A Bowl Full of Shells~Repost

Today I want to show you my summer tablescape with a lot of sea shells! I am a little behind on this but it is still summer, right?

I made this tablescape with things that I already had around the house.

I started with some of my favorite Pottery Barn glass candle holders and added a candle and some lovely sea shells.

Then I added sliver chargers, plates, bowls, wine glasses and napkins with rings.

I just wanted to keep it simple!

For extra pizzazz, I added a little starfish in each wine glass. I think that looks cute, what do you think?

I also added a couple of shells to each bowl, just for fun!

Here is a picture of all the bowls. I made each one a little different.

Here is another view of my table!

Here is a close up!

I even changed up my other little table in my dinning room.

I used this summery plate to add color and it matches my napkins.

I even snuck in this cute little shell that I picked up at a garage sale for 50 cents.

I am borrowing these flowers from my master bedroom and put them in a vase that I bought at a garage sale for $3 and spray painted sliver.

I hope that you liked this simple, summery, sea shell tablescape!

It felt so good to put all my Christmas decor away! I LOVE Christmas decorating but after the new year when it is all put away, my house just feels so clean, simple and fresh! LOVE that!!! :)

I kept my house totally “undecorated” meaning I didn’t put anything back that I took away for my Christmas stuff. (except for the bigger stuff).

It took me a couple of days to get used to it but I LOVED having less stuff around!

But this week I was itching to bring a couple of new, fresh items out!

So I decorated my favorite little table in my house.

This is one of the first things that you can see when you enter my house. I love this little table and bought it a couple years ago from a garage sale for only $30! Boo-Yah!!!

I knew I wanted to use this frame that I bought from a garage sale over the summer.

So on Saturday, I took pictures of my little kiddos to fit the frame.

I wanted to take new 2011 pictures that would be neutral and match my house.

So I used my house as the background…I knew that would match, lol!

Then I added a couple of other light accessories.

I wanted a simple and fresh look! :)

And I just had to add a little pot of flowers.

I LOVE flowers…even though these are fake. Shhh, lol! :)

I am really happy how my little vignette turned out!

Simple. Clean. Fresh. Light.

What kind of decorating did you do after you put all the Christmas decor away?

Did you cut back?

Did you change it up at all?

Have a great day! :)

Also don’t forget about my January Special and please contact me for my specials!!! :)

I wrapped this cute Merry Christmas sign around a candle holder.

I decorated with picture frames and already had and pinecones.

I just filled the frames with wintery pictures of the kids! I love doing that!!! :)

I LOVE the nature look. I just took a candle holder that I had and filled it with acorns that the kids picked and added a couple branches from our tree.
