Holiday home Christmas vignettes {Newbie party started}
So here we continue with "Holiday home" decorating for Christmas. What better way, than creating a pretty inexpensive Christmas Kitchen vignette. Not exactly sure what this board was, however at $1.99 this ugly thing was coming home with me. {Goodwill purchase}
I am sure at one time or another we have all seen these shelves perhaps at our Gramma's house.
Lovely little duck or something on there.
I used my Safari green better homes and gardens paint color, and went to it.
The neat thing about this piece is that it has two holes. My intent was to use mason jars in them, however the hole was too large.
I found a glass instead and it fit perfectly.
Actually, only one glass fit perfectly, the other hole was not the same exact size and the glass slipped through the hole..
no worries, I caught it!
So my solution for the other side was too put a cute little vintage doily and display some Christmas cheer.
I propped a Christmas joy plate...
And there you have a cute little display shelf, for a buck 99!
Have a great day!

Very cute, Debbie! The color is perfect with the decorations!
You are so darn clever and that is perfect in the green!
Thanks Debbie for the party. Linked for the first time. Not new, just few! Messed up my "cropping" a bit, but I'll live with it. Love what you did with your accessory. Very clever.
I just love this idea! This is adorable! I love the colors! Thank you for hosting another great Newbie Party!It's always a great way to find new blogs and see such great ideas!
I'm telling you Debbie, you just fascinate me! I can't believe that you made that ugly duckling so pretty!
How FUN I love it and super creative and different! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, Debbie!

Debbie....another good job!! You can take the most mundane things and turn them into items of much interest.
This turned out beautifully, Debbie! I love the shade of green you chose with the great plate...has a wonderful modern look about it!
Great job! This turned out really nice! Don't you just love it when you can turn something drab into something fab? Thanks for sharing it :)
Wow! You turned that little hurricane lamp wall sconce into a really cute display.
...As for an ugly duckling? ...Not anymore!
Maybe a 'wood pecker put those holes there.
I always love what you do...
Pat
I love what you did with that shelf/board/thingie. It turned out so cute! The color is great.
Cute idea, Debbie, love that great green color!
Darling!
Cute makeover,love the color you chose.
What a lovely Christmas display! Love the ingenuity! Thanks for sharing.
Cute! Love the way it all came together!
Simple, pretty, cheap. You can't beat that. I would have probably painted it white, and it wouldn't have been anywhere NEAR as cute. Love it!
Hi Debbie. Thank you for stopping by and your lovely comment. I did include a link, however I do always seem to get the spelling wrong!!!Oi..it's "blabbing"...lol

You are soo creative!!! I am going to have to make a habit of visiting GW and other Thrift Stores!! please delete #41...again you can tell I am a Newbie!!
Debbie, what a great idea! Love the green paint; and the accessories are perfect! You just have the magic touch! Thanks for hosting each week. Glad to link up!
That is the cutest little display shelf!!! Love the color and how you styled it!!!
Oh Debbie- I love it- I have seen several of those UGLY ducklings here and there over the years. I LOVE that Safari green color. It is wonderful. I love the way you have dressed it for Christmas!
I have to tell you my "trick". I have a holder that is just a tad too big for the glass that I wanted to use in it. I wrapped it tightly right at the point of contact with clear Saran wrap. Presto. It did not slip through and was a basically invisible "fix"~xo Diana
Oh my goodness-This is adorable! I love the color you painted the shelf too.
OH, how cute! I just love the color and the plate.
I love the color you picked!! Such a great idea!! Thanks again for hosting this fun party, I always get such great ideas!
I have seen those at my GW too! Next time I will buy it :) Thanks for the tip!
Cheers, Andrea
I would have never bought that shelf thingy in its original state, but you made it look just adorable! Love your vignette- I think it looks better without 2 glasses in the holes.
Super cute Debbie! You have great vision...not sure I would have seen its potential.
Oh my gosh that turned out excellent! Your vignette with it is adorable! You sure have creative veins!!
You did a great job. I can't believe how good you made that look...I would have walked right by it. You are amazing.
Debbie, Love your redo! This will our last link to your newbie party, so sad. Thank you so much for the opportunity to post here, I just wish we would have found you sooner. You have been a helpful and generous hostess. Thank you so much, Laura & Andrea - Cottage and Broome
Hi Debbie, Your little green shelf display turned out so cute... It make my eyes SMILE!:)

Hi Debbie,
I just love your new found hanging Christmas arrangement. Sometimes I think it is better when you find something that you don't know what it is used for! It helps the imagination run wild! P.S Thanks for hosting the newbie party!
Debbie, I'm so sad I will not be able to join your newbie party anymore. I am over the 6 month limit! Thank you sooo much for being a GREAT hostess!
It's been so fun! I'll still check in with all the new newbies.

Love what you did with the "ugly" board! No one can call it that anymore! Great eye, girlfriend!
Grins!

I'm coming late to the party :) Have been without internet most of the past month.
Anywho... loved your re-purposing of a Goodwill find! It's so unique and lovely.
