Stuck on Sticks
I’m really loving natural and slightly-unnatural branches in home decor right now. There’s really an artistic aspect to branches – and what a great seasonal alternative to flowers when you’re stuck in the dead of winter!
I’ve started copying a few ideas, with a large branch from my yard stuck in a vase alongside my DIY holiday votives. I’m hoping to spray it, and some others, silver for the holidays. I am loving the Manzanita Advent Tree created by Kate at Centsational Girl!

If I get super creative, I may try and wrap just a few LED lights around it to create a lighting effect inspired by this chandelier:

This example is technically an “Easter Cube Tree,” but it’s pretty much a twist on Kate’s Advent Tree idea.

I’m even drooling over this wedding cake from – who else – Martha Stewart Living. And the little touch of birds just – well, pardon the pun – “takes the cake!”

I guess you’d say that right now I’m just stuck on sticks. Are you? Or do you think that branches are only for the birds?
Branches are everywhere in my home…. all four seasons. Love this post ! Thanks so much for the feature.

I love sticks, too!!! Always have! In fact, I used to have this huge stick arrangement in a vase in my house. I’ll have to send you a picture of if I ever run across one!
Oh and I absolutely love that idea of the LED lights taped to that branch!! Is there a tutorial??? I’m feelin’ kinda crafty these days. It’s been a while since I have. Maybe you’re inspiring me! :)
