I’m Rocking Some Retro
at the Cottage This Christmas!
I’m loving the energy in the sun room this Christmas.
It’s sort of “retro”.. with a dash of vintage thrown in!
I was really excited to decorate
the sun room for Christmas this year!
It’s the first big holiday since we added
our fancy “new” counter top.
The one we made out of old fence boards.
I’m sure it’ll be “the next big thing”! {haha}
DIY Style Repurposed Fence Boards Into Counter Tops.
I tell you what though..
It sure is fun to decorate!
I love all the texture and I wish we had done it sooner.
Well, it wasn’t gold, but you know what I mean.
I used it last Spring as an Easter Tree.
It was a real $&#^@ stinker to store too.
It as great having it on hand and ready to go without spray painting
another one though. So it was worth it.
The silver platter was a Goodwill find
and the mercury glass piece is technically
a Christmas tree topper..
but I love it as-is.
So there ya go! I re use my regular everyday items,
hunt the thrift stores, improvise…
and stuff anything that will stand still
with ornaments at Christmastime.
Thanks for stopping by!
and Happy Holidays.. to YOU!

Your sunroom looks great Shannon! I love the vintage colors. So bright and cheery and festive!
Your sun room is just enchanting! I love all the festive touches.
May the beauty, peace and joy of the season be yours.
Your sun room looks fabulous, girl! The colors are incredible and I love the tip about using plain ornaments as filler so that there are plenty but not all need to be vintage! I’ll be on the lookout, starting now, for next year! Two weeks ’til Christmas! I’d better get going! xo, Kimberly
Loving these colors Shannon! Gorgeous sunroom!
I adore your ornaments! What lovely colors, I love vintage ornaments as well it’s so great to see others use them as well! Just beautiful!!!

Shannon,
Such a gorgeous display! The combination of colors is so festive and your diy shelf in the sunroom is the perfect background for all your beauties! And yes, it makes me want to find some old barn wood!
Shannon,
Everything looks so festive and I love your mixture of colors. I always dig the retro vibe
Sounds familiar – thrift store finds are perfect! I’ve got tons of Shiny Brites – they just don’t make them like that anymore!

Lovely, Shannon! So festive and colorful and the texture of the countertop is the perfect backdrop for all that glitz!

Oooh Shannon – it’s so, so pretty! I just love all of the colors that you combined together. You have such a vision – I took one look at those tinsel trees in the dollar store and walked right by them. Now I’m kicking myself! Great job decorating your sunroom. BTW – your “free” countertop gives me an idea to use in my basement if I ever get around to decorating down there.
Put that crown back on your head!

Shannon, your sun room decor is over-the-top! I love the colors!!!! Very happy! It works so well with your fence board countertop! Great color.
You really have an eye for grouping things and making them work so well together! I LOVE it!
Everything is just beautiful and the bling is just right… Wishing I had an eye for detail like yours. I’m so glad the countertops got a chance to shine at Christmas too
Your fence boards have never looked so good!! Love all the vintage glitz and glamour. Looks like my kind of holiday party there!
Very pretty ! Love the colors !

Hi Shannon! I’m a first time blog visitor {via the Holiday Home Tour at The Inspired Room} and I just have to say… WOW! What a gorgeous display! The colors are fabulous, the mix of new and old is perfect and although it looks magazine photo worthy, it also looks like a scene that anyone could produce with some time, creativity and care!
Well done!
