Touches Of Christmas ..So Far

Good Morning!

We have been decorating here and there for Christmas at our house.  I still have so much more to do.

I wanted to share with you what has been done so far and what I want to do still..

In my foyer..

Love this little guy I bought from Ikea.  He makes the space not feel too serious : )

Miniature Christmas Tree I bought for $6 and wrapped in extra burlap I had.  The little stool was a garage sale find and I spray painted it red.

Close up of when it's lit up.  Love the dipped pinecone!

Living Room..

I have two feather wreaths hanging inspired by Sarah Richardson.

Pinecone garland on my credenza.  Sprayed them metallic silver and gold.  The gold came out bronze, which I love!

Pops of red with a cute little owl on birch.

What I still need to do..decorate fireplace..

I will be taking care of that today.

Dining Room..

Natural centerpiece 

and then I added..

Burlap table runner that I just cut from extra fabric I had.

Then to bring in the red from living room I hung red beads from chandelier.

This room done.

My daughter drew this tree for my laundry room and was inspired by CB2.

Done : )

Now for my family room ...so not done

 Put some string lights up on railing..

 This room still needs our Christmas Tree.  Yes, I am behind and for good reason.  I will let you know in a future post.

 Are you at all behind on decorating this year ?

Living Room Coming Together

Good Afternoon!  

I am really excited to show you more on the living room and the pieces that are making it all come together.

Not long ago we had our birch tree in our backyard come down in a windstorm

and I had an idea : )

The wall in my living space was totally empty..

I decided to make them into sculptural light pieces that would also expand the height of the ceiling.

We cut the birch to 9ft and placed them in wood containers that I got at Pier1 for $15, placed marble chips from Home Depot for $3.99 and placed Grundtal lights in the center from Ikea.

I had been wanting these curtains from Ikea for 3yrs after I had seen them on an episode of Sarah's House on Hgtv.

I bought this lamp from Pier1 as well from their clearance section for $25..now the other lamp I was borrowing from my family room could be returned..lol.

Here is my son asleep and after I looked at this picture the chair was calling out for a pillow..and so was my sofa.

The pillows we bought from good ol' Ikea.

My eye caught this piece at a consignment store..

hmmm...

Have a great weekend everyone : )
