Build Shed: Are You Ready Here Comes Christmas

Are You Ready Here Comes Christmas

I know, I know,
Its only Halloween, why am I talking about Christmas?
Seems like Christmas decorations start coming out earlier and earlier every year.
But...
I went to a store called BlackLion in Charlotte a couple of days ago to get something I needed for an upcoming project. (more on that later).

Its one of those fun places that has aisles and aisles of individual little shops inside.

Its always interesting to see whats popular.

There were owls EVERYWHERE.

There were a few autumnal displays.

with owls

and quite a few owls in Christmas displays.

Yep, Christmas.

Guess I shouldnt be surprised to see so many Christmas decorations.

After all, there are only 54 days left until the happy celebration.

I always take so long to get in the Christmas spirit and to decorate for the holidays.

Maybe I should go back to BlackLion a few more times to get me in the mood because, ready or not, here comes Christmas.

There were silver and gold Christmas displays...

and this incredible all white and silver shop just dripping in icy decorations.

I was amazed and enjoyed all the baubles.

The chandelier was dazzling.

I loved the little pops of red in this mostly silver with a hint of gold display.

Green and gold is classic...

...and of course there were a few red and green trees...

There was even a tree with pink accents.

The wicker chairs looked a little too summery next to the Christmas trees...

even though its still in the 70s this week.

There was a large backroom that resembled a pickers barn.

Vintage luggage was stacked high. I wonder what wonderful places theyve been to in days past.

LOVED this mirror in an old vintage door.

I finally found the little shop that was my reason for driving to the BlackLion.

Those of you who have painted with it, probably recognized it right away.

I finally purchased my first can of Annie Sloan Chalk paint and some clear Soft Wax.

I will hopefully be doing a project at home very soon.

What? not at the cottage, you say?

Not this time.

Spending so much time at the Cottage hasnt allowed me to check anything off my home projects list in awhile.

Ive wanted to do this particular project for 13 years, but its difficult to paint over brand new cherry wood.

Its not so new anymore, so Im going to be brave.

Can you guess which room Im starting in?

(Hint: Im not brave enough to start in the kitchen)
