Using White Decor in My Home

I want to join in the fun at Blissful Whites Wednesday, so I'm going around the house looking at places where I've used the color white.  My home is by no means "all-white", but I do use it alot throughout my home.  I'm on a blue and aqua kick right now, so there's no telling what I might paint next.    This post is picture heavy, so sit back and relax, and enjoy the white items in my home.  Be sure to visit the Blissful Whites Wednesday party for lots of inspiration!

Of course, my mantel, fire surround, and current decor is mostly white.

I use lots of color too, but still love having lots of white items throughout our home.

Do you use lots of white in your decor?

    I do... luv white around the home. I once had an almost all white home. But when we built this home, I changed form a shabby chic to a Tuscan look. But I found myself adding white 2 years ago... now like you I have white throughout the home.
    Your look very pretty..

    Hi Kathy! Oh, yes, I've so enjoyed seeing all of your pretty whites. I love color in my home but so enjoy seeing all of the white homes but I just couldn't live in a totally white house! :) I guess I've got plenty of it around my house too.
    Now I adore your pretty little table and chairs in front of the window.
    Be a sweetie and thank you for popping in to see me.
    Shelia :)

    Pretty, pretty whites. It's always fun to go on a color"hunt," to see how much you actually use a color or not! You use white beautifully. Jane

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale. ...

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They ...

Decorating Slump

I have absolutely had the hardest time deciding on how to decorate the dining room table for Thanksgiving.  I am not satisfied with anything I've done.  I'll show you the latest in a long string of 'tries'. Anyway, this is the latest try.  I bought six of these chargers at Dollar Tree, at $1 each.   I layered with this dinner plate and salad plate purchased from Wal Mart several years ago. I stopped there.  No decision yet on silver, glassware, or placemats/napkins.    I have the drop cloth/burlap runner I made last week on the table. I brought out this lovely cake stand bought at Good Will for $4.99.  It is centered on the runner.  I like the contrast between the leaded glass and the runner.  I placed the arrangement I made a few weeks ago on top of the cake stand. I added the two white candle sticks with white candles, leaf garlands, 2 small ceramic pumpkins around the cake pedestal, and stopped. I have to decide on ...
