, I had to share some more photos now that I finally finished wrapping presents. I feel like the Christmas presents really tie everything together. Plus, I just want more excuses to show off my beautiful Christmas tree. If you are considering buying a flocked tree, please read my last post before you spend $150+ on a new tree. It is easier than it looks, I promise.

I really can't get enough of the little bottle brush trees this year. They're super cute and I got a pack of 5 at Target for $3 so naturally, I went a little crazy. I can't link the smaller ones because they aren't on Targets website but I will link the larger sized bottle brush trees.

I bought some fake snow and put it in the cloche with the little tea light house and two bottle brush trees. The tea light houses are another one of my favorites this year. I got them at Target for $3 each. They're not online, but I did link something similar from Pier 1. bottle brush trees // target fake snow // target tea light house // pier 1 cloche // kohl's

I love these snowy mason jars and guess what? I made them! I was looking for some DIY projects on Pinterest and found these and instantly fell in love. They were really easy to make, too! All you need is epsom salt, tacky glue and glitter and you can dress them up how you want.

Although, I found a lot of cute pillows that were a lot more christmassy, I wanted to keep it more on the neutral side. I found this antler pillow at Target and it was exactly what I had in mind. I found the green pillow at TJ Maxx and added it in for some contrast. The pillows aren't online, but I did link something similar. I found the throw on Wayfair and bought it during their Black Friday sale. If you know me, you know that I love anything with tassels. My husband is convinced that I'm crazy because every time I buy something with tassels, they end up half eaten thanks to my sweet dogs. They're lucky that they're cute. I bought the mini tree at TJ Maxx for $24.99 and I flocked it and wrapped fairy lights around it. antler pillow // target green pillow // kohl

You may recognize the wooden tray from my blog post in fall. It transitioned it over to Christmas and it honestly may stay after the holidays, too. I love this wooden tray from Hobby Lobby. It is a must have! I wanted a variety of textures so I started with a garland from Michaels and added in two pine branches. I then added an antler and a few ornaments and of course, vase fillers. garland // michaels pine branch // michaels antler // michaels

The next area that I wanted to share with you all is my kitchen table. I kept going back and forth between flocking the faux pine branches or leaving as is, but in the end I decided to leave it as it is. I was really happy how realistic these pine branches looked and I didn't want to do anything that could take potentially take away from that. I bought the pine branches from Lucketts so I can't link them. candlestick holders // target table runner // target

I hope you all enjoy, happy holidays! p.s. here is a cute Christmas picture of my dogs.
