new suite vignette...

My master bedroom, or my Paris Hotel Suite as I like to call it was the first room that I started my new year purge in.  The table next to my big comfy white chair used to look like this...

I kept a few treasures like my Marie clock base...

And shopped my nest for some new treasures.  I used one of the candle holders I made from the old lamp parts...

And I paired it with my vintage trophy ~ champagne bucket.  It is a hotel suite after all...

I filled the bucket with some silk white hydrangeas...

And of course some sheet music...

I love this new vignette... 

As you can see the old frame that I painted white stayed...

I just switched out the clock for one of my favorite mirrors...

No natural light yesterday because it snowed...again!  I took a lot of photos with all the lights on and some with only a few on.  And with so many mirrors so close to each other I had some fun...

Light off

Light on

I am debating on whether to change out the lamp or maybe just a different shade...

This is the spot where I relax at night and catch up on my favorite blogs and discover new ones...

Especially when Jake is practicing his drums in the downstairs living room, right under the upstairs living room!

Thanks for stopping by today to see my new suite vignette.  Of course I am joining Kathleen at Faded Charm for White Wednesday but I am also joining Sarah of A Beach Cottage for her new party Good Life Wednesdays!  Today should be quite an inspiring day!!

g'day thrifters...

G'day bloggers! My day started off wonderfully this morning...I won the fabulous giveaway from Sarah over at A Beach Cottage! A gift certificate to Anthropologie AND the Australian home magazine Real Living!! Sarah herself was featured in this magazine....can't wait to get my copy! I am sure you all know Sarah and her tale of moving her family from England to her amazing beach cottage in Australia. Her blog is beautiful and inspiring, I know she would love to hear from you! Thank you again Sarah!!


Today I am joining in with other thrifters over at Coastal Charm where Linda is hosting Nifty Thrifty Tuesday. I found this sweet set of 4 Johnson Brothers plates for $3.00...
They are in wonderful condition although the pink one is cracked... Easy to hide if I tuck it in somewhere, or cover it with a cupcake! The roses on the pretty aqua one are a bit faded... Maybe those two were the original owners favorites! The yellow one is perfect for a sunny spring day...which we are not having today... Last but not least is this pretty dove gray one... I just love them all! I think I will use them for my Easter dinner table then scatter these roses around my house. Until Easter I have them stored in this pretty basket under the table in my den... Yesterday I showcased the pink plate, today it is the pretty aqua one...Feathering my nest and making little changes here and there makes me happy! Well today I am over the top happy thanks to Sarah ! G'day thrifters!!
