All of the Halloween decor has been put away. I've got my Thanksgiving tablescape ready. Now is the time to get a few Christmas crafts complete before the hustle and bustle of the season. 

Welcome to another edition of our monthly series, Celebrations of Home!

This project was so simple. I became inspired to do this when I came across the pallet sign in the craft section of Walmart. It was less than $10 and a perfect 12×12 size for tabletop decor. 

I printed out my image on BlockPosters.com. For a 1 page image it was free. It's a great way to enlarge your images for larger projects. 

Here is the PDF for you ready for printing:  deer head pattern  It's 2 pages. The second page is what you will use.

Center the copy on the pallet sign and secure in place with tape. Slide the piece of graphite paper under the sign and trace with a pen. It's a quick way to transfer an image to a surface to be painted.

Remove the graphite paper and you are left with the traced image. So easy and quick!!

Use a craft or chalk paint to fill in your shape. I painted mine with Americana Decor Chalky Finish paint in Everlasting. I used a flat artist brush.  You will notice that I purposely didn't completely cover the deer with white. I wanted the wood grain to slightly show through for the rustic look.

I'm in the process of doing a mini-makeover of the guest bedroom. More to come! I've decided to add shades of blue in here for Christmas. My inspiration is the fabulous pillow peeking out on the bed from HomeGoods.

I created this little fella while sitting on the couch watching TV. I tell ya…it's a quick and simple DIY. It would make a great gift.

It's got a nice thickness to it. There is even a twine piece on the back if you desire to hang it.

I'm really looking forward to getting this room prettied up for the holidays.

    I love this idea, Christy! Not only is it awesome for displaying, but it would make a great gift too. And duh – I forgot all about using graphite paper to transfer an image.

    I love deer, antlers, and the whole rustic look. Even though our cottage is quite rustic, I still like some of it to overlap into our real house. Thanks for the pattern and for the tutorial. I’ve already pinned this and will be making it when I find some spare time…

    Cute project, Christy! I found an ancient box of carbon paper in a closet at school and felt like I’d hit the jackpot! I’ll have to look for the pallet sign that you used at Walmart.

Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m a bit loosey goosey about it. I tend to decorate it in a way that will work for a couple of seasons at a time. The easiest way to do this is with pillows! I went a little unexpected color wise for spring because I found these gorgeous pillows @potterybarn and had to use right now! I love a pillow that will do double duty in other rooms as well. These will also work in the family room for a quick change. You can see all the details and more of our bedroom with a rug change by visiting my link in bio to this fun tour with 5 of my blogging friends.

After so many days of clouds and rain, the sun is glorious! Look at that blue sky! I took advantage of the day because I was just too excited to unroll my new @boutiquerugs outdoor rug on the patio! #ad I don't think I've ever been more pleased with an outdoor rug. It has totally defined this outdoor area. While our temps are still all over the place, we are already sitting out here on warm days. Daily outdoor living is right around the corner so now is a great time to take advantage of my discount code SOUTHERNHOME60 to get a sitewide discount on a new rug and more! We are supposed to be 70 today, so I'll be working out here today! Check out my stories for up-close details of this rug.

“In the spring, I have counted 136 different kin “In the spring, I have counted 136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours.”
— Mark Twain

That quote totally sums up spring in the south! I laughed so hard when I read it. 

Nothing brightens a table like blue and white with pops of yellow! SWIPE to see all the photos. This color combination gets me so excited about the promise of warmer days ahead! ☀ I freshened up our breakfast room with a few new things courtesy of @oldtimepottery #oldtimepotterypartner 

A little old with some new spring finds gave a fresh look to our kitchen table.

I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my ki I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my kids years ago. I’ve never had a class, but you can learn a lot from books and Youtube these days. This is the first one I’ve made in probably 8 years. These little smaller mini cake pans are so fun to make a taller cake. I’ve got all the details on this semi-homemade cake that starts with a box on the blog today along with a few recipes from my friends. Each month we come together to share a simple recipe. 

It’s not perfect, but made with love. 💕 It was a big hit for @ashlyn_little ‘s birthday on Jan 30th. I can’t wait to make another one! You’ll find a link in stories today or visit my link in bio @oursouthernhome to visit the blog.
