I’m changing the colors in my dinning room Christmas decorating this year. I know I’ve told you this before but I’m over the moon in love with All Things Teal!
In years past, I decorated with brilliant red and I liked it a lot but I’m moving into tranquil hues of teal, adding a splash of icy accent and some pink for that room this Christmas. 
You need these things: *your glass, *stencil adhesive spray, *a piece of lace (really cheap if you buy just a little bitty bit!)*SPRAY PAINT! My all time favorite DIY tool, I used Satin Nickel, *And although you don’t need it, I picked up some Martha Stewart super fine glitter to sprinkle on the finished product!
Spray your glass with the Stencil Adhesive and lay the lace on carefully patting it into place.(Mine didn’t lay perfectly flat…see the gaps? That’s okay!)
Spray paint the darn thing.
Carefully lift the lace off and while it’s still wet with the paint, get your glitter on! Sprinkle till your tiny heart’s content!
I did three and they will not look this boring on my Holiday table, I can promise you that…But they have an icy effect don’t they? Just what I was going for!
And while I was at it….I spray painted and glittered my 3 glass candle holders! If I have a can of spray paint … nothing is safe!
Love to each one of you and prayers as we live our legacy~one day at a time…

Tammy Hebert says
November 10, 2009 at 2:41 pmLove the lace effect and I think it will give your dining room the exact feel you want. I too am doing my dining room different this year. I decided with all the rest of the holiday being busy, stressful, and kid oriented I wanted the dining room soothing. So, white it will be with natural browns added in..can’t wait till after thanksgiving to get it going.

November 10, 2009 at 11:09 pmRobin…I’ve been going to the library for the past month and checking out all the new Christmas craft books and CDs I can find. Love it! We are hoping to move to our house by the end of the month so we won’t be doing any decorating before then…and I’m usually all done the weekend after Thanksgiving. I am trying to practice patience…I want patience to be more of a part of my legacy…but it’s hard to do this time of year when everything is so busy busy. Thanks for the chance to win this book…I like the TV movie of “The Christmas Box” — what a beautiful house that lady had!

November 11, 2009 at 6:26 pmWho knew that writing an offer on a house in June would mess with plans to decorate for the holidays?!? But we’re set to close on a new house in mid-December and I suspect that the packing/unpacking and nonsense of doing it all around my three little ones will destroy and hopes of decorating here…would love to live vicariously through your dining room project though because these hurricanes are awesome!
Susie says
November 11, 2009 at 10:59 pmGreat decorating idea. I love the icy effect – it works for Christmas and through the winter. The book sounds like a good one to refocus on living purposefully. I enjoy lessons on leaving a legacy to our children and grandchildren.

what happens if you leave the lace on??
thanks
