The holidays are over and it's a new year so I thought it was time to revisit this abandoned bit of internet space and reconnect with my friends. I hate that I lost touch with you all. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">Last year was a crazy year - I'm sure you all will agree and I'm hoping to return to some normalcy this year if possible thus - a return to writing and sharing all things vintage, crafty and fun. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">So, today I thought I would start with a really easy, fun, and cute little vintage heart that you can use for your tiered trays, holiday trees, baskets, or just sit on your shelves for some cuteness. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: courier; font-size: large;">These are easy to do and you can have a whole basket of them done in no time - and... the best part is you can use things you probably have lying around the house.</span></div><div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ky6Ui70JLTo/YBXRFQf1-nI/AAAAAAAAPlc/rOm5RqKa2qwirHsO0XgqMxVR0R7oN5pgwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1169/IMG_7068.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1169" data-original-width="1000" height="376" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ky6Ui70JLTo/YBXRFQf1-nI/AAAAAAAAPlc/rOm5RqKa2qwirHsO0XgqMxVR0R7oN5pgwCLcBGAsYHQ/w359-h376/IMG_7068.jpg" width="359"></a></div><br><span></span><a href="http://www.vintagepaintandmore.com/2021/01/diy-vintage-hearts-hello-hello-hello.html#more">Click here to see the rest...</a>Vintage Paint and more...http://www.blogger.com/profile/15063907731559066211noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6685942662045998201.post-53747168483261951102019-06-26T17:29:00.001-04:002019-12-16T16:41:38.934-05:00DIY Beach House Sign<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It's a beautiful morning and I am sitting on the back porch enjoying the sun and breezes we get here. I love that I can sit out here and work to the sound of the birds, the waterfall and the chimes - such sweet music to work with - if we could just have it year round. Ahh, yes...</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Today, I thought I would share the Beach House sign I made for our Spring/Summer mantel with you. I am all about keeping things as simple as I can so I used Chalk Couture's chalk paste and transfer to make a sign that would I would be able to use through both seasons.</span><br>

Sunny blue skies, ocean breezes, and hot, hot temps. That means it's time for me to change our Spring mantel to a Summer mantel. I love changing my decor but, I want it to be as easy and quick as I can make it. So, switching the Spring mantel over just took a couple of changes and it was done in less than 30 minutes. This is how it looks for summer.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">If you have been following me for a while you have noticed how I have become completely obsessed with Chalk Couture's transfers, chalk paste, and couture inks. I mean TOTALLY in love with this new quick and easy way to craft beautiful home decor and crafts. And, by easy, I'm saying in just minutes you can have a finished project done and ready to display or give away. So, when Chalk Couture announced it's new monthly subscription box I knew I had to share it with you all.</span><br>

It's such a chilly, grey, rainy day here at the beach and on days like this, I would love to grab a cup of coffee, wrap up in a warm blanket and veg out on the sofa watching Netflix or reading a great book. But, since I discovered Chalk Couture I find myself wanting to play with all the fun stuff they have. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Check out this adorable little piece I made for my great granddaughter's room. I love how it turned out - and that I am able to customize each piece for the person I am making it for. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Usually, in January I go into a depressive funk - all the excitement of the holidays has passed and let's face it January can be quite a dreary month weather wise also. It takes me forever to get into the mojo of doing something fun. But, this year with Chalk Couture I am not having that particular problem. Oh, my Christmas tree and all the decor is still up and I have no thoughts of taking them down anytime soon but, I am having such fun playing with all the great Chalk Couture products I have. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">That time when the hustle and bustle of the holiday season are at its peak - decorating, shopping, baking - all the activities that bring us together with family and friends to celebrate in our own special ways. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our family - cooking, eating, watching football, eating and well, you get the picture... probably much like your holiday also. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Now that Thanksgiving is over it's time to take down all that wonderful Fall decor and concentrate on the Christmas decor. I love Fall and hate to see it go but I also love Christmas and love creating a Christmas Wonderland in our home each year. So, this week I am going to be quite busy doing just that. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">But, before I do any decorating each year I plan out what I want to do and begin making a lot of my decor. I love putting a handmade touch to each and every vignette I make. And, with the discovery of Chalk Couture that has been made even easier for me to do. I am able to create a beautiful piece in no time - I'm talking minutes - compared to the hours I used to spend before. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It's a new system of silkscreen transfers, chalk paste, inks, and surfaces that are taking the craft industry by storm. Their transfers are quite trendy - as you can see above - easy to use and can be done in just minutes. I am in love with the product and the way the finished project turns out - perfection.</span></div>

<i style="background-color: #fafefb; color: #5b5b5b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 22.4px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">**This post contains a partnership with Brightech, I was provided with a light and am giving my honest review of it. All opinions and text are my own.**</span></i></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">As you all know I do lots of different types of crafts to share with you and many of them have very detailed up close work that has to be done. As I have gotten older, it has gotten increasingly difficult to see that very detailed work due to the normal aging process of my eyes. Many times I have to get the strongest light I can find and magnifier glasses to see what I am doing. So, when Brightech contacted me and asked if I would like to try one of their magnifier lamps I was ecstatic. Following is a review of what I received.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I chose the LightView Rolling Base Magnifier Light. I liked the fact that it was on a base that could be rolled about to the different areas I work in. I am constantly moving about the house to do my projects and needed something that was easy to take with me. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0N-zKXggAZw/W8HifZJvErI/AAAAAAAAOzs/gHejqX3vAfouyYeZYQmXwJZAqd6vjYiOgCEwYBhgL/s1600/light%2Bbase.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Vintage Paint and more... weighted rolling base for magnifier light" border="0" data-original-height="684" data-original-width="650" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0N-zKXggAZw/W8HifZJvErI/AAAAAAAAOzs/gHejqX3vAfouyYeZYQmXwJZAqd6vjYiOgCEwYBhgL/s400/light%2Bbase.jpg" title="Vintage Paint and more... Brightech Magnifier Light" width="380" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This light is on a very sturdy, weighted base that takes up very little floor space - so very important to me as sometimes I am working in a small cramped space. It has 6 wheels on the base that move quite easily from tile to wood to carpet keeping it steady so it doesn't tip - this is also a very important feature for me as I move about the house. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It stands about 5' tall when it's fully extended. It has a flexible and multi-jointed arm that can be arched at an angle or raised to about 34" staying where you place it - quite versatile in its ability to adapt to your area. Below I am using it while doing some fabric flowers in my comfy chair in the family room. But, I can easily roll it to my craft table, kitchen table, or even out to my porch when I want to enjoy the cooler weather. I love that I can take it wherever I feel like working that day.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The magnified portion has a large area for you to see what you are doing. It actually magnifies up to 225% - that's a lot of magnification for those tiny little areas I work in - like the 22-count counted cross-stitch I like to do or the very tiny detailed painting and lettering. It also has a dust cover to protect the magnifier glass from dust and scratches.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The magnifier lamp is amazing with its ability to go from reading to working on intricate projects with just the touch of a finger. The light will last up to 100,000 hours and has 60,000 miniature LED lights that produce the amount of brightness you need without generating any heat. This is a big plus for me - as my photography lights generate enough heat without adding more from another light.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The light arrived in just 2 days after Brightech notified me of their shipping it. It arrived in a very carefully packed box - I was actually impressed with all the packaging. It is quite simple to set up - I was able to put it together in less than 5 minutes time. I love the overall look of it - the white fits in with our decor so well that I don't mind leaving it sitting in whatever room I am working. It doesn't look like a piece of equipment. I'd also like to mention Brightech offers a 5-year warranty on this light.</span></div>

You can check it out <b><a href="https://brightechshop.com/?a_aid=5bad143b1a049" target="_blank">here</a> </b>and if you decide you would like one for yourself I would appreciate if you would use my affiliate link: <a href="https://brightechshop.com/?a_aid=5bad143b1a049" target="_blank">https://brightechshop.com/?a_aid=5bad143b1a049</a> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Hi everyone. I have a furniture makeover for you today that I love. It's a kitchen table and chairs that went from "Oh, my!" to "Oh, how pretty!"</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h3DRSGTBloU/W2OPcaGUWPI/AAAAAAAAOqk/Hfu3pPXxIrY_CVBDLOAXAjZBrubodH_8QCLcBGAs/s1600/kitchenette%2Bmakeover%2Bb.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Vintage Paint and more... an awesome makeover done to a thrift store table and chairs with just some black chalkboard paint and some black and cream buffalo plaid fabric" border="0" data-original-height="880" data-original-width="660" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h3DRSGTBloU/W2OPcaGUWPI/AAAAAAAAOqk/Hfu3pPXxIrY_CVBDLOAXAjZBrubodH_8QCLcBGAs/s640/kitchenette%2Bmakeover%2Bb.jpg" title="Vintage Paint and more... Kitchen Table and Chairs Makeover" width="480" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">When we moved into this home we needed to purchase another table and chairs set. We have always lived in homes that have galley kitchens - no space to eat in. Therefore, we always ate in our dining rooms. But, this house has an eat-in area in the kitchen that required a table and chairs we did not have. So began our search for the perfect set. And, of course, we found the perfect one in a thrift store.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Doesn't look like much, does it? We fell in love with it. It's probably an old patio set that had a glass top at one time. It's made of steel and the seats are some kind of "faux" leather that was peeling. The backs of the chairs had a gold design that looked a bit dated.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This is a close-up of the chair seats and the gold design on the backs.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Todd made a wood top for the table first. However, he did not attach it at this time. It actually had to wait while I worked on the table and chairs. First I painted all the metal with my trusty black<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I8061DS/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01I8061DS&linkCode=as2&tag=vpm49-20&linkId=353da8d6479fec2e296dda1c745c6245" target="_blank"> chalkboard paint</a>. <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=vpm49-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B01I8061DS" style="border: none; margin: 0px;" width="1" />This is my go-to paint for everything. I love the finish I get from it a true mat black with a lot of depth. The only prep I did was to wash them good with soap and water. It took 3 coats of paint to cover them well. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This is one of the chairs after being painted and the seat covered. I found the fabric at Hobby Lobby and used my 40% off coupon on it. It only took 1 yard to do all four chairs. I love how the plaid just makes this chair pop.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Now the wood top became a real problem for me. I stained it with some dark stain we had on hand and absolutely hated the outcome. I was really afraid I was going to have to paint it because it looked so bad. So I went over it with a gray stain to try to get to what I wanted - which I can't even explain. Well, that wasn't really what I wanted either. So, Todd got busy and mixed some stains and played around with it and finally came up with what we have. I really like the top now. It's fairly dark which I felt this set needed to go with the black base. After we finally got the color we wanted I gave it 4 coats of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017NNJYBW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B017NNJYBW&linkCode=as2&tag=vpm49-20&linkId=fcd7c039fa3d5be0dba6c25306b4395a" target="_blank">Minwax Polycrylic Protective Sealer</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="//ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=vpm49-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B017NNJYBW" style="border: none; margin: 0px;" width="1" />. I used 4 coats just to be sure it was protected as we were going to be using this table a lot.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I love this table and chairs now and it really makes this corner so cozy. We use it all the time - so much easier than taking everything into the dining room for our meals.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This has become my favorite corner of our home now. I love sitting here and having my morning coffee and working on my computer. And, I love having an eat-in kitchen for the first time in our lives. Such a convenient place for our small family meals. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I love coffee. I mean it is my go-to beverage any time of day morning - noon - or night. And I love to have cute little coffee mugs to drink it from - they just make it so much more special. So when I saw the transfers that Chalk Couture had I knew I had to turn some of them into pretty little mugs for my morning coffee time. They are so cute and so easy to make. Check them out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Living in the South we spend a lot of time in our outdoor spaces. I like to have these spaces look inviting and cozy. I do this with paint, fabrics, and plants. One of the easiest ways I have found to refresh our outdoor spaces is to update and upcycle your old flower pots. I love to refresh ours with paint and do so almost every year. Today I thought I would share with you some of the makeovers I have done as well as some of my blogger friends. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Summer is here and school will be ending this week. That means lots of busy days with activities and family fun and celebrations. One of the events we look forward to each summer is 4th of July. Our family just loves to get together grill, swim and sit out under the stars to watch the fireworks. It's such a fun time for each of us. So, today I thought I would share one of the Patriotic 4th of July wreaths I just made. </span></div>

I have a great project I want to share with you. I was going through some pictures the other day and realized I had never shared my china cabinet makeover with you. I can't believe I forgot because it is really one of my favorite projects. Here's a picture of how it looks right now.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I love the black with the pop of blue on the inside - it makes it such a trendy farmhouse piece now. And, although it took me a while to finish - it really was a simple process.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">So, let me share with you how I achieved the finished look.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Spring has definitely arrived here at the beach. On Sunday they opened our community pool and Miss A just had to jump in - of course, she was the only one that was brave enough to do so. The temperature was 62* - a little too cool for me - but, she loved it!. I think it will be closer to mid July before I try jumping in... Last week I shared our sunny Spring <a href="https://www.vintagepaintandmore.com/2018/03/spring-mantel-done-in-blue-and-yellow.html" target="_blank"><b>blue and yellow mantel</b></a> with you so, today I thought I would share a cute little blue and yellow Spring wreath in a frame you can make to go with your Spring decor. This project is so simple and easy - you can have it done in about 30 minutes. Isn't it just too cute!</span><br>

It seems like this has been the longest winter for us even though we did not have the mounds of snow and sub-zero temps that many of you had. So, to celebrate this I put together a pretty blue and yellow Spring Mantel. I love how it brings so much color and cheerfulness to this room. </span><br>

I have them everywhere. Some I have created from thrift store finds such as old framed pictures,<b> <a href="http://www.vintagepaintandmore.com/2013/06/black-and-white-chalkboard.html">mirrors</a></b>, canvases, and plates; but, I have also added chalkboards to some pieces of <a href="http://www.vintagepaintandmore.com/2012/07/armoir.html"><b>furniture</b></a> I have redone and even turned a<b> </b><a href="http://www.vintagepaintandmore.com/2014/02/kitchen-communication-center.html"><b>kitchen wall</b> </a>into a chalkboard - that's how much I love them. However, I am unable to do the beautiful chalk art I see all over Pinterest that makes me swoon. It takes me hours and hours just to do a bit of stenciled lettering on one. So, to say I fell madly in love with this amazing product I just found would be an understatement. I. AM.IN.LOVE!! I can now do those amazing chalkboards I see all the time, AND... in just a few minutes - instead of hours and hours of stressing over one to get it perfect.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">What is the secret I have discovered to making easy chalkboard art, you ask... Chalk Couture. You can create your own masterpiece, no matter what your crafting ability is .... over and over again. It's as easy as 1-2-3 and you have beautiful customized decor for your home that you have created yourself. And, if you decide you want to change it in a few days, weeks or months - just wipe it off and make a new customized piece. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This is a method using transfers, pastes, and inks to turn your boards from boring to amazing. It is such an easy process that anyone can use them with picture-perfect results every time that last forever - or, if you decide you don't want that particular design anymore you just wash it off and start all over with a new design. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">So versatile - you can change it out to fit your mood, the weather or the holidays. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">These chalks and inks can be used on almost any surface except plastic. Just imagine customizing your own decor using these products. I am thinking of chalkboards, art canvas, furniture (painted or stained), glass, fabric, tin, wood farmhouse signs - whatever you can dream you can make. Not only can you use it for your home decor but also for gifts for friends and family. Such a fun and versatile product that can be used over and over again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It's a beautiful day here today - the sun is bright and the temps are in the low 60's. Spring is just around the corner and I, for one cannot wait for her to get here. It seems this has been a very long winter - even at the beach. I know I have not been blogging much but, I have taken this time to do some reading and studying. I have been learning how to make deco mesh wreaths and beautiful chalkboards. I can hardly wait to start sharing all the awesome new crafts and techniques I have been working on. I think you are going to love them as much as I have making them. So, today I am going to share this beautiful Beachy Deco Mesh Wreath I just finished.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I really don't do much in the way of decorating for Valentine's day but sometimes I find something that sparks my creativeness and I just have to try it. And, nothing sparks that creativeness better than finding some forgotten thrift store pieces when cleaning out your craft closet. So, today I'm going to share how I took some of those items and turned them into a pretty little Vintage Valentine Wall Art.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">With all the wintry weather we have gotten this year, I thought it would be appropriate to make a winter wreath for our front door. This was a very simple project that took very little time - using items I had lying around the house. A flat white styrofoam wreath form and some cream colored yarn are the base of this winter wreath. The rest is just bits and pieces I had in my craft stash. It's a fun project that is easily done while watching your favorite Netflix programs. And, it makes your front door just a little more inviting during these cold wintry days as you can see below. Let's get on with the very simple instructions so you can make one for your front door.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I'm writing this today as I sit next to the warm fireplace listening to the wind chimes tinkling outside. It is a cold and windy day here for us as well as for many of you. We are having a winter we usually do not experience here in the South. Freezing temps in the teens (breaking records), measurable snow lasting 3-4 days (almost unheard of), and ice that closes down schools and stores keeping us all hibernating in our homes. So, when I began taking down the Christmas decorations this week ( yes, I am quite slow this year), I decided to just embrace this season and put together a winter mantel with my DIY pom-pom yarn wreath and a few other snow-related items.</span><br>

Every year I spend a couple of days baking cookies and making candies with my grandkids - this is one of our fondest traditions. When they were young they would help as they could with the stirring, the cutting out of cookies and putting the sprinkles and colored sugars on the cookies. I remember how much fun they would have decorating those cookies and making them "perfect". We even tried the gingerbread house making a few times - with our share of house disasters, lol. Now, that they are young adults, they do most of the baking and I do the sprinkling of colored sugars while enjoying the time spent with them. We drink lots of coffee and hot chocolate and laugh and talk and reminisce about past cookie baking days. It is a day we all look forward to.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">What a difference a couple of days can make - Monday we were having beautiful warm, sunny, 70* weather and today it's raining and absolutely freezing - the temp was 32* this morning. No wonder our family has the sniffles. And, I saw snow is falling in some of our most southern states - so crazy. But, at least it looks and feels like Christmas now.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Also, on Monday I shared our <a href="http://www.vintagepaintandmore.com/2017/12/how-to-create-rustic-farmhouse.html" target="_blank"><b>Rustic Christmas Mantel</b></a><b> </b>with you and promised I would give you the tutorial on how to create the rustic wood BELIEVE sign that is sitting on it. This is a fairly easy project that can be done in one afternoon as long as you plan ahead for the drying of paint.</span><br>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I like to change up our Christmas decor a bit each year by moving things around and making new vignettes. But, this year I really wanted to change it up a lot and decided to go in a whole new direction in our family room. I have used the same decor for several years and was really wanting a new look. So, before Thanksgiving, I started looking around and getting some ideas. I fell in love with red and black buffalo plaid fabric and if you've been following me you've seen a couple of projects I've made using it already. So, I built my family room Christmas decor around that fabric and today I am going to share my Rustic farmhouse Christmas mantel with you.</span><br>

A DIY Farmhouse Christmas Wreath made with a buffalo plaid deer head and a yarn wreath - rustic farmhouse to the max.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br>
