My look for my home this Christmas is Nordic French Country Cottage.I actually think that would best describe the look and transformation of my home too.This table is a recent find.You know how much I love these old chippy white farmhouse tables.I found this in my friends Jeannie and Lisa's booth the Gilded Junque Yard .It was a steal of a price too! After moving things around for Christmas I placed the farm table from my kitchen here and knew after the holidays I would have a hard time putting things back the way they were.Now I have two of these tables one here and the other will remain in my kitchen.At the moment the other is in my laundry room.I added a sweet nativity set I found at a thrift shop.I was going to sell this but knew I had to keep it.So off went my older set to my space.I ...

As you know I have been using fresh greens in my home this year for Christmas.I have several metal galvanized buckets and decided to use these for my greens.One of the the buckets has been placed on a shelf in my living room.I decided it needed a little Christmas bling so I hung some crystals from a vintage chandelier on the branches.I think it looks like icicles hanging from the branches don't you?Just added some twigs to the mix too.I have this branch in a floral foam so I can keep adding water to keep this from drying out.Working on Christmas gifts that we are sending out to family.I soon will be baking too! What are you working on?Thank you Jocie from One Project Closer The Humble Brag party for featuring my Christmas Tree in a Trunk  .Visit Jocie  to find about about her giveaway for ... View Post

Back in the summer as I was out junking I came across three sets of Angel wings.One of them had feathers.I knew just when I would use these and I put them away.As I was thinking of what I wanted to do for Christmas I pulled these out. I glued a pair of these together. I thought I would hang these with a silk ribbon from my vintage easel I found at a barn sale back in the summer. Keeping it simple this Christmas season and adding some feathered art!This is displayed on my landing.I wanted to thank Kerryanne from Shabbylicious  Patti @ Ivy and Elephants   Miriam illions from Hometalk   and   Aimee from Twigg Studios    for featuring my blog !

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Can't believe how fast the time is flying! Today I wanted to share my mantle.As with the rest of my Christmas decor I am keeping it simple. I added a bit of silver and pine cones.I kept my ironstone pitcher from my fall mantle and added another for my fresh Christmas greens. I am really enjoying my simpler look this year!My inspiration comes from this beautiful magazine! Love the simplicity! I am anxiously awaiting the December issue! I am always inspired after reading this beautiful magazine!                                                      (Photo Source Maynardgreenhouse.com)As I was reading this issue I noticed a rosemary tree.I have never seen one but was determined to find one for my home this year.I love the scent of rosemary too!

I know I have mentioned this allot lately but I will repeat this again.My home is much different now than it was a year ago.I feel like I have more freedom to change and decorate as I want.With so much white in my house now I have many options.As I was sifting through my Christmas decorations I decided I did not want to use much of it.Some I have kept and just changed it a bit and other things are being sold and donated.I wanted a much simpler look to my home.As much as I love a decked out house for the holidays I did not want that for my house.Every year I can't wait to put things up and then I feel anxious about putting it all away.I think for me having all of that in my home is too much of an overload.This year I wanted to use fresh greens and pine cones in my home.We don't have real ...

I decided I needed to change my lamp shades in my family room.I did not like what I had and I thought I would make my own.I did that using some burlap.But after I made them I was not happy with how they turned out.I lived with them for a bit until I could figure out what to do.We are on a budget around here so I did not want to spend much to make something new. I kept hearing about Creatively made home and how people were inspired by this course.I was not planning on taking it but I was convinced I would learn so much about home decor and so much more that I decided to join.And I am so glad I did! After watching one of the videos on how to make a lamp shade I was inspired to make my own!I used vintage lamp shade frames for these. And they were free!I found muslin at Hobby lobby.I think it ...
