Christmas Vignettes Around the House
I started off by moving a couple of things around in the foyer so that I could create this vignette using my traditional Santa.
I pulled one of the urns off of the sideboard in my dining room to use as a vase for greenery and faux berry sticks. Â Placing it on a pedestal gives height and helps to balance the look of the vignette in this two story tall foyer. Â I placed a spotlight on the floor behind the vignette to help highlight this dark corner at night.
On the chest in the foyer, I used a moss covered angel that I’ve had for several years as inspiration to create a gardeny looking vignette.
The base that the angel is sitting on is the base to my chippy wire bird cloche. Â The little bird house started out as white, but I spray painted it green, then added spray adhesive once it was dry and covered it with parsley. Â I tried the trick of spraying it with hairspray, but it still sheds like crazy. Â Anyone have any tips to prevent that from happening?
The top part of the cloche is sitting on a moss pad that I found. Â I hot glued the string for a moss star shaped Christmas ornament on the top of the inside of the cloche and set a cardinal Christmas ornament on the inside.
This little vignette with a sleigh and a couple of candles sits on the table in front of the loveseat in the living room.
On the table in the living room, I created a vignette using an urn filled with apple green sparkly poinsettias and lighted sticks. Â I added a couple of faux pine boughs, deer and a few ornaments and called it done!
I thought it looked awfully lonely on the table all by itself, so I added a candle surrounded with magnolia leaves (faux of course) off to one side. Â I’m not quite sure if I like it or not.
I showed you my nativity the other day in my post about Christmas in the Dining Room. Â Several of you asked for closeups, so I thought I’d include it with my other vignettes.
I love the detail in the faces of the figurines.
I think the clothing is made out of canvas that has been stiffened with something and then glazed.
Here’s a closer look at Joseph and two of the wisemen.
And a closer look at Mary and the other wiseman.
There are other little vignettes around the house, but I really didn’t think they were worth including here.
I hope all of your Christmas decorating and plans are coming together nicely!
Your vignettes are lovely, but that Nativity is absolutely fabulous. I have several, but nothing as elegant as yours.
Beautiful
