Our place is more minimal and modern looking, and decorated in rich neutral colors (buttercream, natural cherry wood, cocoa brown, white, and espresso). I don't like to add a lot of Christmas decoration because it can feel cluttered, and I don't like the traditional red and green in our space. It kind of clashes with our whole "theme", so I'm doing Christmas this year in pink and brown.
The tree is up! All the ornaments on the tree are pink, gold, and brown, and the tree skirt I made from chocolate colored satin. I made my husband a brown stocking, while I will have a pink one (as will Emma!). (I'm not done with them yet...) I bought gift wrap in pink and brown patterns, and got some plain brown paper and raffia to mix in with pink accents for under the tree.
Sure, it'a little non-traditional, but I like it and it still feels like Christmas to me! |
