Wordless Wednesday: My bloggy helper

Merry Christmas!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! Remember the true meaning of CHRISTmas, isn't about what's nestled under the tree, but the gift Christ gave to us all! 

I spy with my little eye...

My aunt asked me after I got off work today to run over to a thrift store with her to check out some dining room tables. Everything in the store is 50% off. EVERYTHING!!!!  We didn't find any dining room tables that hit our fancy but, here are a few beauties I found walking around the store. Now you may think, uuummm those are hideous! And to the untrained eye that may be true. ;) But envision if you will... 

Sanded and refinished in a darker stain, or painted a crisp bright white.

Now I seriously was considering buying this, I literally asked the guy how much it was originally $44 but remember everything was half off so it was $22! I texted my husband to see if he liked it and told the guy I'd get back to him, while I was doing that another woman swooped in and bought it! OH SNAP! Gone right before my very eyes. Single tear* Oh well, it wasn't meant to be, plus by the time my husband got back to me, he ended up not liking it. {I even told him to look past the hideous paint job}. So I guess it ended up being for the best, but definitely learned my lesson. Strike when the iron is hot, or you'll miss out on an amazing opportunity.

 Dear woman who stole my dresser, you better strip that baby down to the original wood grain, stain it a beautiful deep walnut color, and line the drawers with cute wallpaper remnants or scrap booking paper. Because that's totally what I would have done. And if you don't, you don't deserve such a diamond in the rough!  

Reupholstered in a nice linen fabric.

Gorgeous secretary desk, spray paint handles with ORB {oil rubbed bronze} and stained a darker color.

Either of these would be beautiful painted a shade of white

Or these...

Oh goodness, I think I need to go back and do another walk through and take some of these home with me!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... {around the Little Miss Vintage house}

I have always enjoyed decorating for Christmas, ever since I was a little girl. This Christmas will be especially great because it is the first year we will be spending it in our first home and with baby e. I can't wait to have him wake up Christmas morning and open all his presents, even if he has no idea what they are for, being 11 months old and all. But none the less, we're still very excited. Here is a look at all the decorating going on at our house this year. Although I haven't quite finished all my holiday projects I thought I would still share what I have done so far. Enjoy!

The mantel 

The Armoire done up nicely with the wreaths I made here.

 And of course, I couldn't forget to show off the tree. We have a very rustic and traditional theme to our Christmas decor, but I hope to change that come the day after Christmas. *wink, wink.

We bought this cutie after we found out we were having a little boy last Christmas time at the Gentle House Christmas Bazaar. 

I'm in love with these red sparkling ornaments, they remind me of Dorothy's ruby red slippers!

GO DUCKS!!!!!!! Bring home that national title!!!!

So there is a story behind this angel ornament, my husband grew up having a very tacky beautiful angel tree topper. Apparently he is very sentimental and insisted we get one, {he doesn't like my cute, rustic, willow branch, star, and berry number. I refuse to have an angel tree topper, don't get me wrong I love the symbolism and all, but have you seen a cute one? NO. So in honor of my husband I found this quirky felt ornament at a craft bazaar, and couldn't pass it up. The smile he had when I showed it to him was so worth it.  

Have a very Merry Christmas, and a blessed New Year. Jesus is the reason for the season! Love, The Little Miss Vintage Family
