…holiday tea – turquoise

December 3, 2014 by christen | 3 Comments

When throwing any type of party I like to start with a color. Last year I decorated with classic greens, reds and golds. I used red cranberries, green burlap, gold Christmas balls and strings of beads.

Here are some pix from last year.

It was so much fun! This year I wanted to be a bit more playful and use the color that I have all over my home – turquoise.

I bought turquoise balls from Target, blue burlap ribbon and dug out all my blue ornaments. I also took out  my Duck Egg Blue paint and paintbrush.

I painted a little serving table, birdcages and shutters.

    Love the turquoise and duck egg blue Christmas decor. I started using blues and gold last year to coordinate with the colors in my house. I may even use gold chargers with blue and white dishes on the table this year. 🙂

    Your decor form last year was beautiful. I am loving the idea of silver and turquoise! Everything you have painted looks so pretty. I am crushing over those birdcages, gorgeous!
