Use what you have decorating

HAPPY Friday y'all! Here's what I had.....an empty lil hallway niche.....maybe most people would just leave it as is.....NOT me!

I had this pile of stuff in the basement......things that might not ordinarily "go together" and I said to myself when time permits I will paint the green table a lime green....

And here they are in their new home.....as I look at it I think I don't think i will paint the table lime green after all.....I like the contrasting greens with the white....
Again, most people would be satisfied with the silver dish full of fall plenty BUT not me.....

I added the two silver frames...."Be Thankful" and Number 7 (which I made)
These were from Home Interiors back in 2003....they were gold and silver....I was going to pitch them until I decided to try and modernize them with some FUN FUNKY Apple green paint.....
LOVE them now! SO glad I didn't just throw them away! Layers are my thang....jewelry, clothing, home decor, etc! Here is an example.....I added a pearl candle ring to each sconce

I LOVED the glad spring candle line - did you have a chance to try it? I can't remember the name of the green scent BUT it was so fresh....limey and clean. Here is all I had left of it.....

After I cleaned the old wax out, I added in the center of the candle ring.....I think it's the right mix of fancy and cool! AND I went green by recycling the glass candle holders!

Try to mix it up this weekend in your own home! If ya do, leave me a comment, I'd love to come by and check it out!

That looks so great! Very creative and festive looking!! I can have a pile of stuff and I just stare at it hoping that one day I can see the vision of putting it all together like you did! Nice job!
