Vintage-Inspired-Winter Decor in the Shelving Unit

Hi Friends, 

I've been moving some of my staple vintage decor pieces from room to room trying to find a permament spot on my Shelving Unit, if that's possible.

***

My focus is to switch up some of my vintage collections and working the pieces into new vignettes using brown, white, pewter, and green.

***

I moved one of my vintage tackle boxes into this cubby, added a knew found wooden shoe mold, used one of my milkglass compote, a couple of crock pieces and touches of winter.

*** 

Another cubby I incorporated a few milkglass vases with my collection of Hall prottery pieces, and added a crock bowl.

***

I have incorporated a couple of milkglass and pottery pieces this vignette. While I was shopping around the house, I found two wood picture frame that I added winter prints.

***

In this vignette I have added two cigar boxes that I normally have styled in the Den. I have used a couple more milk-glass pieces and a new chalkboard I thrifted this month.

***

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by the blog.

I hope I gave you a little bit of inspiration with my plan to change some of my vignettes.

 So until my next post......

A Cozy Rustic Winter Mantel

 Hi Friends,

Time to change up the mantel, I've packed up all my Christmas collections.  To start decorating the mantel, I thought this DIY was very appropriate for this very cold winter season, here in NW Colorado.

I'm still loving buffalo/gingham check so I leave the black check rag garland all seasons, but added the red/black checked rag garland to my winter displays

 New DIY this winter is the wreath with a stick snowflake hung in the center, I like the rustic feel it adds to the mantel. 

This awesome white snowflake I diy a couple of winters back out of popsicle sticks.  One of the new DIY's for this winter are using collected bottle brush trees and wooden vintage thread spools and ABC blocks.

Pines cones always come out during my winter decorating, I found the little cardinal tin this year at the thrift store

I also like displaying the red felt birds that I picked up several years ago I believe from "Dollar Tree?", all throughout the house.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you found some inspiration to decorate a corner of your home for the winter season.

May God you and your family,

Two diy Pine Cone Projects for the Winter Decor

********

1st diy

Using fir tree cones that I had collected, I decided to add a little Waverly white chalk paint to the cones and hot glue a jute string for hanging.

Here I gathered a bundle of painted fir cones and hung them from a shelve.

***************

2nd DIY

Here I used some fir cones as a vase filler

A Bonus diy

These two glass vase I use alot on my mantel, I added some burlap ribbon to the top of the vase and glued three of the  fir cones on a string to the front

I think it adds a little woodsy feel to the mantel.

Thank you for stopping by, so until next project.  

Take care,

Diy Snowflakes Projects For My Winter Decor

Last year I cut out a few different patterns from paper snowflake patterns card-stock and attached the paper snow flakes to the small willow wreath forms I use around the house.

 This year, I'm still using snowflake in my winter decor, but I'm branching out and using some different mediums like stencils, box signs from Dollar Tree, and old book pages. 

*********

For both of the diy, I painted 6 x 6 little box sign from Dollar Tree
with Waverly white chalk paint.

For the first project

With a mix of blue and acrylic paint, I came up with a gray color 

placing a snowflake from Wal-Mart on top of the box sign  then using paint brush I brushed the gray color over the snowflake ornament while holding down the snowflake and let dry.  Turned out like this, not to bad this project was a bit harder than I thought.

So, the second box sign I painted the top  with the gray color, let dry and mod-podge a paper snowflake on it, quiet a bit easier.

******************

Using two more of the painted 6 x 6 little box sign from Dollar Tree that I painted with Waverly white chalk paint.

 I measured out lines to make the appearance of a wood strips.

Then I went back over the lines I drew and using my box cutter and a ruler made grooves on the lines to emphasize the board lines.

 I went back and added brown and black paint over the grooved lines to add distress marks.

With the  snow flake pattern  I found on Pinterest, I used old paper back I had and made the snowflake from the book pages.

I used tacky glue to attach the paper snowflake to the box sign.  I really like how these turned out.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope I gave you some simple ideas to add to your winter decor.

Until the next project, Vicki

Diy Giant Snow Flake from Craft Sticks

Very easy giant snow flake from craft sticks project

 Using a packet of craft sticks from Dollar Tree , my glue gun  and a hand drawn design I found on Pinterest  Popsicle-Stick-Snowflake.  I started gluing the craft sticks together

Once all the craft sticks were in place I paint the entire snow flake with Waverly White Chalk paint.

If you want a quick and easy project to add to your winter decor try out this project.  Let me know what you think of this diy giant snow flake from craft sticks project.

Until the next project take care.  Vicki

Winter Pine Cone Wreath Project For my Mantel

I have always incorporated pine cone into my Fall, Christmas and winter decor as filler, but this year I have decided to go a bit further by making a few pine cone projects to add to my winter decor.

I always have a bag of pine cones on hand for craft projects. 

I used a willow wreath from Dollar Store, my glue gun and a stash of pine cones 

I used some ribbons I had on hand and tried to make a crazy bow like Tracy at crazy bow

The bow was easy to make, but in my opinion, I need more practice making this style of bow.

Hope you enjoyed this diy Pine Cone Wreath project using items from nature, in my winter decor.

Thanks for stopping by, until the next project.

Winter Décor with Snowmen, Snowy Pinecone, and Holly

I've been watching all my favorite you tube friends doing winter decor, so I thought I would share of few of my winter vignettes.
I took my Santa collection down and put up the snowmen I don't have many, with a few little trees I think it looks like a snowman winter wonderland.

Mantel in the Den, I display some wooden snowmen that my stepdad carved, also my collection of large pine cones.

Here is a small corner shelf grouping with some of chicken from my collection, I also added another one of the little trees I hauled from a clearance sale at a local craft store.

I have two red shelves in the vignette with the frosted pine cones, the cigar box I filled with pine cones red berries and a poinsettia

Here is a grouping of two Shelves in my guest bathroom. As you can see I added more pine cones a little tree from a close out sell and then just added red berry picks from the The Dollar Tree.

Thank you for stopping by.
