Decorate!

I was SO excited to decorate for Christmas this year! A few months back I decided on a color scheme and did what I could to make it happen. Today, you get to take a short tour of our humble Christmassy home! Please enjoy!

This is what adorns our kitchen table. I've been collecting pinecones for some time and now I have a place to put them! And I simply spray painted tree limbs that I found around our yard. I had all the other supplies so I didn't spend any extra $$ for this project. Oh wait, I had to buy spray paint but that was $1.00. :)

Coffee beans and a vanilla mint tealight... heavenly aroma!



This is a little corner nook in our living room. I already had everything you see here except for the snowflake ornaments and tree topper. I borrowed the window from a friend.

I cleared everything off the shelves and replaced is with these beauties! I love it all, from the pinecone garland to the mason jars full of rock salt snow and tealights.

Here's the breakdown: Yes, I got this idea from pinterest (so shoot me). I painted the "N" and "L". I like the "snowy" effect that I came up with (it was really a coincidence).



I spray painted this star that I already had and filled in the blank spaces with mason jars filled with rock salt (which is only $1-ish at Wal-Mart) and added more vanilla mint tealights. The twine gives it a nice touch too, don'tcha think?

I made this ornament tree a couple of years ago. I'm glad it gets to be showcased this year! Oh and this pinecone! Isn't it perfect?!

Who doesn't love a jar of twinkle lights?

A basket of twinkle lights and ornaments. Now tell me how that doesn't put you in the Christmas mood!

I'm beginning to love burlap and twine.

And that about does it, folks. I've always been drawn to the blues and snowy look of Christmas. I'm pretty satsfied with how our little space turned out. Happy decorating!!
