DIY Black and White Ornaments

The kitchen remodel is done, so now I can start turning all my focus onto CHRISTMAS!!! I won’t start fully decorating for a bit, but I have started crafting a few things. I make one new set of handmade ornaments every year and this year I made some DIY Black and White Ornaments with a modern grid pattern. They took no time at all and only 3 supplies!

Let them dry and tie a little ribbon around the top. I opted for a pop of emerald but a deep red, eggplant or even black would look great!

Modern Grid Ornaments

Minimalistic approach to the holidays! Add a bowl of glass ornaments to the table for a small touch of Christmas.

I placed them in the big bowl in our kitchen for a subtle touch of Christmas. Oh and fair warning, you are probably going to get so tired of this space because I just can’t stop doing shoots in here!

    Love the ornaments, and mixed with the black and dark green it’s so modern looking. Love your wood bowl too. (Do you have a link?)

    Placing them in your wooden bowl adds that bit of rustic element. (Do you have a link for the bowl?)

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
