Living Room Christmas Decor

This will be our first Christmas enjoying our newly painted floor.  I am very glad I made the decision to go ahead and paint it, instead of waiting to sand the repolish the floor, which seemed like it was never going to happen.  I was also not sure of the condition of the wood flood, and if we would have actually beeen able to sand it down as much as needed.

The paint is now a few months old, and holding up very nicely so far.  I was not sure what to expect, so that it has lasted even this long is good news.


I am once again using my tree form Best Choice Products this year.  I think it is actually a very good size for our living room.  A lot of the ornaments were purchased from Goodwill, which is one of my favorite places to shop for home decor items.


These poinsettias are faux, and I just purchased them from Goodwill for only $3.25.


I just put those flower vases on the end table while I was arranging things, but I ended up liking the "stacked" look, and left it.

Christmas Tree

I am not sure where I bought my wrapping paper, but it is a few years old.  I thought it went very well with the colors of the ornaments this year.

 This little, pink Santa is one I bought for under three dollars from Goodwill this past year.

I bought the two camels for just a couple dollars each a few weeks ago from Habitat for Humanity.  One was unpainted, and the other has colors I did not like, so I decided to paint them both solid gold.  I am happy with the way they turned out .


The pretty stockings are some that, you guessed it, I also bought from Goodwill for just a few dollars.  I tought they matched the mostly gold decor of my living room perfectly.

You can see my little gingerbread house in the background.  I purchased this kit from Walmart for $9.99.  The house was already made, so all I had to do was decorate it!   The gold chargers were purchased from Dollar Tree.

Park Lane Glassware by Colony

This glassware was made by "Colony." "Colony" was one of a series of companies that produced glassware in the early 19th Century until the mid-20th Century. Those interested in the history of these companies can find it on various other websites, including Ohio Glass . NOTE: This vintage glassware is not to be confused with Park Lane "full lead crystal" ware by Mikasa . Libertad and I discovered Park Lane glassware at secondhand stores early in our relationship. I believe that some blue glass pieces of it were among my earliest purchases of glassware in San Antonio, Texas, where Libertad and I were married in 2009.  For our first Valentine's Day together, in 2008, she took me to a store in Shockoe Bottom, in Richmond, Virginia; I think it was La Diff . I decided to buy a set of four, handblown glass tumblers, allegedly made in Mexico. They have what appear to be drops of blood all over them, blown into the glass. I thought they looked appropriate for V...

 It's been forever since I last posted, so I decided to start again in what is my favorite season for decorating.  Fall! In this tablescape, I have a plaid tablecloth I recently purchased from Dollar General.  I love the addition of the blue in the fall colors of the plaid.  It is somewhat unexpected.  ' The bright orange, glass pumpkin was a HomeGoods find last month.  The wooden board it is on is from Ross.  All of these items were around only $10 each! The stack of plates were thrifted.  I loved the neutral look of them, and I think they worked well for these setting, even though they have snow flakes on them. And I almost forgot to mention!  The cookie is from Walmart bakery! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Porches and Petals (@porchesandpetals)

Pioneer Woman Tablecloth

I recently purchased this beautiful blue floral table lcloth by Pioneer Woman from walmart.com for under $20.  I went with the largest one available to make sure that I had enough for my dining room table. I thought id it was too large, I could use the excess fabric to make matching napkins. I'm very happy with the print of this tablecloth, I particularly wanted the beautiful blue and white to showcase my yellow and green lemon plates that I purchased from the Dollar Tree last year.  I think the colors and patterns are going to work very well to showcase lots of other dishes and tableware as well. The blue and yellow toile napkins that are on the table are ones that I made from extra scraps of fabric that I had lying around the house. They are not a standard shape and size of napkins but for just me and my family, I don't really care and they worked out just fine.
