Buffalo Check Christmas

Go ahead and call me basic because I cannot get enough of the black buffalo check this holiday season. Today we’re sharing what exactly inspired my full blown obsession and where to find a few of our favorite things.

I know buffalo check falls in line with a farmhouse aesthetic and while I would consider my home’s decor to be anything but I still can’t help falling for that black and white plaid.

It all started when I saw this Instagram photo from @theoldhouseonmain. She’s always changing out her guest bedroom but it’s the buffalo check pillows and throw that make me want to snuggle down into one of those beds and watch Netflix. Totally not creepy at all, right?

Then, I stumbled across the most gorgeous buffalo check tree skirt at my favorite Home Goods and wanted it so badly but knew that it wouldn’t go with any other Christmas decor we already have. So, I left it but find myself doing a drive by each time I’m in the store to see if another one is there.

Here’s the craziest thing: I cannot find buffalo check wrapping paper ANYWHERE! I usually like to buy my Christmas wrapping paper from Home Goods because I think it’s the best quality for the price and I’ve yet to find a roll in stores. There’s a few websites that sell it but for upwards of $13 a roll and that’s just dumb.

Basic black and white check table runner from Pottery Barn (on sale for $44). I would totally dress this up with gorgeous white dishes, buffalo check napkins, vintage-inspired glass ornaments, mercury votives and holly berry garland.

Stockings are so personal. I know we’ve had ours since we were married and I don’t foresee us changing them out anytime soon.

But, I guess you can put stockings anywhere, right? Saw these Hearth & Hand by Magnolia stockings ($15.00) in Target today and loved how they would make for great decor. They are padded and probably wouldn’t hold too much, so slap a stocking on it and call it Christmas!

It’s weird how I obsess over certain trends. It was rose gold a few years ago and pineapples for a while. This trend will come and go too but until then, tell us what you’re into this holiday season!
