Live in it.....Love it.

I believe if you are going to live in it, you should LOVE it. You should be excited to come home to it everyday and be proud to show it off. I want to inspire you to make your home what you have always dreamed of. It doesn't matter how big or small the space is, it is what you do with that space that makes all the difference. I'll show you how I make our home something that we live in....and love it and I will show you how I do that on a budget.

Entertainment Center Christmasfied!!!

Of course I had to layer my entertainment center.  I couldn't just layer the Dining Room table.  You can check that out here.

I started out with one small picture frame on the left {it's one of our engagement pictures} and two small bowls with ornaments on the right side.

I felt that the two small bowls weren't enough, so I went and got one of my small white planters {from Ikea} and put some ornaments in that too.  The arrangement needed some height and this little wite planter did the trick.  I can't block the TV you know. ;)  And I don't have a mantel to play around with, so this in a way is our mantel.

I added some Turquoise beading that I bought at Target, that was left over from my Dining Room Tablescape.  So this all cost me $0 because I had already bought some of it and I had some of the decor.

Added Gold beading, also left over from the Tablescape.  Just keep layering it in until you are happy with what it looks like.

Some of the details.




Tip:  if you don't have enough ornaments to fill the whole vase or bowl you can add filler to the bottom of it.  You could use paper crumbled up or even a small cup up-side-down to fill in the space and the cover with the ornaments.

I really love using small bowls or planters, some small ornaments {there are actually two sizes of ornaments} and some beading and/or garland to layer.

Have you Christmasfied your Entertainment Center or Mantel?  Let's see some pictures.  Link up your blog in the comment area and share please.  I love to see what others are doing and get some great ideas for next year.  Let's share the love...well in this case the Holiday Decor.  :)

Come back next week and I will have more of my Christmas decorating up on the blog.  The tree, tree skirt & our Family Room....just to name a few.

Thanks for stopping by everyone!!!  Have a great day!!!  :)
