Christmas Monogram "Wreath" Project

It appears that Santa and his little elves have taken up shop around my home,

particularly on my kitchen counters.

I've been decorating every chance I get, 

and turning out fun Christmas projects!

I've shared two so far,

Hark The Herald The {Upcycled} Angel Sings,

and Ms. Camela Christmas - 60's Inspired Decorated Dress Form.

Knowing that I'd been in search of a wood circle monogram,

my daughter picked up one at Michaels, when they were on sale.

I really didn't have a plan in mind for the mono... 

the project just kept evolving as I went along.

I started by spraypainting it gold.

The gold blended in with the wood, and looked a little bland.

So I decided to add stripes... black.

Not your typical Christmas color,

 but the "wreath" would coordinate with the lamp and black shade on the foyer table,

 where it would be hung.

A coat of satin black...

Another spontaneous step, added a little sparkle to the gold stripes!

Found a pretty sprig of faux berries and leaves at Lowe's.

Disassembled it, and glued it in place on the mono.

Have ya'll seen the Christmas selections at Lowe's this year... pretty cute!

The no-plan-in-mind Christmas Monogram "Wreath" Project came together well,

if I do say so myself!   :)

The mono wreath fills in the empty space above the Christmas vignette on the table.

See your name on Santa's list???

I adore this Santa.

He strongly resembles my step-father-in-law.

How are your decorations coming along?

I'm wrapping mine up today!

...except for the outside.

We're in a season divided house, Christmas inside, Fall out.

But that's a worry for another day!  :)
