Christmas Decor: Table Centerpieces

Last weekend I helped in decorating a couple of tables for our church school Christmas program. Here are some pictures for you guys. 

The red and gold theme came from our chirstmas tree decorations. This is what I'd call decorating on a budget. All the decorations are actually ornaments, even the "runner" which it happens to be snow flakes, then on top I added different sizes of sphere ornaments.
On the first set up I added a deer and two gold pine cones from Target. I also decided to add a candle in the middle of it, in case they needed to turn the lights off during the program. As you can see, the second set up it's very similar. I had this gold decor piece at home from few years back that I almost spray painted white, I'm glad I didn't though. I think I got it at a thrift store somewhere in GA. I also added a candle inside it.
All these different ornaments can be purchased at any dollar store. Adding a runner contrasting the table cloth can make it extra special!

Living Room: Pop of Color

I'm trying to bring the mustard and orange colors pop out from the pillows in a cohesive way. I'm still in the process of making this living room complete, but this is how it's starting to look so far. I now have moved this sofa few times, trying to arrange the furniture in a way that will be useful and at the same time will go well in our small space.
 Lately, I've also been looking through pinterest pinning my favorite living room decor, and adding ideas to my boards. There are different way to decorate all the other rooms in the house, although my house is small in size, I'm aiming for it to be big in style.

Decoration On Budget

Ok so I'm working the "wreath" project and I'm mastering this thing like a pro I must say. However, I'm on a budget and I don't have more money to be buying extra stuff.. 

So what do I do? I turn to nature! There are lots and lots of pine cones outside now and I have some gold mesh left over from the burlap wreath I made earlier. 

I love!

 tray:Target (via DC)

I got this tray for less than two dollars at DC when I was still in school few months back. As soon as I saw it, not only did the price got my attention but, I knew what I wanted to do.. unfortunately with all of what school involves; studying, exams, late nights etc.. etc.. I hadn't had the time to do anything with it until recently. 

So, here you have it! 

The paper I used is actually cabinet paper liner! this is a super cute and cheap way to upgrade a decorating piece!
