More winterizing...

I have this perfect little window above the piano that I've been so excited to do something with since I moved in so I thought I'd found the perfect idea! Well, it ended up being too much going on up in the window so I moved things down to the top of the piano but I still really like the outcome!

The idea sparked when I was watched interior decorator Rebecca Robeson video "Christmas Decorating Home Tour for Christmas 2012".  She has amazing videos on decorating and designs some pretty ahh-mazing luxury homes. In her entertainment center she made this really neat piece with tree stuffers (it's around 3:30 in the video if you're interested) and I ran with it!

I bought some green styrofoam, tree stuffers (not sure if that's what they are really called), glitter and fake snow.

 Insert the tree stuffer into the styrofoam. I bought all the same tree stuffers because the selection was pretty limited if you don't want to spend all of your piggy bank.

Like I mentioned before my original plan was to set them in the window sill with some snow around them. But with the snowflakes hanging down from the ceiling it just got to be too much going on. I couldn't get the snow "just right" either so I brought out my wire baskets (LOVE the dollar section at Target!). I put the tree stuffers in first and then packed the snow around them. The finished it off with a dash of glitter. A little bit a glitter never hurts...


The end result! I feel like something is missing but haven't figured out exactly what.


Until next time...
