Vignettes in the Family Room

Hello Friends! My oh my it seems its been forever ago since I have posted a new post on my blog. But today I thought I would share a few of the vignettes I have in my family room. I generally stick to the jewel or earth tones in this room. I hope every one had a blessed week! Hope you enjoy! Fire place Mantle! I found the large picture hanging above the fire place at Kirkland's. It was on clearance for a steal! The candlesticks are yard sale finds, I have had them for years. The orbs on the candlesticks are from Ross. I added the two little candle votive's for some sparkle appeal. The two transferware plates I found at a yard sale several years ago. I needed some femininity to this masculine display , so I added the two little hydrangea planters.
Entertainment Center I did a happy dance when I found this large carved wood bowl at Goodwill. I have been looking for one for a long time. The other two pieces on the entertainment center are from Kirkland's.
Credenza I started this vignette with my burlap table runner. Then I added the basket and lined it with a lace doily. Inside the basket, I placed two burlap sachets that were meant for Christmas and a brown Christmas ornament. I know Christmas is over but I needed some sparkle in this display. The plate is a English country scene, and I just thought it was pretty addition. At the left of the basket I added a bird that I found at Tuesday Morning. I added the bottle with feathers. Then I placed a tall skinny lamp at the end of the credenza. As you can see I kept with a sandy color theme here. That is with the exception of the mirror above,and it painted oil rubbed bronze. Please disregar the rose print sitting beside the credenza. I forgot to remove it before I took the photo. It is going upstairs in storage,I will pull it out again one day and use it. I tend to change things a lot in the house. I get bored fast! LOL

  13. Hi Susan, you have been so busy and wow what wonderful vignettes you have created. I love your mantel and the colors are gorgeous.
    Your home is very inviting and warm. The perfect place to really enjoy the fruits of your labor. Love the burlap runner too.

    Thank you for the well wishes. I am a bit better from the flu but have a touch of pleurisy now. Have to take it a bit easy for a little longer. I am not too good at that part.
    Hugs, Celestina Marie
