Lace and mercury glass

Welcome to this old lakehouse.
The decor here has been kind of vintage-ish, beach-ish, I don't know-ish.
Just recently I've been using LOTS of candles again. It's "that time of year", you know?
So I'm in that "romantic-ish" kind of mode(not mood) if you know what I'm talking about.
 So I took down the sailcloth valances that I made two years ago(yes I've washed them before this!)
And I put away the sailcloth/flagship pillows made to match the valances.
Since Wallyworld is about the only store around these parts, I headed over there to look at the Better Home and Garden curtains that they carry(soooo happy they carry that brand). I found these sweet lace valances. They changed the look of the room dramatically! Of course I removed some of the "beach-ish" things, and replaced them with a few Lacy, shabby pieces. After some floofing, I'm liking what I see.


The garden bench looks pretty with a few aqua pieces, a vintage tablecloth, and a pretty pillowcase.





I'll show you more as I go along.
The white Christmas tree will be going in the dining room very soon.
Silver, white, and pink decorations will adorn the tree this year.
Hope your weekend went well!
Smooches....

  2. I wish I could do mercury glass- but just too afraid of it. There's a reason they took it off of the market before! LOL

    I love lace curtains. I have lace sheers under my tan and cream checked curtains...they are so perfect for my prim cottage style.
    Have a great week.

  5. Very pretty! I have three silver mercury glass pieces (love them!) but I have not come across any blue. So pretty with your lovely whites. I'm using blue on our living room tree this year for a change.

  12. I'm drooling over your aqua mercury glass, Debbie! It's gorgeous along with all of your lovey whites! I've been putting some Christmas decorations out today. Not going to go whole hog this year with the decorating though! Enjoy your week:)

  13. Oh so pretty Debbie...all of it. I'm loving the blue mercury glass and bottles. I can just see it sparkling with candle reflection.

    I haven't started decorating yet, but probably will next week. I want to get the beadboard and hopefully the kitchen wall done first.

  15. Wally-World...such appropriate words for the place. The thing I like most about Walmart is that they allow the homeless people to park in their parking lot overnight...they also let these poor people come in and use their facilities. Florida is PACKED with homeless people these days. I understand that 1/3 of the homeless people in the US have come to Florida.
