Opulent Cottage: Holiday Rain Boots

December 13, 2011

Holiday Rain Boots

I know the copycat party is long over. But really, with so many great ideas bobbing around in blogland, it's hard to stop!

I had to copycat once more, with Kim's copycat from Ballard. But I didn't have riding boots that could be left outside, so I went with some well-loved rain boots. In this tiny house, it helps to have things do double-duty anyway!

This may be one of my favorite holiday decorations ever. But these vintage quilt pillows are really running a close second! I've had this cutter quilt for a while, and these pieces appealed to the homespun type of Christmas mood I have been in.

It's raining now though, so our front patio photos will have to wait. Good thing the rain boots are waterproof :)

See y'all soon! I'm joining Kim today for Wow Us Wednesday, Claudia's Defending the Small House at Mockingbird Hill Cottage, Debra's Vintage Inspiration Friday at Common Ground, Inspiration Fridayat Vanessa and Heather's At The Picket Fence, Courtney's Feathered Nest Friday at French Country Cottage, Cindy's Show and Tell Friday at My Romantic Home, Seasonal Sundays at The Tablescaper, and Nita's Mod Mix Monday at Mod Vintage Life.

Great, great, great idea, even if it is a copycat.

Love the simplicity and cheerfulness! Well done. I've been doing that with black and white dotted rain boots in the springtime for years, never thought of enlisting them for Christmas.

Oh my goodness what a great idea! Love, love, love the boots. I also love the snowflake pillow. Everything looks great and the red really pops against the white adirondack chairs.

Great idea.
