Natural Elements for Christmas

I love bring some rustic natural elements inside for Christmas decorating.  I hope you enjoy these pictures of a couple vignettes found in my Living Room.


The Terra Cotta flower pots where my Grandmother's, she had hundreds of them and I was lucky enough to get as many as I wanted.









This display sits on the entertainment center in the living room next to the TV.


 I added some grapevine and greenery to an old galvanized bucket, which also belong to my Grandmother.  A few ornaments and I have a lovely display.

Christmas Party!!

I am so excited to be joining the Christmas Blogger Block Party.  So much inspiration, will I be able to contain myself?  Today's event is with Debbie Doo's Blogging & Blabbing Holiday Copycat Challenge. 







I have a hard time making decisions.  Are any of you like that?  And with so much inspiration out there, I had a hard time picking just one to copy, but I like my choice and I hope you will too.














Here is the party schedule for the rest of the week.  Hope to see you there!

Mirror Makeover and Another Tree Sneak Peek

I needed a mirror for the downstairs powder room so I went shopping at my favorite bargain place:  Goodwill!  I came home with, what I think, is the perfect piece.

I have already done some sanding here, so it's not a true before picture.



I love the curves of this piece and it will fit nicely in my small space.  After sanding, I put on a base coat and then began with the fun!  Mixing paint, brushing it on, wiping it off, wiping it on, wiping some more off.  Little more color here, a little less here, and this is how it turned out in the end.









I love the finished product and can't wait to hang it in it's new home.

I leave you with a sneak peak of the tree, with a reveal coming soon!!
