Winter look coffee and sofa tables

Hi Sweet Friends,

Hope you are all doing well, and

staying warm, cause I know there

were more Winter storms this 

passed weekend.

We had a really nice and quiet 3

 day weekend, just the 2 of us......

which was unexpected, as hubby

actually forgot he was off for

Martin Luther King day so that

was a fun surprise, and we got

some things done that needed

doing............so that is always

nice as well...

Have the house pretty much back to

normal, still need to clear a few things

off the dining room table and tweak

a little,  you know how that is.....lol

Spent the day on the phone making

appts. for different things. Will be 

signing up for medicare soon......guess 

that will make me an official Senior

 Citizen.....strange but I just don't see 

myself that way....lol

Anybody else have that problem?

course, think it might be more of a

blessing than a problem......lol

Had to laugh the other day cause my

hubby was talking about some lady

and that she was elderly about 65

or so.........and I laughed to myself

and thought he could be describing

me..........ewwwwwww Not sure I

 like the sound of that...lol

oh well, cause it is what it is!!  lol

Thought you guys might like to

see what I was up to most of last

week.....since I was redecorating

our family room for Winter.

Bought some real potted white

Tulips at the grocery store so got

inspired to do a white, green and

gold theme.  My typical colors 

for this time of year are dark reds,

blues and greens. but for some

reason I am just tired of red all

of a sudden..........course, I will

probably like it again when it

 gets closer to Valentines day. lol

So....on with the pics.

I plopped the pot of Tulips in this lovely

 textured white planter that someone gave

 me flowers in a few years ago,  then used

 a new cute lil cake plate hubby got me for 

Christmas, and a plant sprtizer I rec'd from 

a dear friend a few years back.

Added some pine greenery and my

 favorite star ornament

and some pine cones too.

and a lovely colored pencil affect picture,

just for fun.

Love my new cake plate,  it's so cute,  

I have gotten a thing for cake plates 

since I have been blogging...........

and I know some of you have too!  lol

and I have gotten a thing for Chip

and Joanna Gaines as well,  and

I know some of you have too.....

Cause how could you not love

"Fixer Upper"??

Hubby and I are just about done

 reading their new book (another

Christmas gift, this time from my

daughter)  It is a Very easy and 

enjoyable read....

I call Joanna my new best friend

 cause I think we might get along 

just spendidly if I knew her in

 real life.......lol

Here is the before look of my Tulips,

the day after I brought them home.

They were straight up when I brought

them home. Tulips are just fun flowers,

and are quite rebellious, they do just

as they please...............

As you can see here....

 Here they are at 9 days old, so think

I will be replacing them with some

faux hydrangeas soon..........lol

but sure have enjoyed them.....

Rebellious or not............

Now on to the sofa table......

I always mix in a bit of brass

with my decor in the winter

as well.

I have really enjoyed using these

 burlap runners on my table tops for 

awhile now as they do cut back a 

lil of the oak look.....

Always really enjoy this Joy sign 

my friend Becky gave me and 

these large spheres and potpourri 

that my daughter gave me some

 years back, they have both been

 all over the house, as well as that 

topiary picture, my fun dollar

 store find a few years back.

I will let you in on a lil secret.....

Those books are there because

there is a gouge in the wall,

and I don't have paint to match,

so this was a quick way to

hide the bad and the ugly....lol

As the saying goes necessity is

 the mother of invention.......lol

This striped looking pitcher

was a HomeGoods find on

one of our trips to Asheville.

Love white pitchers and

creamer and now plate

stands.............lol

With Paint daubs affect.

Glad you could come over for

a visit..........thanks for coming

and hope you enjoyed yourself.

Have a really lovely week!


See ya Thursday......

Love, Hugs and

Serene Winter Blessings,

Nellie
