Happy end of the weekend! Hope you had a great one. With my illness the last couple weeks I am waaaay behind with shopping, decorating, and just enjoying it all. Thank goodness I am now my normal (?) self. Now I need to slow down and soak in all of the glory and peace and love of the season.
I wanted to share some fun little projects I've been working on to spruce up the dining room. On my last post, I shared my snowflake and red ornament window. This is the same room, but there are some other projects that I wanted to highlight. I haven't filled the tin pails with anything yet (I am trying hard not to buy much, and can't decide what to put in there, maybe lots of candy canes?).....
Isn't the chalkboard cute? I have a set of three of them and they are fun to write little messages on! There's more of that wrapping paper from the Target Dollar section.. I also plan to add some peppermints in the small mason jars you see at the top. The whole room is done is simple silver, red, and lots of pinecones that I already had from previous seasons. Unpacking my Christmas stuff was like Pine-cone-polooza. I really tried to use what I had and be creative with fun little touches here and there. This is the dining room table, not done yet. My kiddos sprayed simple wooden stars just like they did the snowflakes and we also glittered the pinecones. I had extra silver bells, so I tossed them in there, too. I had our red tray out on our porch I shared with you this past summer.
I have lots of these bead garlands that used to be on our tree and used them in this glass hurricane and also this wooden bowl.
More pincones. Told you I had a lot. :) I tucked glittered stars in random places.
Two of my favorite {very little} touches are the pine cone I painted white to make it look snowy then stuck in a tiny silver pail I had.....
and using a red pom-pom to add some fun to Rudolph, my silver reindeer. He makes me smile every time I see him.
This room is bright, simple, and fun. What little touches have you added to your rooms to make them festive?
