Deck The Halls Post #2: Blonde Oklahoma Girl

Today we're going to check out the halls that were decked out by Blonde Oklahoma Girl.  She's one of those people who is super crafty and creative all whilst having perfect, poofy, blonde hair.  Makes me kinda sick, but I love her anyway.  Here we go, take it away Blonde Oklahoma Girl!

I wanted to go all out this Christmas in the decoration department because even though last Christmas Connor and I (or you can call him in your blog "Real Cowboy" were together, we had only been dating for not even a month. This Christmas I wanted to start traditions for us, so I started by ordering these burlap Christmas stockings from Etsy. I love them, definitely gives it at rustic Christmas I was going for. {Now....all of you who used to read her blog, please tell her how much you think she needs to start back blogging so that you can hear all about this year long romance with Real Cowboy and get caught up on her life!}

Let me explain rustic. When I was telling the Real Cowboy about decorating and asked him what he wanted, he said I want a cowboy tree. Of course...a cowboy wanting a cowboy tree...go figure :) So with that I incorporated burlap in my decorating. I made this burlap garland by buying plain burlap ribbon at Hobby Lobby and then stenciling with red paint Merry Christmas. I think it turned out pretty well if I do say so myself.

 

 

So my "cowboy" decorations were spurs, boots and hats all throughout the tree.

Rooster Cogburn is an ornament that looks like our favorite little adopted rooster that we have. He is named Rooster Cogburn after John Wayne in True Grit and he has one eye. He's a funny rooster and comes to he front porch everyday for us to feed him his dog food. :)  {This doesn't do him justice....she's obsessed with this rooster.  She posts on Instagram every day, there are multiple videos on her phone of him doing funny things, and she makes Real Cowboy go out and check on him when it's cold.}

The fireplace is just a mixture of garland, lights, some pine cones from the Dollar Store and jars from goodwill for 50 cents. I printed these printables and put them in some frames and called it a day. I thought it added a little something different.

I made this "baby it's cold outside sign" by spray painting cardboard with chalkboard paint.

The entry way to the kitchen is burlap, garland like the fireplace and I made a chevron burlap bow for the middle.

The bar area I used more pine cones and jars and two more printable signs and frames.

 

I think it turned out quite well and it's a big improvement from "Real Cowboy's" palm tree Christmas tree he had last year...although I'm sure he wouldn't mind bringing that out...if only he could find it, hahaha...wink wink.
