Christmas in My Craft Room

Like many of you seem to be doing this holiday season, I've tried to take a "less is more" approach with my Christmas decorating.  Of course, I ended up doing a bit more than I had planned!  I've never decorated  for the holidays in my craft room, until now, that is!

But, the desk and hutch that I "rescued" this summer from my girlhood bedroom was just begging for a touch of Christmas cheer!

I really love this piece, it's become such a convenient spot in my craft room to not only stash supplies, but to display some of my favorite treasures and works in progress!

A wire basket holds several bottle brush trees that I've bleached and glittered.

And a little bottle brush "forest", just waiting to be added to future projects!

I made this wreath last year from some tuile that I had left over from another project.

It makes me think of a ballerina's tutu!

Here it is on the front side of the chair, that I recovered in my favorite blue and white toile fabric.  Love!

One of my little peat pots, and more projects in the works!

Candle light casts a soft and romantic glow. A thoughtful blogger friend send me this gorgeous pair of antique cast iron sconces earlier this summer.  I just love them!

More bottle brush tree fun!  The one below I just sold in my Etsy shop.  I really love the sweet vintage silver plated sugar bowl it's nestled in!

I had almost forgotten about this Paris themed banner I made two years ago!  Glittered reproduction vintage postcards of Paris were strung from wonderfully crinkly taupe seam binding.

I added rhinestones for a bit more bling, 'cause you all know how much I love anything sparkly!

Aren't these little birdies sweet?  I added paper medallions to each end, that I created from scrapbooking paper (I especially love the pale aqua polka dots!).  Large vintage mother of pearl buttons, and more rhinestones, add a touch of glam!

Oooh, la, la!
