Re-decorating

I love re-decorating our home....changing things up....moving things around.

However, on a budget, this is challenging to do - especially with my love of useful junk and antiques!

I was picking Jessie up from a friends house last week after a sleepover - this mom has the coolest house - lots of primitive decor but very sparse and not cluttered at all, but one thing I saw that I loved was in her entryway, she had an old bench with about 10 crocks on it.  And she had a buffet with crocks underneath it.

Now I don't have an "entryway" or a buffet, but I think I have the next best thing!

Our TV stand is actually an old desk that I brought off of my SIL many years ago - I think for around $25.00.  And for the longest time (since we moved into this house in 1998, I've had my Longaberger basket on the shelf....


But I just happened to have 3 large crocks scattered throughout the house.  They don't match in the least, but I'm thinking that is the charm here....


I'm thinking I need to find some sort of berry garland to place around them, and maybe some white lights?

But....I know I have several strands (if that is what you call them) of berry garland somewhere in this house, and I believe one of them is battery operated with lights, so I just might wait until I find them....


And in the meantime, I have something just a little bit different!  That also didn't cost me a dime......

I love a fresh, clean look after all the holiday decorations are put away! Love the crocks :)

Hope your holidays were wonderful and all is well with you & yours, Kris!

That's the best thing, it not costing anything! I think it looks great! Changing things up can be fun!
