One of the first things you will see when you enter is this wonderful mantel decorated with pretty plates (You know I love that!) and these fabulous stockings! I have been seeing a lot of these colors…so fun to see them translated into Christmas! And…a mirror in the fireplace…genius!
Need some ideas for stockings? These are the most unusual ones that I saw made from everything from vintage grain sacks and gingham to upholstery fabric with fun trim!
There are lots of fun and different wreaths starring hydrangeas, coffee filters, skates and webbing!
What a fun way to decorate your candles for the holidays…burlap and sweater sleeves!
It looks like music-themed decorations are as popular as ever this Christmas with everything from a tree decorated entirely with sheet music to a different spin on a sheet music wreath! Love those sheet music feathers!
I also love this unique Christmas tree skirt made from several different vintage-y looking fabrics! Hmmm…wish I could find the one with the frenchy script somewhere…fabulous!
Here’s a beautiful little hydrangea tree to match the wreath I showed you earlier! I need to print this photo and put it beside my hydrangeas to inspire them to grow some pretty blooms like that for me next year!
You know I have a thing about dough bowls and I love this one…filled with big mercury glass acorns and surrounded by elk sheds…fabulous! I have everything I need to recreate this on a smaller scale.
Now you have to admit that you love these burlap-covered deer…so cute and different! Love those big eyes!
And now…get ready to have your socks blown off! It’s the pièce de résistance of the whole Christmas open house…
…this fabulous wreath made from angora and cashmere sweaters! I am in love! Are you holding your breath? Isn’t it gorgeous? I don’t know about you, but I found several things I want to try to make! And…I’d better get busy…Christmas is only a little over a month away!
Need even more inspiration? Have a look at Christmas Open House 2011 and Christmas Open House 2010...more fabulous ideas from the Queen of Hearts!
