Boring to Better Party #5 and Christmas in the Sunroom

I hope everyone isn't tired of seeing Christmas in my house. Tis the season and I have a lot of rooms and it would be too much in one post. Today it is the sun room filled with Christmas cheer. I wanted to make the sunroom fun and colorful since my grand girls are coming and they are in this room a lot. You will notice some shots are daytime and some at night.



Filled this vintage Pepsi crate with ornaments and vintage items.








Placed this small tree on this side table and hung outside themed ornaments on it.


Used red burlap as a tree skirt.











A fairy watches over everything.








Cheap lighted boxes that I purchased last year and added some ribbon to.


























Another fairy watching from this wreath.





A bit vintage and a bit magical at night.


Bailey likes it our here, too!

Now show me what you got this week.
Christmas decor or projects are welcome the month of December!!
You do not have to have before shots.

Please post your intended post and not your entire blog.
Please link back to this party so others can find it and join in.
I hope you will become a follower if you aren't one yet.
Try to visit and mingle with some of the other guests.

Now let's have fun!!

Karen said...

Beautifully done, Kim. You know... I FINALLY FOUND a Coke Crate like your pepsi crate...unfortunately, someone tried turning it into a wagon and it looked terrible. It was butchered too, no salvaging it. *sigh* So the hunt continues.

I added my link this morning. Wasn't sure if it would qualify for before and after.

We are headed to Mo Botanical Garden today and it is going to be a very chilly walk!!

Kim the room is SO perfect! I just love it. Sure wish I had a porch or sunroom to decorate for the holidays. Your grandkids are going to love it. I hope I haven't confused everybody by changing the name of my blog to "New England Style" instead of "Michelle Jamieson Interiors"... but just wanted to let you know that it's 'ME'. I hope to have a post to link to your party by the end of the day!

Kim, I could never tire of seeing all the wonderful things you do in your beautiful home. Everything coordinates so nicely from room to room & it all looks so warm & inviting!

I joined your party today for the first time, since I didn't need "before" photos. I can never seem to remember to take them. ~insert rolled eyes~

I have 2 things waiting for me to paint them ORB but its only 24º outside so they'll have to wait. Brrrr! Wait till you see my snow pictures in a few days...wowzers, did we get dumped on!!

Thanks for hosting this fun meme. I enjoy going through all the links. I wish I could play more often but I'm not as creative as you!

It is always so pretty at your house. I think I need to dig out my old 7-up crate that was on the porch this fall and bring it inside. That looks great! I think I'm done with the decorating. I have 2 little grands coming this weekend and I am wondering how much will survive the little wild ones.
