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!

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!

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 😉
