Rustic and Bling Meet for a Table Vignette

 

 

I used the vintage bulb tray that I bought this summer to create a natural and rustic look for this cocktail table vignette. I incorporated three mini chartreuse trees to mimic traditional Christmas trees and added in some giant sugar pinecones for more texture.

 

 

 

 

A little bling never hurts; so in keeping with the silver theme I’ve used in this room, I incorporated  more of the silver magnolia leaves that I used in the fireplace mantel display.  I added a glittery snowflake and a large silver bell in this corner of the bulb tray.

 

 

 

 

I like the way the rough texture of the sugar pinecones contrasts with the feathery softness of the chartreuse trees.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three large glass candle holders of different heights take up the rest of space on the glass tabletop. My intention is to fill them with some more glitzy items. I used unscented battery operated  candles in them because I always forget to blow out the real ones. I know I’ll inevitably forget to turn off the switch on the bottom of these guys, so no doubt I’ll be replacing the batteries in them quite often.  I looked for the remote controlled ones, but couldn’t find them. But the more I thought about it, I’d probably never be able to remember where I put the remote- just like I can never find the ones for the television.

I’ll be working on more tabletops tomorrow, so I’ll slowly have more posts up soon. We’re off to the movies tonight to see “Burlesque,” with Cher and Christina Aguilera.  Oh, and can’t forget the handsome Eric Dane, of Gray’s Anatomy fame.  Can’t for the life of me think of his nickname on that show.  Who can help me out?
