Traditional Christmas Colors in the Sun Room ~ 2012

My MIL's little jelly cupboard is all ready for Christmas.  I removed everything, and brought in a few holiday items.  I love decorating this cupboard.  The red painted back is so conducive to Chistmas decor.



A snow family is perched on top.  These have been around for a while.  Especially the one in the center.   I love the red candy dish on the upper shelf. My husband had it before we married.  I found a holly green one at Habitat that I really wanted, but the price was way too much!  


After a mishap that broke out the glass in one of the doors, I removed the other one and replaced both with chicken wire.  Like that even better.  Nothing inside is new.  I've had the Old World Santas for years.  It's one piece, and folds up.  The 3 little angels were a gift from my daughter. The red box was bought at a consignment shopas wer the Ball jars.












I made a Christmas arrangement for the table with floral items from the Dollar Tree.  






I made this wreath several years ago using snow people made from baby socks.  They were made by a friend's mother.



The two pictures on the left of the door were made for us by a neighbor we had in Conyers.  She is so talented, and I always enjoy having these items on display.






Aren't the snow people cute?




I later wrapped the cushions in the wicker rocker with Christmas fabric too.  The ribbon on the small cushion is wired ribbon from the DT.
These fabrics are from the clearance bins and are remnants.  



Ready for Christmas in the Sun Room!!

  10. Your decor is lovely! I think the Old World Santas and the snowman platter are my favorites! I also love the idea of dressing up sofa and chair cushions with Christmas fabric for the season. Thanks for the inspiration!

  11. Yeah, that red backing on the cabinet does just the trick. You are so good about redecorating everything and enjoying many looks. I have trouble changing things once I like them. Wish I was less of "stuck in a rut" kind of a person. I guess the only remedy for this is to just do it and see if I can talk myself into liking the changes. Love the colors in your centerpiece. It's beautiful!

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. ...
