You know that feeling you get when you spot something that just speaks to you? I feel that way about silver gravy boats. I have no idea why, but they just draw me in. Last week I innocently asked you to send me some of your favorite decorating details -- something that made your heart sing. Wow! You have showered me with lovely responses. It has been so much fun to peek at your favorites. I will be posting them all over the next few days. Here is the first group, in no particular order:
Peggy, http://www.season-to-season.blogspot.com/ A wonderful springtime arrangement, including a great tin lantern
Suzanne, http://www.athomewiththefarmerswife.blogspot.com/ A built-in bar area, with beautiful barware lit with tea lights
Carol, http://www.flickr.com/photos/10432106@N07/ A corner of her artist's studio, including a beautiful flowered pillow
Becky A beautiful collection of shells, paired with colorful billiard balls and a small plate
BJ, http://sweetnothingsbj.blogspot.com/ Favorite thrifted black-painted shutters
Rosie, http://rosieswhimsy.wordpress.com/ A beautiful mirror strewn with painted roses, and paired with a silk flower arrangement
Kacey, http://www.wineonthekeyboard.com/ A beautiful piece from her grandmother's tea cup collection
Brenda, http://www.spareminutecottage.blogspot.com/ Wonderful Franciscan pottery
Connie, http://www.conniesnipes.blogspot.com/ An eclectic array of thrifted and dumpster finds, including African masks
Kate, http://chroniclesofacountrygirl.blogspot.com/ A beautifully colored quilt, although I would have to say that George is a lovely decorating accessory, too :)
Please visit again tomorrow to see the next group of things that make your heart sing!
More to come, tommorow and Thursday. Isn't this fun?

This was such a great idea, Mary! I love having peak into everyone's home and seeing a special decorative area.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat fun seeing all the photos and as Kathy says "peeking into each other's homes. Carol's studio looked just like a sunroom I had in a house in PA!
That was fun. Thanks for doing it!

The shells and billiard balls are my favorite of the group.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a great idea for a post! I love peeking at everyone's treasures. I have to say the last picture is my idea of a comfy, cozy and oh so pretty way to live. You go George! ((hugs)) Rosie
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this, Mary. I really enjoyed seeing everyone's view of something that brings them pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I can choose a favorite - I love them all. It just goes to show that there is beauty all around us.
Yes, it is fun. I enjoy seeing everyone's clever decorating. I love the red billiard balls paired with the red plate...who ever heard of doing that? Sunny corners always speak to me...love them, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat great pics and idea Mary! I'll have to visit these new to me blogs now :-}
ReplyDeleteOh I love being able to peek into everyone's home. How lovely. Thanks Mary for all you do!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!

This is fun, but a lot of work for you Mary! We do love to peek!
ReplyDeleteRhondi: That is our sunroom & we love it! I do paint out there, but my studio is another room just for me that I had sent along with this picture.
Thanks Mary...I really love your blog!

Absolute fun and how I love George the dog! What makes a better accessory than a fur baby!
ReplyDeleteThis was a wonderful idea...
Now Mary. My Romantic Homes arrived today and on one of the first pages I spied a sofa. This sofa looks so familiar. I looked to see the letter to the ed. and uh huh. It WAS familiar! There was our sweet Mary's name!
Love,
Sue
What fun to see all the lovely treasures from here and there! Great idea you had to do this!
