New Year's Centerpiece

Presents have been unwrapped(mostly, still a few more showing up this week with the in-laws,) cookies have been eaten, and I'm itching to start working on some of the projects that I've set aside for the new year(bookcases, stairs, etc.)  None of these projects will happen until after the holiday entertaining is over and all of the Christmas decorations have been put away.  We still have one more weekend of entertaining before the decorations can be put away.  Still, I like to change things up.

The days until Christmas sign that I made here needed to be put away leaving a blank wall in my foyer.  So the mirror that I had used as part of the centerpiece of my Christmas table needed to go back to it's spot in the foyer.  This led to making a new table centerpiece for New Year's Day.

I liked the added sparkle of having a mirror on the table so much that I grabbed a beveled mirror from my bedroom to lay down the center of the table.
I grabbed a trifle dish and filled it with some miscellaneous ornaments and gold beaded garland.
I grabbed some sparkly wire garland and snipped it into 12" lengths and poked them into the center of the trifle dish letting any bits and scraps decorate the mirror like confetti.
Before

and After
Sparkly, festive, and fun.  All I need to finish this is some dollar store noisemakers to place at the base of the trifle dish.

Thanks for popping in and checking out my New Year's centerpiece.  I'm linking this up to Between Naps on the Porch's Metamorphosis Monday, Dittle Dattle's Amaze Me Monday, The DIY Showoff's Holiday Highlights Party,  A Stroll Thru Life's Tabletop Tuesday, and My Romantic Home's Show & Tell Friday

  8. Looks great! Looks like you are soooo ready! As usual I am playing catch up.
    Love the mirror on the dining table. I have a mirror runner that I keep on my dining table all the time. I went to Lowe's, bought a "back of door" beveled mirror put protective pads on the back and instant runner. Cost less that $20.00 about five years ago. Can't cost much more now. You will love keeping it there most of the time.
    Can't wait to see your bookcases. I am your newest follower, I'll be back.
    Hop over and visit and follow me as well. Hugs, Ginger
