DIY Décor: Make a Christmas Centerpiece from a Wreath

A Christmas centerpiece decorates a coffee table

 

One of my favorite ways to dress my home for the holidays is to add in fresh greenery wherever I can. Of course that means putting up a Christmas tree, hanging wreaths wherever possible, and planting paper white bulbs that bloom throughout December. For something fresh this year, I decided to create a snowy tableau on my coffee table using a wreath, faux snow, and candles. If you don’t want to dress up your coffee table, this would make a lovely Christmas centerpiece for a dining room table, kitchen island, or even a console table!

DIY table cloth with Ombre

 

Add some fun table cloths to your picnic table or buffet sideboard next time you have a summer get-together. In this easy DIY project, you’ll create a rustic ombré table cloth made from burlap.

Ombré–the gradual shading of a hue– is a trending style in fashion and home décor, and this project is a fun way to add a bit of color and texture to your next outdoor party. You can complete this project in a matter of hours, but allow for plenty of drying time.

A Casual Tablesetting Idea for the Holidays and Beyond

Posted by: on December 5th, 2011 | 5 Comments

Maybe it’s because red and green just does not ‘go’ with my living room color palette or maybe it’s because I like things that multitask, but in recent years, I’ve grown tired of the same old red-and-green color combination that appears all over the place this time of year. Don’t get me wrong, I love both of these colors, I love them together, and I do love them at Christmas, some years I just want to go in a different direction with my own Christmas decor. This happens to be one of those years.

While hurrying through the parking lot of Home Depot, I spotted some bright purple-and-green ornamental cabbages that were so exquisite! The colors were vibrant and the vigorous, blooming shape of the cabbage head was so interesting and sculptural. I immediately knew that these cabbages were destined for my holiday house.

Aren’t the colors beautiful? See what I mean?
