FRESH vs. FAKE
I couldn't decide which to use so I used both!
They make my home smell great and I was able to use a cheap lit-up garland I had on hand with a fresh cedar garland and I was very happy with the results!
(Eddie Ross gave this great tip of mixing greenery here)
The fake garland makes a great backdrop filler for the fresh garland.

You gotta love those Costco wreaths!
Not only are they pretty inexpensive but they are gorgeous!
I added some glitter and paint to the pine cones and berries and wove in a few fake boxwood sprigs here and there around the silver glass candlesticks and ornaments from Target.
**Note to self...do not use glass ornaments next time. The fireplace is not shatterproof!**
Running short of the fresh greenery...I grabbed some from my backyard...there's a bunch and it's free!

Remember all those mismatched frames from the Model Home furnishing sale?
Can you believe this was in the unwanted/almost free section!?
I don't think anyone could get past the urn pictures.
After a quick trip to a glass shop I now have a new mirror.
I was really happy with how it turned out plus it was much less than buying a new mirror of that size.
Hanging that mirror was so hard! It is definitely a two person job.
I hope my husband doesn't peek behind there and see a dozen holes in the wall....oops!:)
I gotta keep moving on....I still have to put the tree up!
Nicole and I have a couple of fun Christmas projects to share soon...yay the two of us!
If only there were more hours in the day!

Ooo, it looks so pretty!! I love the smell of fresh greenery, but the fake stuff lasts so much longer. Good idea using both!
looks great candance!! it's beautiful!
I know right, I seriously need like at least 10 more hours in my day!!
LOVE that you used the faux garland to fill in the fresh, great idea! And I would have never guessed that old frame was transformed into a fabulous new mirror.
