DIY Show Off Holiday Highlights Linky Party

 
 
There’s snow in the weather forecast and I can’t hold off any longer. Time to crank the Christmas carols and get into the Christmas spirit! I’ve heard about some other blog linky holiday parties coming up! If you have one coming up, please send me the info! I’d love to share them during my holiday feature so spread the holiday cheer!  
 
 
Who’s thinking about the holidays?  There are 44 days until Christmas. We have a vacation coming up before that, so my plan is to have my decorating done in November. I know I’ve seen a few holiday related posts out there and it’s rubbing off.  I’m ready for Christmas music, twinkly lights and holiday decorating. I recently decorated my dining room for Emily Henderson’s Holiday Guide. Then took it down and decorated for Fall and I’m ready to take that down and start all over again.  Crazy, isn’t it? Here are some of my pictures from the feature:
Natural elements, fresh pine and candles.
 
 
Centerpiece is made up of paper mache reindeer on a bed of pine, 
some brown glass bottles hold candles, 
some serve as bud vases for fresh white roses.
 
Monogrammed placecards:  Stamped book page square, pine sprig tied with ribbon…
Simple but festive…
 
 
 
Even the light fixture looks festive! 
Holiday themed vinyl cutouts on white plates can be changed to reflect any season.



What do you think?
 
Next week, I’ll share a few tutorials of some DIY decorating projects in our dining room.

CRAFTY SCRAPPY HAPPY ~ Bedroom Reveal

If you saw my tongue twisting post title before I changed it…I’m sorry!  No excuse except that it’s Monday. I knew I was twisting it around and even proof read the post repeatedly (forgot the title, I guess). I apologize, Jaime! Now –>Meet: Jaime from 
Crafty, Scrappy, Happy
I love her blog – so many beautiful transformations, DIY and repurposing projects to see!  Today, she shares her beautiful bedroom makeover. I love that it’s so personal to her and her style, with pieces that have special meaning.  We have a master bedroom to makeover and I love Jaime’s ideas. 
“I am so excited to show you guys my Bedroom Makeover, it has been something I have been wanting and thinking and putting off doing for a LONG time now…. I just kept pretending that I didn’t mind the look of my room…. Butttt I was finally inspired to make the room HOME—and I am SUPER excited!!”
She refinished all four of the above pieces!
Bed frame:
Old bench/coffee table – upcycled with a new home:
 Dresser:
Not a fan of the curved top.  What’s a DIY girl to do?  Make a new one!
MUCH better, right?!
Night stand:
Sweet and simple, light and airy.
chair:
Pretty!
Total cost for furniture makeovers:  $6!
Accessorizing:
 August 1st has special meaning. 
Beautiful and relaxing…
She’d love to know what you think! Know what I think? I want my room to look this way! Seriously, she’s crafty/DIY ambitious and so successful – she’s even participating in two craft competitions and hosts an awesome linky party. She’s crafty Scrappy Happy – Superwoman!   See more amazing DIY at
