Coffee Table Changes

Hello all! Hope everyone had a restful, fun Mother's Day Weekend. I know I did! Today I thought I would share the family room coffee table.  I have been doing a little shopping, so it was time to use some of the things I have bought.

Yes, a glass top table. So not what I wanted, but after looking for over a year to find one the right size that was not $3000+,  this is what I got.  The little bird vases where a recent find at HG. I just fell in love with them. This room is so dark that I have been trying to use more white to brighten it up. And since I can go to the yard and bring some of my smaller blooms in, they do double duty to lighten and brighen the room up.




A close up of the sweet birds with some rained beaten blooms.  We had over a inch and a half of rain yesterday! The blue-purple is my lace cap hydrange and the pink I can not remember the name, but they grow fast and come back year after year.

I love this little orchid sitting on a silver tray with cloche protecting it. Makes me smile.

I picked up this cute little bird tray a few months ago at Queen of Hearts Antiques, and placed some moss balls in it.  I guess my trend is to use more natural elements to lighten and brighten.

On this side I used these large "twig" balls.  I found these and the moss balls at Kohl's of all places. I really like the texture them bring to the slick glass.

Here's another view from the breakfast area.  You see the elephant in the room right? - all 73 inches! What's a girl to do when the Mister asks for so little?

Here's a view taken in front of the fireplace, looking towards the foyer to the left and dining room to the right. In the dining room you can see my next project - a drum table to refinish.

Thanks so much for visiting, I love hearing from you!
