Pumpkin Revamp
I’m not the best at outside holiday decor. We always do the usual wreaths with red ribbons on the windows and the classic single candle as well. The first thing I had to do was clear the stage of many pumpkins I still had hanging around. My white heirloom pumpkins were still in great shape and I hated to throw them away! Since I had 3 I decided to make a snowman!
So here he is sitting on my turquoise bench out front. 3 white pumpkins stacked got a hat and scarf and a sharpie face and two stick arms!
- and White!
I’ve got the BIGGEST holly bush ever, so I’ve used fresh holly everywhere and tucked in some white bright glittery words!
- Outside Decor
My house sign is still holding up beautiful in the elements thanks to a coat of Annie Sloan Clear Wax!
- Simple.Simple.
I’ve got my simple wreath with my big red “T” and a bow on the door too!
So there you have it a few outside pictures from sunny and still pretty warm NC!
I’m just about done inside so I’ll be sharing more soon!!

My Tree Is UP!
I’ve been very busy decorating!! The first thing I did was put the tree up! I went back to the artificial tree this year after having a real one for 2 years. Tough choice, I love a real tree, but at 11:15 last Tuesday night I suddenly wanted the tree up and started! First time I’ve ever put my tree up before Thanksgiving EVER!
Added Embellishments!
This year I added some more to my tree. This is my third year with my brown, burlap, green and white tree theme. I’m in love with all things white, so I added quite a bit of white to my tree. Since I’ve been working in the land of Christmas Bliss at Total Bliss this season I feel like I had to take my tree up a notch! I added 8 of these big huge fluffy snowballs. They are great “filler” for those artificial tree “gaps”…hate those things! I also added several of fun little white signs with words on them, and some fabulous snowy white picks all over the tree!
My Favorite Thing
I’m going to have to say that one of my favorites on the tree this year are these big gray driftwood looking balls. I got these in the mountains a few weeks ago for $3.99 each! A great deal because I can use them year round somewhere in the house! They are tucked all over the tree…again filling in the “gaps”!
The final view
So here she is! I gotta say the photo does not do the tree justice! I’m loving it! I’ve got lots more decor to share!
Most of the things on my tree I have gotten at Total Bliss over the last few years. You can’t have everything you want at once. Each year I have added what I can afford. It is best to get a few high impact items and embellish them with smaller, lower priced things. Nice ribbon can go a long way too! Mix it in with stuff you have, it changes up what you have and makes it feel brand new!
