lighten up ~ changes in the living room

 I know it's still 36 days until spring (yes, I'm counting) but I was getting kind of

tired of the heavy tabletop look in my entryway. I wanted to change out the dark

tray and bird and the thick, gold candlesticks.

I used the new thrifted basket and a couple of white candle holders

to lighten up the space. Sorry for the grainy photo - it's cloudy today.

 I decided to change the vignette on the buffet in the living room, too, especially

after being inspired by Penny's miniature book cloche...

Here's my buffet before...you will notice I had pine cones and brown decorative

balls under the cloche.

 And here's the buffet now with mini books under the cloche. I also traded the
gold clock for a gold and blue bowl, but I think I like the clock better.

Thanks for stopping by ~ it makes my day when you leave such lovely comments!
