The kids and I decorated the house for Christmas last Sunday. Well mostly I, the kids got everything out of the Rubbermaid’s, took what they wanted to play with and left me to decorate for the rest of the afternoon. It’s a good thing Christmas decorating is on my “things I love to do” list!
I though I would share with you today some pictures of my budget friendly Christmas decor. In doing so, I hope you all get inspired and start decorating your home for the Holidays.
Everything on that picture except for the chandeliers in the middle comes from the dollar store. I think I did a pretty good job decorating our mantel for about $10.
On this side of our fireplace, you have more expensive pieces but their still pretty cheap, $15 for the dears, $10 for the wooden tree and $7.99 for the wreath.
Here again, everything comes from the dollar store.
I’m better at keeping Christmas ornaments then fish! My kids would approve.
Got the chandelier lamp and silver tray at a garage sale for $1, the sparkling trees at the dollar store and I made the advent calendar myself. You can find my post on how to make a Christmas Activities Advent Calendar HERE and also 75+ Advent Calendar Activity Ideas.
Again, everything here comes from the dollar store! I guess I’m pretty cheap LOL, but why pay more when you can have a really nice Christmas decor at a really low price?
Hope you like our Christmas decorations, we sure do. Now I’m ready to start cooking, baking and wrapping gifts! I will be sharing with you later this week our outside Christmas decorations, again very affordable! So come back for a visit.

I love the gold star hanging on your mantle! And am so impressed with how cheaply you decorate for the holiday. Almost all our decorations are handed down or so old I can’t remember where I got them. Maybe it’s time to go out and find a few cute new things….

Julie says

Caroline Barnes says
Thank you so much Julie, I love the Holidays!

Looks like you did a good job decorating for a little bit of money. I have the same decorations I pull out every year from a box so I’m definitely not going to blow my budget on decorating this year. LOL
Caroline Barnes says
I do the same thing, I reuse my old decorations but I always add a bit more!
Scott says
I am so far behind, I haven’t even pulled out the box with the decorations in it. Guess I know what I’m doing this weekend!
Caroline Barnes says
This weekend we are going to cut and decorate our Christmas tree. More fun!
Caroline Barnes says
Thank you so much!
