DIY Christmas tree trunk from a lamp base - Excellent thrift flip and trash to treasure all at once!

 

Using a sturdy lamp base for a Christmas tree trunk or base. You can find a little tree, or like I do in the video use the top of a bigger tree.

This idea is so versatile you can use any kind of lamp base, metal or wood, tall or small, fancy or plain. What to do with broken trees? Lots of folks throw out Christmas trees because the lights don't work or some of the pieces are missing. Just use the topper!! It makes the perfect size tree for these "stands." Tag me on Instagram if you do this simple project. Comment below if you plan to do it! #TrashToTreasure #ThriftFlip #WinterWonderland

Bookshelves decorated for Christmas Winter Wonderland-Imagine a walk in the snowy white woods

 

Check out how I am turning our home into a winter wonderland. After gathering all of the little and medium trees in my collection I decorated these bookshelves in a "walk in the woods" look. I had the two big churches that light up, and I added dollar tree houses painted white. I also added dollar tree figurines. A lot of these things I have just collected over the years. The entire time I decorated this I was singing in my head "In the meadow we can build a snowman... Name him Parson Brown. He'll say are you married, we'll say no man but you can do the job when your in town."

Mantelpiece and mirror decorate with me + Santa brings me furniture for my bare living room

 New Furniture? Thank you Santa Clause! Come along with me while I decorate my fireplace mantel and the mirror that hangs above it. This year Ive chosen a white and silver winter wonderland theme. The mantel has the nativity on it currently but is likely to change a handful of times through the season

Speaking of season, this is the first time EVER I have put Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving. Usually I even wait until the 2nd week of December. This year though, I needed it. Needed the bright lights, the soothing music, the wonderful smells of the season. Next video : Decorate the bookshelves in a winter wonderland that feels like a quiet midnight walk through the woods while its snowing. #Christmasdecoratewithme #ChristmasFireplace #SilverandwhiteChristmas
