The Dining rooom and entry way
We just got finished putting out our reindeer food and plenty of cookies and eggnog for Santa.
I hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas Eve with your families.
I wanted to wrap up the Christmas tour....here is our entry way.
It's open both to the dining room and the man space. (My Husbands room :))Here's a close up of the wreath on the back of the front door.
(I painted it last year)
Our Dining room
The REASON for the Season.
The cross was 0.99 at a thrift store, but was mirrored red. I took it apart and gave it a fresh coat of paint.
I made the burlap crown with hot glue and a clothes hanger. (Tutorial to follow) 
The angel wings were from old gold Christmas decor I painted.

The angel wings were from old gold Christmas decor I painted.I had all of the other items too, the apothecary jars cam e from a thrift store, the lantern came from a garage sale for $2.
These glittered feather ornaments came from the Dollar Tree.
I painted two red frames oil rubbed bronze. I used craft paper and dyed it with coffee, then stamped it with a ledger script stamp. I hot glued it inside the frames.
The sconces were originally 70's gold, and got revived with a tortoise shell finish.
I hot glued them onto the paper.
The arrangement is normally on the buffet. 
This fantastic verdigris metal planter was also a thrift store find!
The floral ball is actually dyed coffee filters on an old Halloween lantern.
A wire urn full of pine cones with my Grandparent's old flour scoop.
The numbers were stamped onto dyed paper, framed and put under a cheese dome with faux snow on a painted glass plate (originally clear, I bought it at the Dollar Tree).
The champagne bucket is filled with antique looking silver ornaments.

Here is a view of the other side of my dining room.

More than your decorating abilities, I love that you share your love for the Lord on here as well.
Thank you! Thanks for sharing your gift, talent, imagination.
You have one of the most elegant homes I have ever seen in my entire life!
Keep up the excellent work!!
I looked at your pics and almost left. I thought, "This is out of reach for me."
But, I stopped. And, read. Wow. I'm going to go through your recent posts - hoping to find how you did the tortoise shell on the scones. And, how you did the coffee filters. And, I can't wait to see how you stripped the paint from the ornaments! Ingenious!
LOVE, love, love your work!
