{Jonas's * Room}

Yes, believe it or not, there are other rooms in our house besides the dining room.

Currently, I've been working on my son's room.

{it's been sorely neglected}

sorely...

{in my defense, we just moved in this past summer}

but, we're movin' past that, 

this room will shine I tell ya'.

I've got a great grass green on the upper part of the walls, and just finished (we'll most of) the trim.
Here's the over-all plan...

with some fun bedding thrown in.

So, more to come.

{ Simplifying the Tree }

This year I borrowed an artificial tree for my dining room.

I wanted to complete the tree by spending as little money as possible.

With a trip to my local thrift store, & some quiet nights with the hot glue gun, here's what I came up with...

And you can too.

Vintage Paper Ornaments

so simple to make.

And these paper chains by the mile...

I found mini canvases at A.C. Moore, decoupaged paper to them, them added some farm animal silhouettes to them along with a ribbon.

Next, I stopped by my local thrift store and picked up small pitchers, creamers, & pretty much anything little, pretty, and white.

I even picked up a kid's Raggedy Anne tea set & spray painted it white.

Attached a few ribbons, and bingo, ornaments.

I also found some gorgeous silver, that I attached ribbon to.

Another easy ornament...

So, with some luck at the thrift store, & some hot glue, you can have a simple, elegant, inexpensive tree.
