I had fun adding little touches of Christmas to our NEW KITCHEN this year...
Here's the "before" if you want to play a Christmas "Seek and Find" game :)
The other day I shared my new CRATE LIGHT and this little "Christmas-y" corner in my KITCHEN.
I found these huge glass light bulbs at Second Hand Rose in Buffalo, MN. I thought about embellishing them somehow...but decided to just hang them "as is". I didn't want to ruin their cool clean industrial look.
"JOY-full" little pitchers hanging from the hooks too.
We actually made and used this aqua ironing board advent tree last Christmas. At the time I didn't share it because 2 of my favorite "junk friends" made similar trees out of ironing boards...mine seemed "boring" compared to theirs...so I kept it to myself...
But I'm over it now...want to see?
You might remember our MAGNET ADVENT TREE from a couple of years ago. Same magnets and daily verses. This year we decided to hang the little verse slips each day so we can re-read the whole story on the 25th.
I added a rusty hinge to the bottom with Amazing Goop glue for the trunk. The verses, earring magnets and a little treat are in little canvas bags numbered with sheep tags. There just happened to be 25...meant to be?
And other than a few more little details...that's about it in our kitchen. Still trying really hard to keep it simple. How am I doing?

I love your ironing board, so glad you changed your mind and decided to share it is fantastic! Because of its size, it is a child's ironing board? And was this the original color? I am going to try and find one, give me something to hunt for because I have those old earrings from my grandmothers jewlery box😊 where did you find your bar stools I love them and have been looking for some new ones?
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol! It is a child sized board...and I believe it is the original color. We bought those stools at Target. We were lucky enough to scoop them up at 30% off. I had been eye-ing them for a while :)
DeleteWhat fun, Laurel. I think that old ironing board tree is just the cutest thing I have seen anywhere. It is darling and just so much fun. Love it! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteSo Stunning and completely FUN!!!!

Wow -- I JUST saw an old board like that at a thrift and walked right by. I DID pause for a moment but had no creative inspiration like this -- adorable!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so beautiful. That ironing board is so cute and love the earring magnets. I will definitely be decorating up to the last minute.
