Now, if I was just starting out in life and didn't already have a ton of red, white and green Christmas decor in my basement, I would definitely go all silver. There's just something about the smooth, sleek, gleaming surface that calls to me. But, alas I can't just chuck 30 years of Christmas decor and start anew. So I think I'll casually bring some of my silver into my Christmas decor this year and try to mix it in with my brighter traditional colors.
I am linking with Debra at Common Ground's Vintage Inspiration Friday. Yes, I know it's Saturday, but better late than never.
I look forward to seeing how you incorporate your silver into your holiday decor.
ReplyDeleteI know- Isn't that the truth? What we have collected over the years, and means so much to us in many ways, pales in comparison to some new loves? Last year, I kept some of my "old stuff" in storage and beefed the rest of it up with things a bit more to my taste today.
ReplyDeleteI, too, love the silver. It's funny-I loved it when I was first married and then kind of moved away from it...and now I love it again.
The images are beautiful~ Hugs- Diana

I had just finished going through a few of my mother's Christmas balls, wondering if they were really old or just made to look old. I sat down to check out some blogs and my goodness but here on your blog are a couple of the balls I was looking at. I love the way you put them in the "vase"... Now I know exactly what I'm going to do with the Christmas balls now. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI love the silver look too. Nice.

Fantastic pictures, I really like the last one. Can't wait to see what you come up with in silver displays.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful! I especially love the kitchen silver!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you do Pam!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I recently found your blog and have gone back and read through all your posts. Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago I weeded out the old colourful ornaments and went with all white and silver. I add to them each year. I tend to get easily sidetracked by all the pretties this time of year but by having an all white/silver tree keeps me focused when I want to add something new. We've moved a lot in recent years and the all white theme has always worked no matter what the colour or decor was in a previous home.

ReplyDeleteI had to redo my comment oops.
ReplyDeleteAnyways what I wanted to say was i love these photos and love the idea of a silver theme Christmas! Unfortunately my son would be so unhappy he is still little and loves all that colour!
I love your new photo header!
Hi Pam, I have that tray in the third photo. Obtained from a yard sale, like your silver, for $5.00. I am trying to pull it together here but I have every color under the sun...did not care a hoot about what was on my tree last year as we were buying a house. Your silver will look great with colored decorations also. Silver makes it all look fab!
ReplyDeletePam I love those photos from Country Living. I keep seeing silver and mercury glass and it makes me want to switch gears too! I have so many rustic and natural Xmas elements. My kids are CRAZY for Nutcrackers. I think when we start making small vignettes in different rooms it somehow works! lol
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous, gorgeous inspiration photos. I love silver - especially around the holidays.
