DRESS UP THAT CHANDELIER HANGING OVER YOUR DINING TABLE! LET'S GIVE IT A LITTLE BAAMM!

   This diy comes from www.pearls-handcuffs-happyhour.blogspot.com.  Everyone has some kind of chandelier that needs a little decorating.


Now, you must know that my holiday decorating style is a little traditional. Nothin' too fancy or funky {boring, I guess?!?! HA!!}...lots of reds, greens, & golds mixed in with TONS of greenery, berries, Santas, and trees. I really wanted to incorporate that into the dining room somehow and I was SO flippin' excited when I saw the funnest little show on HGTV the other day where they were spotlighting different ways to dress up your chandelier/light fixtures for the holidays. SCORE! SO...I immediately headed to Hobby Lobby to pick up what I needed and overall, this is my favorite so far!!! This is my take on a "Chandelier Tree"...

Whaddya think?! Do you love it?! Not gonna lie you guys...I reallly do!!!

Definitely my favorite chandelier decoration so far!

Wanna make your own?!

This is what you'll need:

A plain wreath

A strand of garland

Ribbon

Ornaments

And anything else you can think to use to decorate it!!

First, you'll need to start with the wreath. You'll need to place the wreath upside down underneath the base of the chandelier.

I had to secure my wreath with ribbon. I tied the wreath to the base on each stem of the chandelier. Of course, this clearly took a joint effort so Mr. Spouse had to lend a helping hand :)

NOW...take your garland and wrap it around the chain of your light fixture.

It's gonna look pretty plain, so you'll wanna {or maybe not} dress it up just a bit!

I took some red & gold ribbon and curled it down the sides of the garland, kinda like I would do on a Christmas tree. Once that was in place, I filled in the gaps with some ornaments & berries & then attached a fun & frivolous tassel {I freakin' LOVE tassels} to the center of my chandelier.

I really do love it! And the best part about everything?!! ALL of my supplies were on sale!

Wreath: $4

Garland: $4

Ribbon: $4

Ornaments & Berries: Free {cuz' I already had 'em on hand :)}

Total Cost: $12 {That's like a Thursday night dinner at Sonic}

Knowing that I have a brand new light fixture arrangement to look at, I had to have a new centerpiece for the table, too! Y'all. I'll be honest. I'm just excited the table isn't covered in drop cloths & paint supplies. This is the first time I've seen the table in MONTHS.

VANILLA PEACH COFFEE CAKE!!

Did you know that the fruit this summer is supposed to be the best it has been in years? Apparently, fruit loves hot weather. I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason.  As I have been a little overzealous lately buying peaches and cherries I found myself with a few peaches that were going to be too ripe for me to eat on the same day. That is unless I wanted to have them for every meal plus a few snacks. So I decided to make this recipe for Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake.  Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake Adapted from  Allrecipes.com Batter: 2 eggs 1 C milk 1/2 C oil 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 C  sour cream 3 C flour 1 C sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Topping: 5 or 6 large peaches, diced. 3 Tbsp. butter, melted 11/4 C brown sugar 1Tbsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. nutmeg 4 Tbsp. flour Vanilla Icing: 1 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp

I started with 3 different sized boxes...9, 12 & 14 inch cubes. I used an ice pick to punch holes in each of them so that I could run
