I love the mixture of green hydrangeas, white lunch bag flowers {tutorial found here}, white milk glass vases & the pop of green, red, and aqua colors.
Rather than making a fabric banner, I opted to use clothespins and hang pinecones and dangle these cute little grey bearded Santas from Ikea.
Trust me, having that silly tv hanging up as per my husband's 'one of a few requests,' I could do wonders with this area. Ahh, I visualize old windows, shutters, & even big tall clear vases filled with pretties.
thanks for letting me share :)
