Mint & Gold Modern Christmas Tablescape

I have a secret for you. I love modern decor. The angles, geometric shapes, clean and crisp lines. I also love mint and gold color scheme. Like it’s my favorite color combination ever. One time I made my husband paint an old laminate wood desk mint green. It was a total fail. Turns out painting old laminate wood is not as easy as it looks and sealing it was even harder. It looked horrible, haha. But I lived with it for a year or so. My home, however, is rustic and farmhouse, which I love too (and still definitely a work in progress). Hence, my farmhouse table (a thrift store find – score!) and my DIY Farmhouse Benches (tutorial coming soon!). Tablescapes are a great way bring in a style that you love but don’t want to commit to permanently. Does this mean I have commitment issues?

I like to keep things thrifty over here. That “table runner”… it’s a scarf!! When putting together your holiday tables, be sure to take a walk around your home (and your closet apparently) to see what items you can pull in.

I had a hard time choosing from all of the amazing choices for place cards at Minted. I settled on the Sandstone place cards in the Celedon color. These are actually technically for a wedding, but I thought they fit in perfect for my mint & gold modern Christmas tablescape.

Those wooden chargers (& matching coasters) totally caught my eye in the Target Dollar Spot and thought they would a great way to blend my typical rustic vibe with the modern look that I was aiming for. I think I will definitely have to go grab some more before the season is over because I came across this brilliant idea recently which is totally on my (never-ending) craft to-do list now.
