Happy New Year!
I'm excited for what this year may hold,
and I'm excited to continue sharing more and more with you all.
So
remember how I said I was going to come up with some decorations for
January that I love? Well, I did! But first, I had some sad news. The
shelf I hung back in the fall to make up for my "lack of mantel" was
terrible. The wall it hung on in my ever so humble place of living was
too bowed for the shelf, so it was learning forward to the point that
nothing would stay on it! I literally had to sticky tack my Christmas
decorations to it. I decided that was too much of a hassle because I
also couldn't put any thing with significant weight on it. I decided to
take the shelf down (sniff sniff), and just leave the table I brought in
for Christmas decorating in the room.
I covered the wall then with two upcycled canvases
covered with a pretty, grey damask fabric I found. They conveniently
covered all the holes in the wall that the shelf left ;)
I
scored those white candleholders at Target in their after-Christmas
clearance for 50% off. (I'd been eying them all season!) I also scored
the gold and snow-covered branches in Michael's 70% off Christmas
clearance. The cute printable in the middle was part of a set I
downloaded from here. It says "It's a good day to have a good day." A good reminder for those of us in the cold Midwest!
As
you'll notice in the second picture, those white candles had to go. I
replaced then with cuter, silver pillar candles. I just didn't like the
white ones.
Enjoy!
