christmas tree with mercury ornaments

Decorating for Christmas is my absolute favorite thing to do.

This time of year, my living room starts to look like a Winter Wonderland.

My heart starts to skip a beat every time I walk into the room.

Furthermore, I love the winter whites and the mercury glass ornaments on my tree.

So, today I would like to share these with you!

I bought most of my mercury glass ornaments from Pottery Barn, antique stores, and while on vacation.

These are my favorite ones from Amazon. I have 3 sets of these on my tree in the living room.

I bet you can tell by looking that I am just a tad “over the top” when it comes to Christmas décor.

Importantly, every spot on my tree is with something shiny.

I am planning to wait until I finish decorating the rest of my six Christmas trees throughout the house.

I am hoping that the ornaments I have been looking for were put away with my other ornaments.

Fingers crossed!

The white pom-pom “snowball” garlands are the first thing you notice on my tree and one of my favorite things.

Besides the red mercury glass vintage ornaments these pom-poms are one of my favorites.

I bought them from Hobby Lobby a few years back.

I had a difficult time getting a good picture from the outside. Plus I didn’t want to have to explain to my neighbors why I was playing peeping Tom in my own window!

I love my personalized ornaments. It makes me feel like my family is close to me instead of 1200 miles away.

I made these using clear glass ornaments, red glitter, and lettering I made with my Cricut machine.

One of my other favorite ornaments are these glittered pinecones I bought at Early Homestead Primitives many years ago.

Also, their jar candles and scented room sprays are A-mazing!

Also,the “Backwoods Christmas” Jar Candle is by far my favorite.

I am the designer, writer and diy’er behind this blog. I enjoy decorating my home for practically nothing by doing most of the work myself, finding new and imaginative ways to make it beautiful and by watching for killer sales. I find humor almost anywhere and can laugh at myself through it all. I have learned that most projects don’t go exactly as intended, but can be more beautiful than the original plan.
