It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas Pinterest Monday!

Best news ever...Pinterest is back at school!  It's a Christmas miracle!  I don't know why or how, but I am hoping it lasts!  In honor of the miracle, today's Pins are all Christmas themed.  I don't know if I will actually get to decorate much this year as I am still getting the house put together, but I am definitely going to try to get some of these projects done.  Check em out!

Absolutely love this!  It looks so cool!

Super cute and easy project for all of those leftover wedding candles

I don't think this could be anymore perfect for me!  It's a cupcake stand!  I have a million!

Very similar to the vases I made for our rehearsal dinner.  Cute!

Yay Christmas!  Tune in later this week to see my upholstered coffee table project!

Entertainment Center!

So this is one of the first weekends I have been able to really devote a good chunk of time to getting stuff done around the house.  It has been so nice to get some of the junk cleared out!  This project actually wasn't planned.  I came up with this idea because I could not handle the mess below.

I love the two Expedit bookcases we got from Ikea on Thanksgiving weekend (only $20 each!).  They are the perfect size to hold our TV, but there is no backing, so the black wires were extremely visible.  And even after just a half an hour of watching TV, they were driving me crazy.  So I took some of my fave new fabric (from onlinefabricstore.net) and literally TAPED it to the back of the bookcases.  And voila!

Not only does the fabric hide the ugly wires, but it adds some flavor to an otherwise ordinary piece.  Here it is with some more stuff added in.

I'm in love with it and it was SO easy.  Seriously.  Awesome entertainment unit that is personal and was way cheap and simple. 

Be back soon with some more of my weekend projects!
