TikTok outraged after mom takes the color out of kids\u2019 Christmas decorations TikTok: nattiejopoA mom outraged the internet after removing the color from her kids\u2019 Christmas tree to better match the aesthetic of her home in an ill-received DIY project. It\u2019s the holiday season, and folks all over the world are transforming their homes to reflect the upcoming celebrations. From filling up Christmas trees with shiny ornaments to breaking out the Santa figurines and more, homes are looking more festive than ever, decked out in red, green, and white\u2026 but not for one mom on TikTok. TikTok user and new mom \u2018Nattie\u2019 has a specific aesthetic in mind for her house, and she\u2019s not keen on letting the holiday season get in the way of her preferred \u2018look.\u2019 Mom\u2019s Christmas toy makeover outrages the internet In a viral video uploaded on December 1, Nattie showed off the DIY project she undertook to make her toddler\u2019s kid-sized Christmas tree match the \u201csad beige\u201d style of her house. \u201cI\u2019m leaning into my inner Pinterest mom with the vision to neutralize the tree,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd I can already hear you thinking that I\u2019m gonna ruin my toddler\u2019s Christmas by painting over these colors. But let\u2019s be real: My toddler\u2019s favorite toys are brown cardboard boxes and clear plastic water bottles.\u201d In the video, Nattie painted over the bright green of the tree and its rainbow-colored ornaments with dark green, brown, gold, bronze, and silver spray paint. What was once a brightly-colored, festive decoration became what many viewers dubbed a drab, boring object taking up space in the house \u2014 not to mention the possible toxicity of the paint for a small child who might put things in their mouth. \u201cColor is so important for child development, what you want shouldn\u2019t matter,\u201d one user said. \u201cStop being sad beige moms.\u201d \u201cYes! Gorgeous! Stunt your child\u2019s development by turning anything colorful into a sad beige!\u201d another said. \u201cNothing says Christmas like, \u2018Let\u2019s poison the baby with paint, \u2019cause I\u2019m a sad beige mom!’\u201d yet another expressed. In response to the overwhelming criticism against her, Nattie created a follow-up video where she DIY\u2019d some additional child-safe ornaments painted with pinks and purples. Although it doesn\u2019t look like Nattie is leaving her \u201csad beige\u201d aesthetic behind despite the criticism, she isn\u2019t the only TikToker to get heat for her makeovers. In November, a woman came under fire for renovating her boyfriend\u2019s apartment \u2014 completely removing his personal style with a spartan, \u2018clean\u2019 aesthetic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
