11/13/2023 0 Comments Navy and silver christmas tree![]() I like to stick to classic or simple colors that I can use year after year, so this typically means I stick to white or metallics, like silver and gold. I found these wood snowflakes at our local dollar store and decided to leave them as they were for a simple and natural look and just propped them up on the branches of the tree.Įach year, I usually add a few new baubles to my collection. To give the tree a bit of a whimsical feel, I always like to add a few large-scale decorations to our tree. Then I added in a few flocked branches to give it more of a snowy look. ![]() I started by adding gold mesh and burlap ribbon to give it some fullness and texture. And because of that, I wanted it to feel cohesive with these spaces so I decided to decorate it using metallics for a hint of sparkle and a few touches of navy and natural wood tones. Our tree sits proudly between our open concept dining room and living room, and it can be seen from every room on our main floor. As soon as I let go of those confines everything seemed to fall into place…starting with our Christmas tree. But my husband knows me pretty well, he knew I was struggling with my decision and he suggested I go back to square one and focus on what I am comfortable with – neutrals with that little hint of blue I love so much.Īnd he was right. It was just decor, so I was determined to stick it out. I felt silly…I had put so much thought into decorating our home and purchased quite a few new things. But after an entire morning of getting nowhere, my husband Nick finally asked me what I was doing. So I tried to push past it and continue decorating our home as I had set out. I thought the pillows were jarring against our cream couch, and the garland felt childish. It was all coming together and I was loving each new item I purchased.īut when the day came to finally decorate our home, I felt unsure. I started collecting a few things here and there red and navy tartan pillows, red and white felt ball garland, cream napkins with a red ticking stripe. I wanted a traditional Christmas for our little one and I wanted it to feel fun and casual, nothing too fussy. So I thought about it and decided this was the year I would decorate our home in red and white. I would be scrolling through Pinterest or flipping through a magazine and stop in my tracks when I came across a home beautifully decorated for the Christmas season in crisp whites and pops of red.Įach one looked so festive, happy and bright. I find them soothing and relaxed, and most importantly, I am familiar with them.īut suddenly I had a change of heart. ![]() These are the colors I am naturally drawn to. I was imagining a soft and inviting palette of whites and indigo and navy blues, with a few natural wood accents mixed in. We had recently completed some major changes in our living room and dining room. I was eager to decorate these new spaces for the holidays. Long before we had even gathered for Thanksgiving I was envisioning our holiday decor. I have a little story I want to share with you about how our holiday decor came about this year and the lesson I learned about always trusting your instincts. So I start thinking about colors and themes for our decor and planning holiday recipes we’d like to try. Once Thanksgiving has passed (as Canadians our Thanksgiving always falls much earlier than our American friends), I am ready to completely embrace the holiday season.
