Phase One of Lightening Up the Family Room
Turned out a little more summerish than springish, but I like it. It feels light and fresh just how I wanted.
The gravy boat was my Great Grandmothers given to me by my Grandmother on my wedding day 17 years ago. Until today I have never displayed it. Sadly my Grandmother is in the last few weeks of her life and I am so happy to be able to look at this piece of her everyday.
The bird cage I bought last week. It fit perfectly on the shelf just like I was hoping it would. I used some old books for color and the shells for texture. I most likely will be moving things around a bit more as I walk by it. I can't leave stuff alone to save my life. The curtains are next on the list. Hopefully I can get a good start on them tonight.
As for the red trunk, it is a work in progress. I need to do some collecting of accessories for it. I need a short, chubby, ratty lamp and maybe another trunk to set on top. I'm also considering putting some legs on it to raise it up a bit.
Hope everyone is having a fab Friday!

Oooh thanks for the pix on the shelves...just got some great ideas for the ones I just hung on my hall wall (ya know, the one I stole from you ;)
Aimee - Love your shelves. And that birdcage is fantastic! I was the one who bought your little blue birds nest on etsy. Love it! I'll send you a picture when I decide what to do with it.
Thanks,

Aimee, it's gorgeous! I love the shells and that transferware is to die for. You've put together such an interesting grouping of items & textures but it all works so well. It looks like something out of a magazine! Love it!
PS--that last comment was me, I was just signed in under DH's identity. Just so you aren't confused. :)
