Easy DIY Faux Jadeite Ornaments

Whose already decking the halls? I am! Over the past few weeks I have been pulling my Christmas decor out in anticipation for the most wonderful time of year. I have also been doing a lot of crafting
for this holiday season.

With my love for jadeite and wanting to add to my jadeite collection but not wanting to spend a lot of money last year I attempted to make some jadeite colored ball ornaments for Christmas, the ones where you just squirt the craft paint in the ornament and swoosh it all around. I loved the idea but in the end they mostly turned out to be a hot mess with peeling paint and what not so I never shared. A definite Pinterest fail! LOL.

This year I spied some jadeite colored milk glass ornaments that I fell in love with but with not wanting to spend $13 an ornament my DIY brainstorming began. I would post a pic of my inspiration but I do not want to get fussed at from the company that makes them. Once you see what I came up with you may know which ornaments caught my eye.

Christmas In The Breakfast Nook Part 1

Who is still busy decking the halls? I started just before Halloween and thought that was a good start but here I am with only a few areas completed and it is now December! I am a hopper and can never seem to stay focused on just one area. How about y'all? I have managed though to complete the open shelving in our breakfast nook. I took so many pictures that I am breaking the open shelving up into two posts. 

I have to tell y'all I was so excited to deck the halls in our breakfast nook! It is the first holiday season since it's makeover and I had so much fun going all out with the holiday decor. I want our home to feel warm and inviting to where when you walk around you just can't help but to smile because of all the holiday cheer up in here. 

Breakfast Nook Fall Cabinet Vignettes

We spent last Sunday working out in the garage. I had multiple boxes of home decor that was still boxed up from our move...almost three years ago. In all honesty most of the boxes were filled with dinnerware that I had packed extra well so there was not all that much in each box. Neighbors walked by asking if we were getting ready for a yard sale. LOL. Nope just unpacking from the move. :)
