Okay...before we go any further I better explain the title to this post ha! I wanted to create an " Irish Pub" style town look! Lot's of chippy green vintage furniture pieces, antique shops, pubs & patina brick roads & store fronts! The inspiration came from the chippy green furniture & the fun little pillow I picked up! Anyways, now that I've explained, come see the actual look below...
The first thing I did was put this 7ft tree in an old barrel { mini tree is in the same matching barrel }. It added height, charm & fuss free skirt adjusting. The wrapping paper is always a big part too & this year I picked this paper up at IKEA back in September! I added simple white yarn & some black lanterns + greens!
Again, with the "Irish town theme" I added these block wood houses, a vintage game board & a simple evergreen candle! The ticking stripe stockings added a punch of vintage color & fun to the mantel!
Something about the vintage chippy green got me going this year...Just reminds me of old time Ireland with its cute old shops & painted fronts! The green trees & snowballs are both from HomeGoods!
The toboggan was a free antique find as well as the chippy blue paned window & mantel officer statue!
I went simple with the tree & added some blue/ green heavy metal mercury ornaments, lights and pinecones!
The Moosehead heads aren't authentic but definitely are quirky +fun! Both were picking finds & the bottom is actually handmade into a coat rack out of gun shells. It works perfectly for cute throws etc..
I hope you liked this little lower level basement tour! I'm sorry it wasn't a full tour like past Christmas posts..I forgot to mention above but I hurt my ankle & am now in a boot..So getting down here was a challenge!
HAPPY Friday!
