Ikea Haul-Holiday

I like getting to Ikea early (early to mid October is the best time) and checking out the new holiday merchandise before it gets too picked over and sold out.

This idea for making a Christmas tree in a small space on a tiny budget is also renter friendly. All you need is a box or two of ornaments and some Command hooks to make a "wall" tree. 

This wasn't a holiday purchase but it was steal. The Sanela burgundy velvet curtains were marked down to $19.99 for a pack of two panels (from $69.99!)  I couldn't resist and bought two packs for our  master  bedroom.  With  our dark navy walls,  it feels so warm and cozy in there now and they are super room darkening when they are pulled shut.

They are REALLY long so I used my curtains as a guide for cutting them down. 

I'm using my No-Sew Hem Technique to hem them.

I always stock up on tea lights at Ikea and I also picked up a Pumpkin Spice candle and a Winter Spice candle. 

The red and white print napkins go with my kitchen holiday colors.  I also got the tea light holder houses. They should look cute lined up in a glowing row. I also snagged my favorite gingerbread cookies. I use them in a garland to decorate my kitchen window. They add a homespun look to the garland and smell like Christmas!

I love these mini spoons for dessert and a fresh new cutting board is always nice to splurge on.

I always like to check out the wrapping paper, ribbon and gift tags when I'm at Ikea.  I'm not sure what my theme will be this year but this blue plaid paper  came home with me (it doesn't scream holiday so I know I'll use it no matter what!)
