Christmas Open House

While in South Georgia over the weekend, I not only browsed through the thrift shops, I went into a "high-end"  interiors shop.  It was absolutely gorgeous.  They were preparing and decorating for yesterday's Christmas Open House.  I didn't dare become too obvious with my trusty cell phone camera, but I did snap a few shots for you.  I will be linking to Marty at A Stroll Through Life for Tabletop Tuesday.  I hope you enjoy this little taste of Christmas.

See the pretty tabletop display below.  I love the pottery pieces and the lamp.


The picture doesn't do justice to the bookcases.  They were gorgeous.

I will be using the idea of the wreath on the mirror in my home this Christmas.  I bought the hooks today, so I am all set.  Can't wait to decorate, but am trying to wait until after Thanksgiving.  Do you notice the Merry Christmas tucked into the greenery on the sofa table?  So pretty.


This Christmas tree was one of the flat ones with only clear lights and the bow.  It was so elegant.  The ribbon is about a foot wide.  Gotta try this too!

This chippy table reminded me of Kim at Savvy Southern Style's work.  So pretty.

See, now I have carried you along on my visit to this wonderful shop.  I will be back in that area next week, and I most definitely will visit them again.  Hope I can get a few more pictures to share with you.

    That was a nice little tour.

    Do you need special hooks to hang a wreath on a mirror? I'd like to try that too.

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
