Some simple ways to add a bit of Glitz and Glamour to your decorating

Happy Tuesday Sweet Friends,

Hope this find those of you who have

 been blasted by these Winter storms
 out from under the piles of snow and 
so hoping none of you had damage
 from these storms on Sunday.

We and our family faired well, and
 it wasn't as bad in our area as we 

originally thought it would be, altho

 we were under tornado watch for

 about 45 mins. but thankfully we

 didn't get anything!!

I am officially finished with our 

Winter look home, thank heavens.

Most of it was done, but needed to

get some leftover decorations put

away and then get the leaf out of 

the dining room table and find a
new place to stash it....then put a
 tablecloth on and do a centerpiece. 
Happy to say  All Done.....Finally!!

Think I told yall before, that I
 typically do dark reds, blues and 
greens, but this year I just wasn't in
 the mood for that, so I wanted a
 more neutral look, and a bit more
 glitz and glam for a refreshing
change.  So used a lot of gold with
 my green and white this year, and
 we have really been enjoying it.

So thought I would share a few
simple ideas for adding some
glitz and glam to your home.

#1
Look around your home in the other
 rooms or in your stash,if you have one....
and see if you have anything that is brass,
 gold, or silver. 

 I wasn't even looking when I just walked
 by this cute serving cart in my bedroom
 that we use as a side table for our love seat
 and thought wonder how that would look 
by the sofa in the family room to add some

glitz and glam for a nice change.

 It was my late Mother-in-law's.

We gave it to her as a birthday present 

years ago and my sweet sister-in-law

 gave it to us back when we were doing

our daughter's Wedding reception at our

 home. I used it to put her wedding cake

 on.......and it looked lovely.............

#2
Use any sparkly item on the
table top.....gold silver or whatever.

I added more glitz here by using a gold
glittered sequined Pear that is really a 

Christmas ornament, so it need not
be an expensive item.

This snowflake candle holder is
a perfect way to add some glitz
and glam....since it is gold on
 the inside  and mostly silver on
 the outside, and puts off the most

beautiful shadows when  he sun
shines thru it.......

See the dining room table behind

the sofa........

#3

Add things that are glittered or shiny

and candles work well too,

of course.

Well here is a close up of the table

vignette.  Had to round up whatever

I had that was leftover from all

the other decorating.  lol

Kept the irridescent beads out from my

 christmas decorations, cause thought they 

would look elegant and add a bit of

 glitz and glamour somewhere, and
so added them here......

You can't tell real well, but that netting
 has some glitter on it to add a bit of 
sparkle.

It is hard to tell unless you click on
the pics to enlarge them, if you
click on just one pic it should
enlarge them all...............

I put a posterized affect on this picture 

cause even tho the candle (on the right)

was burning it really didn't show up

 in the original picture...so decided to 

just make a fun picture.

#4
You can use glittered flowers!

My real fresh tulips finally 
bit the dust. (May they rest in
peace) lol

So replaced them with these pretty
 faux hydrangeas that are glittered
just perfectly...enough to look
beautiful but not tacky.   lol

and then the silver star next to
the flowers adds that lil bit more
glitz and glam.

 Also stuck

 in some pine greenery and pine cones to 

complete the winter look and add a lil
contrast to the white.

Decided to posterize this one too,

 just for the fun of it.

Here is a shot of the whole family room

 and dining room, with all the table tops 

you have already seen. Can't believe 
this chair seems like it is so far away
 from the sofa but it really isn't.....
optical illusion, I suppose..............

#5

Adding a throw or pillow that

is made of velvet or has that

look of velvet...will add a

 glamourous looks as well.

 The throw is just sooo
soft, cozy and warm and
I love, love, love it..........
It also has a nice creamy
 neutral lamb wool look on
 the opposite side that adds
 texture when needed........

Nice to have you come for a
 visit, and hope you enjoyed your
 time here.  

Hope you have a Blessed week!
