French Vintage Friday – Christmas Entryway
Happy Friday, friends! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week! Can you believe Christmas is just one short week away! Today, for French Vintage Friday, I’m sharing my entryway, dressed for Christmas. I kept it simple with vintage sheet music that I rolled and taped to the walls, old books, a nativity, vintage ornaments in an antique ironstone tureen, and my favorite candelabra.

Five minute, Two Dollar DIY Christmas pillow cover
Hi friends!! I hope your day is going well! Tara and I are back for our weekly holiday DIY! Today, I am sharing a super quick and easy pillow cover. I found these cute tea towels from Target for just $1 each. After unrolling the tea towels, give them a quick iron. Then, using a hot glue gun, I glued the two towels together. Leaving the top open to slide the pillow insert in. I don’t sew, otherwise I would have sewed these, instead of using glue. I should really learn how to sew! After the pillow insert is in, glue/sew the top closed. Simple as that, you have a…

Happy Friday, friends!!! Today, I am so excited to be joining some sweet and talented blogging friends for a fun challenge, hosted by Terrie from Decorate and More With Tip.

Anthropologie Inspired Christmas Ornaments
Happy Wednesday, friends!!! Today, Tara and I are each sharing a holiday DIY. For my DIY, I transformed some basic, plastic ornaments. Here’s my inspiration picture…. These darling ornaments are from Anthropologie. I love the gold detail! Here is my, much less expensive, version… I started with plastic ornaments from Walmart, white and green matte spray paint, and gold paint… I only used the ornaments that had cute details. The plain, and also the glittered ornaments, wouldn’t work for this project. I took the tops off of each ornament, and spray painted them, some green, some white. I painted the raised details of each ornament with the gold paint. Before…

Cozy Christmas bedroom
Happy Thursday, friends! Tomorrow, December 20th, my husband and I are celebrating our seventeenth wedding anniversary!! I can’t believe we’ve been married for seventeen years! I was just a baby when we got married, not even old enough to legally drink! It’s been the best years of my life! I usually don’t find the time to decorate the master bedroom for the holidays, but this year I did. I added just a few simple Christmas touches… Fresh flowers are always a must! The fresh garland hasn’t started to shed yet, but it probably will very soon! I know faux garland wouldn’t dry out, wouldn’t shed, etc, I can’t help but…
