{DIY} Make a Lovely Table Tree Made of Felt
I finally received my December 2011 issue of Style at Home today in the mail, oh happy day! I recently saw an episode of Cityline showcasing how to make this simple and elegant table top tree and just had to share with you all. Isn’t it darling!
This project is pretty simple, all you need is the following:
- fabric pencil
- 3″ circle template
- designer felt
- scissors
- straight pins
- 18″ Styrofoam cone
And of course, instructions, they can be found here: Make a festive tabletop tree and also watch the video. I hope you’ll leave me a comment letting me know how this project went or even better, a link to you blog post strutting your stuff!

Holiday Gift Guide from Emily Henderson and Friends
Wow did I ever stumble upon a goodie today. I was visiting the lovely blog Decor Happy and read about a Holiday Gift Guide. So I clicked over to Emily Henderson’s website and voila, a beautiful and comprehensive Holiday gift guide has been put together. There are 216 pages to go through and a lot of lovely picks for everyone; women, men, kids, teens, co-eds, pets and of course my favorite, for the home. It’s really well put together from a collection of well-known bloggers… and best of all I’ve discovered an array of new shops out there! Looks like a spring issue is in the works too!
{Inspiration} The Dining Room Buffet
Needing some inspiration to jazz up your dining room? I need to do this myself and looking for inspiration. I found these amazing photos on flickr and wow, now where do I start is the question.
I luv this one, especially the dark contrast of the background with the white furniture, lighting and decor. I also like the playful hint of color with the red cups.
Ah, this picture shows the perfect way to mix different styles of old and new and giving a modern take. I’m in love withe buffet, it has such a glamorous feel. The art has a simplistic yet joyful tone to it, well done.
Don’t you just feel like sitting and staring at this room. This is one of my favorites. I enjoy the multiple art pieces in different shapes and frames, yet with a similar tone so not to over shadow each other. I also noticed there is a lot of white between the photos, I think this gives it a clean look.
Bring out the color! I’m not usually attracted to so much color all in one space, but this is a perfect example of doing color right. It really makes you happy looking at the vibrant furniture. The all white background plays the perfect role of the canvas in displaying the multitude of colorful accessories.
Well now I just need to start looking for a buffet, art, accessories… yikes, lots to do…
