Holiday Home Series: Christmas Greeting and Personal Message

The time has come for the last post in my Holiday Home Series. I would like to end the series by extending a personal Christmas greeting to each one of you.

The Yellow Cape Cod blog will be closed through January 1st while I wrap up a few client projects and enjoy this...

...while I still can.

Each year, our neighborhood association puts together a beautiful light display. Before I go, let me take you on a quick tour...

While I'm away, I have scheduled re-runs of the most popular blog posts of 2011.

I'm incredibly geeked about 2012. There are going to be some exciting projects, a few changes here on the blog a few announcements with the coming year!

Merry Christmas.

Holiday Home Series: Repurposed Chalkboard And A Reminder

Only a few more posts in The Holiday Home Series.

Today's project is pretty simple which, is what we all need right about now...simple.

A while back, I shared how I took a $5 painting from the Goodwill,

(Before)

and turned it into a chalkboard.

(After)

The other day, I decided to re-purpose my re-puposed painting as a tray for our perfume/cologne collection that's taking over the master bedroom.

I wrote a message with chalk to remind us each day as we are getting ready to face a world of holiday craziness,

what it's really all about.

Since it sits on the dresser next to our Baby Christmas Vignette, I thought this verse was perfect.

A $5 find with three personalities...painting, chalkboard and tray.
