Holiday Decorations

Christmas Decor

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!

Christmas Tree Reveal

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?

Giving In

I don’t know what it is about this week before Thanksgiving but it seems to be “the week” that I always put my tree up. I’m redoing my tree this year and I’m getting really antsy to see the finished product so….. I’M PUTTING UP THE TREE! I’ll take pictures when it’s all finished; it’s quite the process! For now here is what my tree looked like before…..

All of that burgundy is going bye bye and I can’t wait!

Monday Randoms

Just a few randoms for ya today :) I’ve been thinking A LOT about Christmas as I’m sure all of you have been too. I’m trying to redo my Christmas tree this year. It has a burgundy color in it that I’m not to fond of. I’m replacing it with creams and tans to make my tree more neutral. I asked you to help me decide which tree skirt I should make for my “new tree”. GEEESH this was a really hard decision. I still have equal feelings towards both of them but decided to go with the one that really caught my eye. Here is a little sneak peak for ya…. I’ll save the full on version for my tree reveal!

Now for the random…. I was finishing up a few link parties on Friday last week. My sweet four year old boy just woke up from his nap and was snuggling on my lap. I was in the middle of my “linkie love” and had just clicked on Liz Marie’s link.

She shared this cute little fella:


My little boy immediately informed me that he needed one of these in his bedroom. LOL oh boy! He has a vintage airplane themed room…. not quite sure how I will work this one in ;) At least he has good taste right!
