I have two more Shiny Brite ideas for you today. The simplest is to just pile a bunch of ornaments in a bowl or vase and enjoy!
When I spotted this hobnail bowl at an estate sale this fall, I knew it would be perfect filled with Shiny Brites!
Here is a sneak peak at some of the new living room decorating. I haven't forgotten about it! It has just been a slower than anticipated process. I keep reminding myself it isn't a race! Anyway here is a peek at the shelves. Much cleaner and brighter!
One of our vintage nativity sets is on the top shelf. I love the sweetness of their expressions! It has been a few years since we have gotten it out. I love how well they shoe up against the white.
And on the third shelf, my cardboard houses. They aren't that fragile and can withstand a bit of poking and prodding by a little niece's fingers.
But I think this has been my favorite this year! It was a bit of a splurge, but well worth it!
I first saw one of these ornament trees at an antique shop (displaying Shiny Brites, naturally!). It was love at first sight and I was crushed to discover a not-for-sale tag on it! Well, I rushed home and started googling, sure there was another out there for me.
Eventually I found it at Crate and Barrel! Not somewhere I usually shop or would have thought to look. And right now they are on sale HERE! There are several sizes and colors, so be sure to look around. (Maybe I need another one?!?)
We have been enjoying the ornament tree in the middle of the dining room table. But I thought pictures would be nice on the buffet.
So those all my ideas on how to display Shiny Brites! Do you have a favorite? Or do you have an idea on how to display them? (I am always looking for more ideas!)
I have a bowl of baubles as a centrepiece on the coffee table, yours looks beautiful. I was also impressed with that stunning tree.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the simplicity of bowl or basket of ornaments. I would have more around, but I get worried if they aren't in a safe place. Have a lovely Christmas!
DeleteBeautiful displays. All your vintage lovlies. It's hard to choose a favorite but I do really like the vintage framed Christmas cards!!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you! The framed cards have been a reoccurring favorite with us too! Have a Merry Christmas!
DeleteThank you Heidi, for sharing your decorating with us. I especially liked you silver Christmas Tree ornament holder. I went to Create and Barrel site and it was reduced to $17.96, ordered-------scored! My son gave me five vintage ornaments a number of years ago and they will look beautiful on the silver tree and show their true beauty. Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteYey! I know you are going to love it! And how perfect for a special collection. Merry Christmas to you too!
DeleteLovely display of your ornaments. I trimmed down a small fake tree to look primitive and hung my Shiny Brites on that tree. I've also seen the ornaments displayed in an old wooden soda/pop crate that had dividers in it. I also love your framed cards displayed on the wall, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea with the small tree! I will have to remember it. The vintage cards are a nice way to add Christmas to that part of the room. I actually just tape the cards over the glass, then they are really to take down too! Merry Christmas!
