She went with a non-traditional color scheme, tying in her holiday decor with the turquoise and green already in her Alberta, Canada home. I love the simple festive touches like the spruce clippings and wreaths, but it's Christina's DIY projects that really left me inspired! The Joy to the World map artwork above the mantel is my favorite...read how she made it <a href="http://thediymommy.com/vintage-glam-christmas-mantel-teal-gold-white-glitter-canvas-art/" target="_blank">here</a>! The stockings she made are gorgeous too! There are lots more photos to see, as well as links to her tutorials over at <a href="http://thediymommy.com/teal-green-vintage-inspired-christmas-home-tour/" target="_blank">The DIY Mommy</a>!
