Having fun with decorating

Spring flowers in a pretty red vase,

I just love when spring arrives. There are so many flowers I can decorate with. There are 4 different bushes in this little vase. I can just smell the flowers. They are silk.


I just love this Renaissance Hurricane, I have put some ivy and some holly along with some copper pine cones. I then sat a hand painted wooden bird in it to give it a look as if nesting.This hurricane is also a Southern Living at HOME item.

One of my favorite tables is the turtle top I bought at a auction. This table has porcelain wheels on the legs. It is a walnut wood and is around 120 years old. This piece was already finished and I didn't have to refinish it. I love the design of the table with all it's curve of the legs to the detail on the front. I never get tired of looking at it.

The frames on the table are very french and just pop on the turtle top table they are Southern Living at HOME and so is the little red vase.

The lamp is a Dale Tiffany and is 3 dimensional stain glass. The colors in this lamp or a dusty orange, pink, blue, green, cream. When it is lit up it is so beautiful it takes on more of the dusty orange color with hints of the other colors I was really lucky to get this lamp. It was me and another man that was bidding on it at a auction and he finally gave in and I was able to get it for $50.00 this was a real save, as this type of lamp usually goes a lot higher.

I love to go to auctions. I find all kinds of neat and different things. You can add old pieces with new and it just makes your home look so warm and welcoming.

I haven't been lately to any auctions but I plan on correcting that by going again. I'm in the hunt now for a side table in a antique oak that has french legs. This will complete my living room as far as the table's. Then I will be hunting for something to go under my Paris pictures.

Happy hunting to all of you that are looking for that right piece to make your corner complete

A few more of my favorite things.

I thought I would share these item's with you, they are all Southern Living at HOME. I am a consultant with this company. I joined so I could decorate my house with these beautiful items.
I's like to tell you a little about these items.
The first picture is a nobed pitcher, this pitcher is very heavy and very attractive, there or 10 oz juice glasses and they also have the 16 oz ice tea glasses, It is a very nice set. Just right on a hot sunny day.
The second picture is a little red vase with a wavey top that is trimed in carmel. This vase is a dark red and just the cutiest little vase I've ever seen. I have alot of fun decorating with it. For Valentine's Day I put hearts on a stick and pink roses with a little cupid sitting in the middle.
The next picture has 3 tins that are different designs on them, the tins are chocolate and outlined in a green dusting that gives it a old world look. They go well in about any deco. And because they are so different they look good as a accent to any arrangment you have going on in your house.
TheTuscan pitcher in the blue is outlined at the top in a handpainted carmel color, It has spouts on both sides of the neckand it fits perfect in you hand for pouring. Very grecien. Next to it is the Tuscan vase which is also in that beautiful blue as the pitcher. This vase has four corners at the top that are turned down and trimed in a handpainted carmel color . The vase is so different than any vase I've seen, very unsual.
The bubble glasses are next to the vases. These glasses have bubbles blowned through them and come in two sizes these are the 10 oz glasses. They have 12 oz glasses also, these look so awesome with red wine or any color drink. Very festive!!!
We then have the Gail Pittman bountiful bowl. This bowl is so beautiful it has the tuscan blue, reds, yellow's and greens. You can serve with it or just display it. In any room it makes a statement wherever you put it or however you use it.
I hope you enjoyed some of my pretty's. When I get some more pictures I will show you some more.
