If you got a chance to see our Christmas Living and Dining Room tour the other day you may have noticed the little Felt Flower Christmas Tree I made for our coffee table…. and today I am back to fill you in on a few more details about how exactly this little guy came to be.
I am so excited today to be participating in the Christmas Party Tour of Homes – and sharing our Christmas-y Living and Dining Room with you!!
We haven’t got our tree up yet because we plan to take our boys to cut one down at a local tree farm this weekend, but the rest of our living area has already been transformed in honour of this most precious of holidays…
Hello everyone- today I am thrilled to share another blue Christmas project with you: a DIY Holiday Pallet Sign with the lyrics to one of my favourite holiday songs “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”. Every time I read those words I can hear Zoe Deschanels beautiful voice in “Elf” singing them out loud and clear and I honestly break into song myself. There may be a lot of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” going on around here now that it will be hanging on our wall for the next several weeks.
The other day I shared my method for making tree cones in order to craft yourself up some mini Christmas trees… and today I can’t wait to share what I did with all those cones. I created beautiful Easy Thrifty DIY Yarn and Feather Christmas Trees and lined them up on our dining table as our centerpiece for the Christmas season. The DIY is very easy and they turned out so beautifully- I keep catching myself stopping just to gaze at them. I’m such a housie geek. But they are very pretty and festive and the thriftiness of them totally makes my heart skip a beat. (I think the whole lot of ten trees decorated cost me about $15 for all materials and supplies).
Well when you see these DIY Super Easy Opaque Glass Ornaments you might be wondering if I got my seasons mixed up. But no, I tell ya; I love blue. It has loooooooong been my favorite color. It goes with everything. And why not use it at Christmas? It pairs beautifully with the more traditional colors of red and green or if a cooler palette is more your thing it works amazingly well with white and silver. Even try blue with gold. Stunning. Really, blue is such a transitional colour and can work in so many décor styles. So give it a shot. Blue for Christmas.
It will be here before we know it! And today I am sharing this DIY Polka Dot Chalkboard Christmas Countdown Sign that I made using an old kitchen cabinet door. It was a fun project to get me into the spirit of Christmas decorating- after finishing it I had to hold myself back from digging into all the Christmas bins and banishing my fall décor for another year. But I will make myself wait. A few more days.
Hello everyone! Today I am going to finally share the details about how we made the big reclaimed wood sign in our living room. It was an easy project and a great way to create a large piece of wall décor for next to no cost. I love how it finishes off the wall above our TV Console.
