using different lengths of some green ribbon.
So over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing with you some of my projects for “Christmas in a Flash!”.Little things that I’ve come up with that give me the satisfaction of Christmas crafting, while still letting me do important things like packing hospital bags, sleeping, and eating.
has also been coming up with a few more manly decorating ideas that I’m hoping to get to share with you too.Things that involve specific gauges of wire, and copper piping and stuff like that.Keep an eye out for those!.
So this mason jar.I’ve seen quite a few of those DIY mercury glass type jars around, and I love those, but I do still have to lay off the spray paint for a few more weeks, so I thought it might be fun to try out some gold this time around..
I started off with one of these leftover from some pasta sauce..
I added three coats of this stuff with a little paintbrush.So now I have a room that I love and that feels just right for our family right now, even if we do still have peel n stick tile over the hardwood for now (which we’ve patched up), a drop ceiling (for some reason) and paneled walls (not the good kind).. My last rule is that I have to keep adding little things to the room here and there on an ongoing basis and moving things around.
Shiny new distractions and having favorite items turn up in different places goes a long ways to distracting the eye from all those not-so-favorite parts of the room.. I’m even pretty sure that I won’t lose my mind if we don’t get the floor refinished in here in the next year.. …which is saying a lot for this impatient girl!.Do you have an ugly room that you’ve learned to love?
What are you tricks?.You can find my complete-ish paint color and source list for this room.
