Christmas
While I was doing a few link parties last week I came across a very lovely blog Eclectically Vintage. Her fireplace display instantly drew me in and I’ve not stopped thinking about it since! It was so beautiful that I decided to share it with you!
AMAZING right! I’m in love with that old bedspring, the wreath tied with burlap and the fresh green garland. Its so beautiful and looks very cozy!
All of her mercury glass trees drew my eye in also….. really I’m in LOVE and I think I need a vintage bedspring now. Stop by her cute blog to see her full Christmas post and all of her other exciting stuff! Thanks for letting me share your beautiful fireplace Kelly :)
Now that my tree has been finished for a few weeks I finally decided I should put up the rest of the Christmas decor. While I was pulling all of my stuff out I really decided I was slacking in the Christmas section. Ah well… I made due with what I had. I’ve been switching out the decor on my faux beam shelf and it’s been really fun! I’m not sure what I will do with it when the holidays are over. Here are a few pictures of the “Christmas Beam”.
I really need to add something to my wall space under my shelf and I’ve had my eye on these paintings from Ballard.
At a lovely $299 a piece they might have to become a DIY project after the holidays. I’m still brainstorming though :)
My rustic ladder looked a little lonely in the corner so I draped the long stocking over it to give it some Christmas bling.
So, do you have all of your Christmas up and ready? I know some people put there tree up on Christmas Eve as a tradition. That would be a fun tradition but I really love savoring the warm glow from the lights for as long as possible!

Good riddance burgundy! In case you didn’t catch word, we’ve put the tree up at our house! For some reason it’s been happening the week before Thanksgiving for the past few years. I consider that to be an “official tradition” wouldn’t you ;) I gave the tree a little makeover this year by replacing all of my burgundy items with cream and I LOVE it! No offense to burgundy it just didn’t fit in my home.
brown, tan, cream, and gold are the new tree colors this year
Can you spot my book page ornaments? I covered all of my burgundy ornaments with mod pog and book pages…. easy fix!
The top of the tree has a few twigy items popping out of it. I spray painted all of my burgundy twigs a cream color.
I added some cut up burlap strips to pull in more of a neutral tone and a few feathers to fill in some gaps.
Let’s not forget about my new ruffled tree skirt! If you want to make one you can check out Miss Mustard Seed’s tutorial! Mine is definitely lacking in WOW factor compared to hers…. ah well ;) What colors are you using on your tree this year?
