Happy Wednesday! Welcome to the Christmas Traditions Blog Tour!
I am excited to be here with some of the most talented bloggers I know. We are each taking a day this week to tell you about our Christmas Traditions.
If you are here from visiting Carrie at Lovely, Etc. a VERY special welcome to YOU!
I love traditions at Christmas Time.
How has your week been going? Mine? Well, it could be a LITTLE better, but overall, I would say I am very blessed. I am happy to be here with you today. I KNOW you will love my idea to Use a Large Shelf or Mantel in Place of a Headboard. It has been of the BEST projects I have done in a long time. AND I am sharing it with YOU today.
I have been searching and searching for a “mantel” or large shelf for about 2 years. I REALLY wanted to use it as a headboard.
I am part of a “garage sale” facebook group in my area. I browse through everyday looking for something I might be able to refinish, paint, or redesign. I came upon a woman who was selling 4 large shelves. I jumped at the chance and bought one as soon as I could.
Welcome to my Blue and White Christmas home.
If you know me at all, you KNOW my fave color is blue. I love any shade of blue.
When it’s paired with white it melts my heart.
