Between Naps on the Porch, Thanks Susan!
I'm not much of a table-setter. I'm pretty happy if I can find clean placemats that match. I do like a good tablescape now and again. I bought a homely little angel that no one else wanted and got it for a steal. Last year he sat in the powder room. I spruced him up for a promotion to the dining room this year.

This is "before".
(It looks especially bad, because I took it with a flash, but it was dark and I wanted to get started!) You can see my handiwork here. The bottom got spray painted gold and the gown, white. I tried to leave it distressed looking, but it wasn't working very well, so I just made the white streaky (I painted with a brush.)
Yes, my candlesticks are still brass! I'm debating on painting them, but I don't think I want black, so white?

What do you think of the crinkled, crinkley fabric? It is a drapery panel purchased at Walmart for some window that never did get used - well at least for a window.
Who could resist these mini boxwood wreaths (I happened to get on clearance from Ballard Design last year! Glee!)
Now, I'd like to share some ideas I found on linky Christmas parties, featuring you!

ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you so much for the spotlight! I LOVE those mini boxwood wreaths. So cute! Happy Holidays!!
ReplyDeleteYour home looks beautiful! I love your candlesticks and the shape is great. I wouldn't spray paint them. If anything I would use the ...uh my mind just went blank. It's the little tube of paint that is just for highlighting. {i use it mostly on furniture that gets dinged or for projects like this.} If you are interested email me and I'll tell you what it is...I am not at home right now or I'd look. Merry Christmas!

So many pretties at your house. I think your crinkled fabric looks fabulous! This is all beautiful -- I especially like Santa's boots parked beside your tree!
