First To Change
to this. |
I find it just as much fun to clear away the Christmas décor as I do putting it up.
My mind switches to a different mood, from one of festivity to one of serenity.
Our living room fireplace mantel was the first place I chose to transform the room once again, to set the tone.
I have been looking forward to using the large ceiling tin I found at the Country Living Fair last fall. I love the subtle colors and the patina.
The ceiling tin was my jumping point in selecting items for a serene setting and tone.
Initially I added one of my favorite busts in the center, then added the other to see if I could pull of having both along with the urns – usually it is one or the other.
I added the fleur de lis paperweight to add color and texture as well as to complement the fleur de lis pattern in the lantern to the left.
I put a linen table runner beneath it all to add a softened texture.
There’s a large nail in the brick that the tin did not cover so I needed something to hang there. I first chose a painting, my favorite, I thought it looked great, but it was a little too much for the spot.
I then chose this grapevine wreath to add to the colors and textures already included. Now it is done.
I appreciate you stopping by this first week of the New Year! I am pretty excited about all the potential this year has before us.
