Anyway, I wanted to share another of my Christmas displays with you all today. This is another in the sitting room.
I wanted to show off my love of white, tarnished silver and silver mercury glass. I put it on the little ice cream table that I have in there.
Tiered silver goodness!
The mercury glass bowl from Pottery Barn that I shared in another post. I filled it with faux snow, a little greenery and vintage silver ornaments.
The small pewter cup that I purchased from Katie's Rose Cottage is filled with more of that fab realistic faux snow, a white bottlebrush tree from Saturday Finds and a rhinestone snowflake.
This is the tree branch that I got from my yard all decorated up for Christmas with a silver deer, French tags from Katie's Rose Cottage and...
a whitewashed burlap star ornament. This came from Junk to Joy, a favorite blog :)
A couple of days ago, I bought this beautiful mercury glass cache pot from Pottery Barn. This is more of a champagne color but coordinates so well with the silver.
I filled it with fake snow, a beautiful bird and a big snowflake that is glittered.
You cant tell by the picture very well, but this is etched with a floral pattern.
Here is that amazing tree that I shared in another post! Ohhh I love it so much! I have it pictured all lit up but of course you cant see it well in the picture. It looks so beautiful at night time.
A couple weeks ago, I bought this awesome vintage egg gathering basket from Katie's Rose Cottage. I have always wanted one of these but never could find one in just the right color that was worth paying for and I didn't want to paint it. This is perfectly shabby with creamy white chippy paint and rust. I hung a big silver snowflake ornament on it with a white crochet snowflake ornament over it.
Inside, I wrapped the mason jar that the tree is in with burlap, white chiffon, silver beads, crystal garland, vintage gold and silver ornaments and a few tree branches.
This reindeer was one that Dave brought home for me to craft with. Emily painted it white and I had to keep it, lol.
A few weeks ago, I found this amazing square tray that is perfectly tarnished and has the prettiest pattern of scrolls and a rose. These will be so pretty to display year round.Well, that is the last of my displays this year, Next I will share my tree.
I am really loving the silver and white look. I have been contemplating painting the sitting room a very light shade of grey. I love grey and have always loved to wear it. It really looks nice with white. But I love the color of aqua/tiffany that is already in there. It is so unique and very bright and happy no matter the weather. So what I think I will do is paint our bedroom a soft grey instead. And then stain the floor in a really dark walnut and the trim white. that will have such an old feel to it and will look perfect with the grey toned floral Simply Shabby Chic comforter I bought last year. I think it will all tie together nicely and be a comforting retreat at the end of the day!
I am just counting down the days until New Years Eve!!!!!! My boys will all be here, along with Emily. I have so many plans for that day! We have a lot to do to get ready for our Christmas on New Years day!!! It will be nonstop busy-ness :) Stocking decorating, cookie decorating, cake decorating, Christmas show watching, lots and lots of snuggles and hugs and kisses :):)
Thank you for visiting me today! Hugs ~ Amy

Everything looks so lovely - and that aqua background just makes it all shine!
Can't wait to see your tree.
Hi Amy, You decorations are goreous. I too love the white with silver and the antiqued tones. Your plans with the grey sound beautiful. How wonderful to plan your time with all the kids. It will be a special way to start the new year.
Enjoy, have fun and blessings always.
Love to you, Celestina Marie
