TWO POTTERY BARN INSPIRED CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS…

 

 

I have a $0.00 budget for Christmas decorations this year :( but I did manage to make a few things from items I already had on hand. 

This is Pottery Barn’s oversized twig reindeer (which were inspired by a woman who makes twig reindeer’s):

 

this is my (oh, ok…DH helped…lol…) version of PB’s oversized twig reindeer:

isn’t he cute!!  And to think that I wasn’t getting ready to throw these pieces in the wood stove…lol…

 

Next up is Pottery Barn’s jingle bell swag:

 

and using these bells leftover from our wedding (Big Lot’s $1.00/pk)  and some chain from my jewelry making supplies:

this is my version of Pottery Barn’s jingle bell swag (don’t laugh at my attempt to make a bow…lol…):

 

I think I got a little carried away with the bells…lol…Do you think I should remove some of them?

 

And next is a centerpiece for my dining room table:

It wasn’t Pottery Barn inspired.  But again I was trying to make something pretty with what I already had on hand.

This is what it looked like early this morning while I was having my first cup of coffee.  So peaceful at 4:00 am:

  Do you like my fake snow?   It’s epsom’s salt.  The candle inside was given to me by a good friend.  It is a small cinnamon scented candle from The Yankee Candle Co.  It smells sooo good!!

I have linked this post to Between Naps on the Porch's Metamorphosis Monday.  Head on over there to check out everyone else’s awesome before and afters. 

Well, what do ya’ think?  Did I do good?  :)  Guess that’s all for now…Catcha later!!
