Budget friendly holiday decor

Decorating for the holidays should be a festive time, not a stressful one!

It’s always fun looking through the pages of a magazine or even perusing the endless clicks of Pinterest looking for the newest decorating trends. Not just in every day decor, but also when it comes to decorating for the holidays. This year I challenged myself to kick things up a notch, but in a more budget friendly way.

Hoop wreaths

A few months ago I took a solo dream trip to IKEA and on my way out stumbled upon these adorable hoop wreaths.

The price was right for the wreath, but I wanted to make it my own.

I picked up 5 of the wreaths, took off the red flowers and replaced them with stems from Hobby Lobby I liked better. I found weathered letters in the Target Bargain bin to spell what I think many of us need,  “PEACE”, and hung it in my office. Total cost of this project, $35 for the three hoops.

Inexpensive way to make a huge impact.

Watch how I made the hoops here:

Gift Bag Pictures

Walking around the Walmart holiday section, I stumbled upon these super cute gift bags and instantly an idea popped into my head, what if I used them in as a part of my decor. The total cost between the two gift bags was $5.00.

Gift bags from Walmart make the perfect home decor.

And not just any part of my decor, but in picture frames I already use in my space.

This super cute gift bag is a great addition to the space.
Plenty of space for storage and display.

Last but not least, I used pre-knitted yarn from Hobby Lobby to create a unique Garland for our Christmas tree. It took two skeins at $13 a piece.


I took 8 strands of yarn that was a the size of the tree and about a half to create this criss cross look.

The tree is ready for our family ornaments.

 

Updating our home for the holiday’s didn’t cost a ton, and it still feels very festive. I love how everything turned out and my office is so cozy!

The perfect work space and place to put the tree.

Hope that you found a little inspiration to add to your space!

XOXO,
Brooke

This week not only was spring break for my girls, This week not only was spring break for my girls, but also the anniversary of my mom’s passing. I repotted the plant I kept from her funeral and already it looks so much better. I’ve been trying to keep busy with spring cleaning, purging, and packing, but apparently life didn’t feel like that was enough. Last night we had a trip to the Emergency Vet after Jojo came in contact with weed killer, you can see her resting on our bed. Needless to say it’s a little slow and quiet today while she rests and we watch her.  Besides that and all that’s going on in the world, it’s so hard not to be in a giant funk. What’s your plans for the weekend?? I need to get some great ideas to turn this struggle bus into a party boat!

Nothing brings me more joy than answering questions or teaching another person about tools. They’ve been the gateway to my future. 💕

Grief is such a tumultuous journey. Facebook memor Grief is such a tumultuous journey. Facebook memories are a double edge sword. 10 years ago and 2 years ago this very week, both of my parents were handed a cancer diagnosis. My father lived for another 14 months, my mom only 3 weeks. Last year we had planned to be away for the one year anniversary of my moms passing, but instead a pandemic had other plans.  It’s all taken a toll on me mentally and physically. At times left me very unmotivated and completely distracted.  I’ve learned to give myself grace and each day is another opportunity to have a fresh start.  But y’all it’s hard. So if you see me dip in and out, that’s why. Most days my focus has just been on Court and the girls and that’s all I got. And that’s ok, but I also like to keep it real.  I know we all go through bad times, hard times, but I’m here to tell you you’re not alone and I see you. All the love. 💕

If I didn’t do this space myself I would argue this isn’t even the same place. 🍀
