Mod Mix Monday #79

A Mod Vintage Christmas

That's Steve's Christmas tree from last year at An Urban Cottage.
Isn't it wonderful?
I love seeing everyone's Christmas decor, don't you?

I am torn between doing my big white tree this year or my smaller green skimpy
tree that I love and have not put up in awhile.
It is similar to the one above.
I can't decide which I want to do
I had planned to have most of mine up by today but as usual life got in the way.
I don't know how many of you manage to get the things done that you get done
when you plan to have them done.
I keep getting my schedule interrupted by other people's plans.
So far this year...I've put up Christmas decorations for four places.
Yep, four trees for other people and none yet for me.

Today, I was to do my own...but when I went to have lunch with a friend's Mom
who is having health issues....I arrived to find all her Christmas decor
sitting in the middle of her living room.
She said. "We got it all out because I thought you could put it all up for me this afternoon."
Six hours later...I was done but too pooped to even start my own.

I also decorated for my friend Shannon M who is still bedridden at the moment.
We are hoping she will be up walking by Christmas.
Anyway...I decided she needed some Christmas decor in her living room even
if she didn't want a tree. So I did a big decorative garland around her tv armoire...
I had fun...did something I wouldn't do in my own home.
I'll try to take a photo this week.

Last week....I went to lunch with my friend Deidra and lunch turned into a power shopping session
and ended with me putting up HER tree and decorating it.

I'll tell the story of her tree later in the week.
I really need to take photos of it so you can see what I'm talking about.

Last year...I didn't do even one tree and this year I've done four and have yet to do mine.
All I can say is I'll try again tomorrow.

Here we go with last week's favorites from Mod Mix Monday.
There were some great holiday things included.

Jeri of Decorating Hemlock showed off her dining room makeover that included this creative hutch.

She married a painted dresser with the wire bins. Isn't it great?

Shanna of Restoration Redoux painted a vintage chandelier blue and hung it in her kitchen.

Very nice!

Scribbler Unfocused painted this desk and mirror in chartreuse.

This girl loves her color and I love how these now read as one unit.

It's wonderfully good.

Jen of City Farmhouse shared the how to for making these elegant coffee filter Christmas trees.

These ruffle trees are so inspiring...maybe I need to make some.

Kim of Reposhture had some left over dropcloth material lying around and became inspired
to make this holiday swag from it.
I can just imagine a whole wreath of this...or for that matter pillows and tablecloths or even tree decorations.

Ok, that's the wrap up.
I'll be back with the story of Deidra's Christmas tree and my own Christmas stuff
if I can ever decide green tree or white tree?
Anyone have an opinion?

Link up this week's projects below.

Remember anything old made over to be new...anything new changed up to look old.

New and old together...
