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!

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.

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