winter white ledge makeover...

While I enjoy feathering my nest for the holidays every year, I have found this year to be the most fun.  Although I probably thought that last year and probably will next!  Keeping things simple is one of the reasons why and the other is that there will be less to put away!!  When it came to the ledge above my white couch I wanted to keep it simple and winter white...

Here are some close ups...

Vintage treasures in winter whites and a bit of sparkle along with  Loving Christmas Wishes from a kind faced Santa...

A bit of greenery and more sparkle...

And of course another Santa to make sure you are being nice...

And another...

It has been so much fun visiting all your wonderful blogs and seeing so many simple, beautiful and inspiring holiday vignettes!  Kathleen is hosting another White Wednesday at Faded Charm which means another fun filled day!!  Thank you for stopping by! 

fall ledge makeover...

In keeping with the "no new stuff" rule I set for myself (which has had it's first amendment ~ no new "big" stuff) I decided to dress up the ledge over my couch for fall using things I already had around my nest. I loved this new little vignette I put together here for my craft room... The colors and textures will compliment my Nana perfectly... So I started at one end with this... I put a little something in the middle... I almost painted this drawer white ~ so glad I did not, for now... Then I finished off the other end with this... You can see how nicely the mirror I showed you the other day looks with it all. The end result is that I have transformed the ledge from this... To this... The only new things I purchased were the rolled up pages of sheet music (I picked page 63 for the year I was born) and the old french grammar book that are in the drawer. Oh, and yesterday there was one lonely little white beauty left at the shop...... I usually wait until October 1st to put out my Halloween decor. Just a few little touches here and there to add a little magic my nest. Well, there it is, my fall ledge makeover. I did not spend a fortune (under $10) and now I get to see some of my favorite treasures more often. The space will change a bit for Halloween then get another makeover for Christmas. Goodness, I think I will probably have to amend my rule again for that! By the way ~ did you get to see Nate's show yesterday? Sandy's segment was so beautiful and she looked like a pro! Well, Happy White Wednesday to you ~ visit Kathleen over at Faded Charm for your weekly fix of wonderful whites!!
