I am taking a Christmas Decor Challenge!  Anyone want to try it with me?

Here’s my plan: I am going to try to decorate my front porch, living room, dining room, main floor bath and perhaps some touches in the kitchen while spending as little money as possible.  I will reinvent, reimagine and repurpose items I already own to create something fabulous and festive.

Ready? Set? Go!

Here’s my step number one:

We’re planning on getting a fence next year.  Lucky me, because that means I have a virtually unlimited number of cool branches available to me on the trees all along our property lines!  I chopped some off and laid them out on an old tarp.

Then after a quick coat of white spray paint (that I already had on hand), I put them in our garage to off gas, so they don’t stink up the house.

What’s step number two?

Well, I don’t want to give my whole plan away, but I will tell you that the branches are for our mantle and there will be some Christmas ornaments and objects left over from a friend’s party joining the branches for what I hope will be a crazy cool focal point for our Living Room.

So stay tuned as we all find out together whether I can stick to my own Christmas Decor Challenge!  And if anyone wants to take the Challenge too, let me know so we can share ideas and inspire each other!

Have a happy weekend!
