Create a Winter Centerpiece with Thrift Store Finds

The home "halls" have been decked for Christmas and over the next week I will share my holiday home with you. I didn't completely change up my decor this year, but restyled what I have and added bits and pieces of new finds. Blues, greens, and whites are my color scheme. I am incorporating a lot of natural and organic elements such as pine branches and pinecones and warm light. Let's start with my dining table centerpiece.

Just about everything you see has been thrifted! Only the blue ribbon, the fairy lights, and the gold candle cups in the green glasses were purchased brand new. I found this antique, European wood sled last year at a favorite local thrift store and bought it instantly. I love the height it adds and the warm wood tones.

I placed the sled on a thrifted blue and brown plaid runner that also has bits of yellow and rusty red running through it. A pine garland that is sparse runs around and through the sled.

I used all kinds of thrifted, faux, pine stems to create the pine bouquet. I arranged the stems in a 99 cent, brass pot and added a blue ribbon and fairy lights on a timer. A thrifted, Putz style church sits in front on the wood sled. It does have lights, but I need to get a battery for it. 

A pair of green glasses that I turned into candlesticks with the addition of gold candle cups complete the centerpiece, adding height and candlelight. 

This thrifted centerpiece will most likely grace my table through the winter months. Remember these key elements to create a visually appealing vignette: varying heights, repeat colors, elements, and textures, use something natural (or natural looking), [lace objects on something to ground them, use unique items that you love!
