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!!

  5. Everything looks wonderful, Kathy! I love that cabinet and fell in love with your snowman family (I collect snowmen, too!) and the Santa plate. The basket of greenery is a great touch, too. It looks like Christmas is happening at your house!

  6. Oh Kathy, how beautiful. The cupboard is beautiful. I love how you have it decorated. Your home looks so inviting. It seems you and I manage to have some of the same things. I have a pillow just like the pretty white one with the candles. Great minds think alike! Hope you are having a wonderful week. Hugs, to you my dear friend. Karie

  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!

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale.   Consignmen

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They can all be seen
