Give me tinsel, give me drama and give me a little bit tacky!
Christmas decorations aren't meant to be boring, right? I feel like it kind of has to border on a bit tacky and this year I was like let's throw everything together and see how it looks.
Spoiler: I kind of love it.
I bought a ton of tinsel garland trim that was meant for costumes and hung it around the entire living room and boy it was a task but I love the way it turned out. It reminds me a bit of a retro 1960's Christmas set up. It's a lot but it just sparkles and shines. ALSO I love the look of tinsel but I hate how wasteful it is and I get to reuse these over and over again! So, sassy and a bit sustainable.
I also tried my hand at diying some floating candles along with floating disco balls. Not as hard as I had imagined it would be to do and shockingly they stayed. I love the idea of floating candles with a bit of sparkle from disco ball ornaments hanging from the ceiling. Just a bit of scotch tape and fishing line and you're good to go!
Since we were going the borderline tacky route I was like what about the tinsel curtains I have in my studio for backdrops. I hung them around the windows and the way the light reflected off of them during the day was nothing short of magical.
I didn't buy any new ornaments this year but the globes we've had for what seems like forever paired with the 100's of different sized and colored disco ball ornaments we've collected over the last few years. Note: Disco Ball Ornaments make great tablescape decor ideas. I love them on plates (below)!
