To be expected, December was full of fun Christmas-themed crafts and decorating. I actually only spent $25 of my monthly shopping budget {a.k.a my “redecorate my house budget”} and more than half of that was spent on material for dining room slipcovers that I haven’t even shared yet. So, needless to say, most of my decorating this month was was done through the Dollar Tree or shopping my house:)

I started off the month with my Charlie Brown inspired dining room buffet decor.

Then I shared how I DIY’d our Christmas gift wrapping paper.

With the holidays on my mind, I shared some holiday comforts {including pics from an acapella Christmas concert Mike and I went to!}

I spray painted some old ornaments this year to fit in with the new color scheme of our living room.

If you want to see the complete wrap-up of all our Christmas decor, check out my wrap-up here.

Our Christmas card this year was less than perfect and I gave you the play-by-play on how we attempted the photo shoot.

A really cool project that Mike built this month was a wine rack for my parents’ kitchen. Mom had a cabinet with no doors and Mike built a custom piece to fill it. My dad had a great idea to add some lighting to the cabinet and recently put some in the bottom of the rack to highlight it in the kitchen.

Our current project {that will hopefully be completed early next week!} is our master closet makeover. I shared some inspiration and the plan here…so far, so good. Paint is on the walls, boards have been cut and painted, and fabric is hung! Can you tell I’m a little excited:)

And to end the year, I shared my top 10 DIY projects that Mike and I completed this year. It’s fun and fulfilling to look back on everything we accomplished this year. Be sure to see which projects we love the most!
