Simply Silver

With the new black console table in place this year, I decided to move the tree across the room instead of here in the middle. And with my new love of mercury glass, it was a perfect spot to showcase my ornaments collected in the after-Christmas sales last year, along with a few silver pieces.

My rusty iron yardsale urn makes a perfect container for ornaments, pinecones and acorns. I love the mix of natural and shiny silver, what a pleasant play off each other. Again, I snipped a few real greens to add in there too.

Last year I spray painted some walnuts and acorns silver and gold and it’s fun to use them in different spots. I simply pulled all my silver toned items together on this table only.

The mercury glass trees were found after Christmas last year at Kohls. I did those glittered pinecones last year too. I have really fallen in love with mercury glass.

The silver candelabra was also a yardsale find from last year.

And this pretty silver stand was found at a yardsale for 25 cents. The silvery leaves were from Kohls too. Oh, and I even found this pretty linen and velvet runner at a yardsale some time ago.

Spray painted nuts and acorns, as well as grapevine balls.

This table just glows! Come back on Saturday and I’ll show you a quick and easy way to do a natural mailbox swag using fresh cut greens and things from around your yard. A ten minute project!

Don’t forget to come back on Monday and post your Christmas home tour on Mr. Linky! Let’s have a party!
