Christmas 2016 Decoration Inspiration!

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Hello glitters, today I am coming at you with a new blog post. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and now it is time to kick it into gear! This post is all about decorating for Christmas! I just wanted to give you some inspiration if you haven't started the Christmas madness!

But first, I would like to let you all know my new Blog Schedule!
Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays! The posts will be up on or before 11:59 PM EST. So please check back on the specific days or subscribe to my feed to be notified when a blog post goes up! Lets get on to the good good!


Of course the main focal point of any great Christmas Décor is the tree! So this year I went to Target and purchased a 6ft pre lit tree which you can purchase BUY TREE. For the tree and my overall theme I really wanted to stick with gold, silver and small pops of white and red! I also wanted to be a little simplistic and I tried to not over crowd my tree with a ton of ornaments.

 Above you can see that I have wrapped my tree in white and gold tinsel and I overlapped them. I also then adorned my tree with large gold glitter snowflakes and small white, iridescent snowflakes. I had the gold snowflakes previously, but I just purchased a package of the small snowflakes. I also purchased the white deer head topper just this year as well. Both the topper and the white snowflakes were purchased from Walmart.

Here is a close up of that topper. If you don't know I am obsessed with deer, it doesn't matter if it is Christmas or just the middle of March. I just want them in my house at all times! I think they are so beautiful and feminine.

These three ornaments were all purchased from Target last year and they no longer sell the same style. But the reason for the E and the Z ornaments is because of my initial and my boyfriends initial. They are large white round ornaments with a gold shimmer letter in the script font. They are timeless and they add just a little extra something special to our tree! The first ornament that says 'Noel' were also purchased from Target last year and I absolutely love these! I wish I would've purchased more. I also have a couple others in 'Merry' & 'Joy'. This year they do have a similar ornament except they are not in cursive and they are plain white. CLICK HERE TO CHECK THEM OUT!

Here are just a couple of close ups of the tree and an overall view of the finished product!

Moving onto my FAVORITE spot in my apartment! Which is my coffee bar, which of course if you're knew I am obsessed with coffee too...so this works out great! This just give this a moment of silence to just look at this beauty!

I think why I love this space so much is because it is so esthetically appealing with the red and the gold with a hint of silver!

Here is a close up shot, starting out the two felt gingerbread men are handmade by me! I made them last year for my Chinchillas to have in their stockings. Also please don't mind the gift cards, I just forgot they were sitting there when I took the pictures and they just blended right in! For the little candy canes you see in the gold mug, those were purchased from Pottery Barn last year! They are metal and just so dainty, plus they hand of the side of your cup!

I have these red and gold 'Merry Christmas' stir sticks that I purchased from Target this year in the One Spot section. I have them in a perfume holder from Bath & Body Works a few years ago.

I also added these cute ceramic red teaspoon 'spoons'. I use these to scoop out coffee and for looks too. These were purchased from Walmart last year and they have them this year too!

This table runner definitely pulls everything together. It has a beautiful plaid reindeer that is lined with gold beads. It is also a beige background and lined with a plaid ruffle edge! Which also pulls together the living space. This was purchased from TJ Maxx last year as well.

The next space is my desk area, where I am sitting right now! It's not much but it just adds a magical touch.

Here is just a quick overview of my desk area. To the left of the picture I have my wreath I started working on last year and I finally finished just this year. I added the gold 'Merry Christmas" sign to it. then to the left  I put a silver mercury reindeer votive that I purchased last year from Walmart.

Here are a couple of close up shots of these two items that I have sitting in my desk space.

Just to the left of my desk area, I have a wax melt that I just purchased this year in Amish Country. This is so cute because it will work all year round for my personally and the scents I have been melting are to die for!

Each scent I have sitting next to the warmer at all times. I have 3 Christmas scents that I have been melting so far. The first one is if you love something a little sweet and tiny hint of pine. It is called Scarlet Cypress Wreath. It has a sweet scent of cranberries and then a tiny hint of the pine wreath! BUY SCARLETT CYPRESS MELT The third favorite I have been using is the Perfectly Pine scent. It just is a huge smell of a pine tree, basically like you have a real tree in your house! BUY PERFECTLY PINE MELT The last one I have been melting is called Christmas Morning Latte. This is just a very mocha kind of smell with some sweetness. BUY CHRISTMAS LATTE MELT


Next I would love to show you where my stockings are hung by the chimney with care! But not really by a chimney...lol!

Here is just an overview of my entertainment system. I have my stockings hung to the side of the TV and above the TV. I also have my gold reindeer I purchased from Target last year and we have it up all year. I also have my wooden white sleigh that is lined with fur. I have stuffed some fake presents in their but you can see them. I also have some greenery along the top but that is always there.

Here is a close up of the reindeer pulling the sleigh if you will. Also my stockings on the left and right were purchased from Target last year. The little red ones were all handmade by my mom. Thanks mom!! I love them

Now these are just a couple of small spots that have a little Christmas cheer. My 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas' sign was purchased from the Dollar Tree and I love it! The bottom picture features my 'Treats From Santa Paws' ceramic canister that houses Hazel's (my kitty's) food in. Next to that is the Glade Apple Cinnamon Room Spray which smells amazing!

Just around the bar window I have hung my extra gold tinsel around the perimeter of the window to add some pizazz.

The next little bits and bobs are actually just little candle holders I have sitting around the house.

In these candle holders I have stuffed them with scented pinecones and the white snowflakes that I had left over from the trees. As well as a couple of small ornaments I used last year on my smaller white tree. Also the champagne glitter reindeer you see in this picture and above the coffee bar are also from the Dollar Tree.

Here is just an accent pillow I purchased last year from TJ Maxx.

This is where the coffee bar ties in with the living space of my apartment. This pillow has the matching plaid pattern from the runner and this pillow is extremely cozy and soft!

I also wanted to share with you my favorite Christmas books to read and look through during the holiday season. Even if it is catered for kids, I don't care! CLICK HERE TO BUY Gingerbread Baby and CLICK HERE TO BUY The Wild Christmas Reindeer. They have stunning illustrations and kids love these books!

The last Christmas spot in the house, which was also done last minute is in the entry way.

I got this wall shelf from Target, which my mom gave to me when we moved. I set my new silver snowflake art that I purchased from Walmart this year and I love this! I also stuffed the shelves with scented pinecones, small ornaments and left over snowflakes. I have also laid the gold beads I purchased last year for my tiny tree we had the previous year.
