Hey check out the Cloche Party @
http://astrollthrulife.blogspot.com/2011/03/welcome-to-spring-cloche-party.htmlSat. the 12th..
Do you beat a subject into the ground?
I know I do! I've been playing with this
corner theme since Christmas.
You see...I have a thing for these glass
candle holders...I started with a few
probably 8 years ago, and kept adding
on since then. On and off they've
appeared in my decorating.
on since then. On and off they've
appeared in my decorating.
After Christmas when I had found a
couple more pieces that I used during
the holidays I decided to create a cluster
in this corner on the cabinet.
First I'm showing the end result...then
I'll walk you through
my evolution of changes!
The following picture is where I was at with it right after Christmas
I borrowed these pictures from another room..
Previously there were two pictures of
my kids that I have relocated
These two pictures have been floating looking for a new
spot for a little while now- but I was sure they wouldn't fit
here but to my surprise they did!
I messed around with the arrangement, trying
different candles to see what would show
up best...
Then I decided to get these green candles
to pull the green that's in the background
of the print (which you can't really see here)
I figured continuity was the way to go...
plus the decorative candles with the gold
on them actually have that green in
the design too
I set a gold frame near it just to see if I
liked that too
So I ordered this glass cloche from Wisteria...
and really didn't have a plan for where
it was to go, but I decided to set it in
with this group, and
I liked it right away
Something is gnawing at me, I know I need
to marry the cloche with something
and the dark color in the wood
candle holders seems
like the way to go...soooo
I found this charger on discount at
Pier 1 Imports
where the candle holders had come from
and I was very happy with the
size and color..
I really didn't know what to put inside, so
I wandered aimlessly at Michaels
and found this little silk arrangement
and then I saw these green rocks
and thought what the heck
maybe this will work!
So this is what I ended up with....what
do you think?
At a distance
I am stubborn and I don't give
up on a subject when I get
going on it!
Perhaps this whole arrangement is a
bit eclectic, but that's ok -right?
This has always been a spot in my room
that stumps me as to what to do with
it...It's had many faces
You see I already tweaked it since yesterday!

Wow, the addition of the black charger really tied it all together with the candle holders. I know what you mean about trying to get things the way you like in a particular spot in the room. I have that problem with my mantel. You've given me inspiration to look at it again.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Vignette! SO PRETTY! You always have the prettiest settings! And that tablesetting below! BEAUTIFUL!

ReplyDeleteLiz, your vignette is stunning. I love all of the crystal displayed together, and your cloche is gorgeous. Thanks so much for joining the party. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLove the cloche and all the interesting candleholders!! I saw one of these cloches last year with just a birdnest under it and thought it was wonderful! Yours is much more interesting!! Can't wait to see what you think of next.
