Living Room Makeover

Blue and Brown based on my favorite coffee mug.  I was scared at first but the chocolate glaze toned it down a lot.  Them we added the distressed stencil.  A few accents of red made it rich!  Not sure about the trim though.  May have to rethink that one!

Holly Wreath

I cut holly branches, pulled a wire hanger into a circle and used floral wire to attach the branches. So far the wreath still looks fresh after a week.  Painful though!  Must use gloves next time!
