A Flocked Heart: Before And After

I took the shears to our flocked holiday wreath and extended its use by shaping it into a heart.  Adding black peacock feathers as Cupid's arrow, our door is now adorned with a fluffy white Valentine's Day wreath.  I LOVE it!

The Outdoors Brought In: Illuminated Driftwood

In an effort to preserve a bit of our roof deck garden, I brought the driftwood planted with succulents indoors.   Its new home is on a dresser top in our master bath.  Illuminated  with Restoration Hardware's Starry String Lights, this summer remnant  now takes on a holiday flair.  Take a look:

These warm white LED starry string lights are battery powered and strung on bendable copper or silver wire so they are super easy to wrap around just about anything, anywhere, any time of year!  I just ordered two more sets.

Hard to believe it's the week before Christmas.  I have a few more holiday decor and punch bowl party images to share with you before the week's end.  Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season thus far.  We sure are!

Only one day left to enter to win a Cocoon Collective necklace designed by Natalia Szidon.
