We are heading into the holiday season which means it’s time to start thinking about how we are going to heck our halls. This weekend was spent brainstorming lots and shopping even more…purely to gather ideas. We have taken on the the Dare to DIY challenge with Decor and the Dog, Maybe Matilda, Newly Woodwards, and Two Twenty One.
Long story even longer we had lengthy (and probably unnecessary) conversations about Christmas, color schemes, and general game planning for the holidays. Luckily Nick was totally into talking through things and shopping. I expect his enthusiasm to wane quickly once things get underway. (No offense baby.) I digress. The plan is to have a gold and cream/white Christmas with some hot pink.
We headed off to Target in search of whatever we could get into (we live dangerously around here). We found these cream gold dipped vases. The bottom is similar to West Elm’s Hive Vases. Sold.
Wait it gets better. That’s right we paid $5.98 for the large one and $5.08 for the medium one. Crazy right? Even if I wasn’t having a love affair with gold right now, I would have got these. Just too cheap for something that is so useful.
We also found these beauties. Gold polka dots. Yes please. Wait for it…
$3.88 for the large one, and $2.98 for the medium. Seriously.
If you were thinking about judging me for buying 4 gold and cream vases, remember that I need to fill the hutch in the formal dining anyway. Plus they are neutral, so they will work all year for pretty much anything.
Moral: Go to Target and buy some beautiful clearance vases (just not any Targets in DFW in case I want/need more).

I’m so excited to see what your projects and decor! I love how you’re decorating that hutch. Love it.
Thanks! I haven’t figure out much except the first challenge, so I am also excited to see what I will pull together too! The hutch should have been finished ages ago, but it’s easy to forget about it since it’s in the formal dining room. Got to get on that.
I was checking out the second set of vases the other day but didn’t buy them. Should have.
Glad you are participating in the Dare to DIY. I’m excited to see what you come up with!
Maybe they are still there and possibly cheaper! I’m glad y’all are hosting. It will be a fun way to motivate me to actually change our Christmas decor and actually make stuff!
If I ever tried to discuss color schemes for Christmas with my husband … Well, I can’t even imagine what would happen. I love the gold and cream idea. I’m also trying to bring some gold into my holidays this year. Thus, I need those vases. Off to target I go.
Thanks for joining Dare to DIY.
Haha Nick is pretty great about the talking and planning of things around here just not that pesky implementation part. He has an excuse though…you know a job and being the adult or whatever. Hope you find those vases or some good gold scores at Target! Thanks for hosting! It’s going to be fun seeing what everyone does!
Nice finds! I spotted those in my Target, debated them, and ended up buying toilet paper instead. Darn my need to buy the expensive toilet paper. My husband would never plan holiday schemes with me. His main Christmas decorating jobs around these parts are fluffing the Christmas tree branches and helping me assemble the tree.
Hey it’s all about priorities. I’m sure your bottom appreciates the good choice you made. Also there’s nothing worse than cheap toilet paper! Assembling and fluffing the tree branches have got to be the worst Christmas chores. It’s so spikey and never looks right. At least you’re not alone in that misery. You get the fun part all to yourself too!
I’m totally going to do it! I really need to make a blog post so thanks for the push
Yea! I’m so excited! Can’t wait to see what you do!
