Christmas in July!

When you only have one sale per year, not only do you have to appeal to the masses, but you have to cover each holiday as well! Sometimes when you look at a piece, you might not know what you're going to do with it, but you may have a certain holiday in mind...

Last week I showed you this piece, in my "name that junk" post....

No definate answers, but some good ideas. No matter. I thought it was cool and had a vision that included fresh greenery, candle light, and shiny, reflective baubles.

That was the before, this is the after:



After a couple rounds with some white spray paint, and some "distress" sanding it was starting to look like exactly what I had envisioned.

I found some chunky glass votive or tea light holders that fit perfectly in the holes.

For some added elevation and bling to tie in with the glass balls, I added some cut glass knobs that I had in my stash.

Some freshly plucked Juniper berries fit nicely in the otherwise vacant holes...

This mix of textures is pleasing to the eye...

Almost makes me anxious for Christmas.....but I'll wait!

Have a great weekend!
