Grow Me. Grow You.

Christmas Beautiful.

We were at my sister Heidi's house over Thanksgiving and she had her house decorated for Christmas.  She has the most beautiful house - she's also the best decorator I know.  She buys beautiful things for her home but she also buys things from thrift stores and makes them look like they are very expensive. 

She painted this armoire red and rubbed some black glaze over it.  I was with her when she bought it and I can't believe the difference!!  She also painted the knobs black.

For breakfast, Heidi had a beautiful spread.  She got a bunch of these vintage milk containers, cleaned and bleached them, and put different drinks in them for breakfast-egg nog, orange juice, chocolate milk, and the Naked mango drink.

She has these trees in a corner, by their window.  They have a view of the whole valley and city.

Love this coffee table.

She made the coffee filter tree.  Click HERE to see how to make it yourself.  She also made a coffee filter wreath (on the same blog site) for her sister-in-law that just had twins.

I saw HERE how to make a coffee filter light.  We're going to put it in our white beach-themed bedroom.

Lindt chocolate.  Yum.

Like this funky gold deer.

Place Cards.  I found this idea online and wanted to share with you.  We had two Thanksgivings (one with Carleton's side of the family and one with mine).  These next two pictures were taken at my parents' cabin.  We found the pine cones here in CA.  For Thanksgiving, I left them the plain brown color and for Christmas, I'm going to dip them in red paint and make a garland.
