I have a little more holiday decor to share!
I realized I completely missed this corner of my living room in my Cottage Christmas post.
I am on to holiday number two with the little black birdhouse I picked up a few months ago.
So far, so good!
It was of course, great for Halloween.
Now, I’m using it for Christmas.
When we recently got a new armoire
(You can see it best here) and I painted a small side table the same creamy white to match and balance out the weight of the room.
After I carried my little black birdhouse all around my house looking for a new home, (shh… that is my super secret decorating trick) it settled on the freshly painted table.
I thought the black & white looked striking so I set about adding some sparkle.
Tip;
( That I am sure everyone knows…lol )
Simply adding ornaments is one of THE easiest ways to take your everyday decor and push it over the edge into the holidays.
I had recently moved lots of my mirrors and artwork around. My subway art had not landed anywhere permanent yet, and I thought it would look pretty good here. So I gave it a shot.
I really love the rich, deep pewter color of mercury glass so I have been slowly picking up a few items here & there if I find them at an affordable price.
Here is where the ornaments come in handy!
I used a big, open mouth vase to hold all the wonderful glitter & sparkle, then set the vase down inside the birdhouse.
A few feathers on top…
and it was nice a girly~glam.
Thanks so much for stopping by to look.
I love sharing!!

Love the colour you have chosen; jewel tones are gorgeous.
Looks like I love all the same things too decorate with that you do–love the mercury glass and the blues. Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous Shannon! Love the fun colors and your touch of whimsy too!
Love the blue! I’m gonna copy your idea of adding ornaments inside the birdhouse.

Who says Christmas has to be red and green? The blue and silver is so pretty. I love the bottles filled with things that makes the holiday’s.
So creative Shannon!! You can come help me with mine
