A few months ago, you'll remember, I participated in the Home Depot Holiday Style Challenge. I loved doing it & loved our dining room decorations, but sadly had to take them all down immediately for the Do It Yourself Magazine Shoot. Feeling a bit lazy 2 months later... It's been a busy fall!!! I decided to only add a few of the decorations back.
(Notice the new Dash & Albert Rug?!? Ya'll know I love a stripe!)
Luckily, the way I constructed & attached the garland I was able to literally take it off, store it & put it back in place. Woo Hoo! I just love the shiny baubles against the stacked branches in the fireplace...
Something I didn't share in the Home Depot Challenge, was that this Garland is actually three thin garlands combined together. I literally braided them to give me a fuller look.
I also hung our new stockings that I made out of some old project remnants... do you remember the Bergere Chair, the outdoor pillows & the fur ottoman?
I love being able to incorporate this vintage sled that has been in our shed. It just screams Christmas!
After all of the original decorations that were up, I feel a bit like I was phoning this room in... does anyone else have a room like that?!?

ReplyDeleteI made a third one, but Rob wants to use his (& we have to find it)
DeleteThose stockings are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI just love the swagged ornaments on the mantel - I seem to remember a tidbit about zip ties? I think I will have to copy you - but next year! There's just waaaaay too much going on right now, and I have to go ask for the afternoon off to go make a dent in my to-do list!

LOVE the stockings. This is exactly what I had been envisioning for stockings but couldn't decide on fabric. You are incredibly talented!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the stockings and the wood stacked in the fireplace, and pretty much everything else in the room!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Kristin! I think it looks just as festive as it did before. Love your stockings!
ReplyDeleteI used to think I was a crafty person but this has me perplexed. I would love to copy it, but am not sure how you have all the baubles attached. Can you let me know how you made this, my email is kthamby77@gmail.com. Thanks so much in advance .
ReplyDeleteVery original and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the baubles!
