    Recently, my friends at The Brick have launched their Winter 2018 My Brick Home catalogue filled with tons of decor and DIY ideas for the season. Read on to see me take on one of the DIY projects featured in the catalogue and how you can win a grand prize home shopping spree (up to $36,000) PLUS an e-design consultation with Kortney Wilson!

    This week, I'm re-creating this advent calendar on a shelf featuring the Stockbridge Bookcase from The Brick.

    For my version, I decided to make 25 little white paper houses for the sweetest advent calendar Christmas village!

    The Stockbridge Bookcase is perfect for this display with its tapered, but deep shelves. I also love how the white houses pop on the ebony colour of the shelf!

    To create this DIY Christmas advent calendar, I cut some mini houses from white and champagne gold glitter cardstock with my Cricut. You don't need a cutting machine to make houses like this; click here for a free paper house pattern. Then, I created numbered stickers from 1-25 and placed them on the houses. You could also write the numbers on the houses with a marker or pen. Next, I arranged the houses on 5 of the shelves of my Stockbridge bookcase and placed a chocolate beneath each one. Finally, I decorated the shelves with bottle brush trees, fairy lights and faux snow.

    I'm so happy with how this turned out - it's the cutest advent calendar ever! I can't wait for my girls to enjoy it this December.
