I had so much fun putting this tablescape together for today's post! This year I really wanted to decorate my tree with lots of red, gold and burlap...but the Christmas decor I've collected over the past several years is red, turquoise and silver.

$5 Goodwill Challenge: Christmas Edition
I struggle with wreaths in general, but Christmas presents an additional challenge to my wreath impairment. My front door is a lovely burgundy...but it clashes with Christmas red!
