I am calling this post a Christmas Romance because of all the projects that I did getting the house ready for the tour this is the one that I loved the most.
Shades of gray and white and silver and pink were used thoroughout the room and the calm that it brought to the room was felt every night as I collapsed into bed.
A dear friend gave me this wonderful book called, The Greatest Gift and what a treat it has been.
My Victorian doll from my youth which I think was an influence on my love of Victorian things. I remember picking it out in the Sears Christmas catalog.
Did you use to mark up the Sears catalogs with your wish list. I may be dating myself a bit but as kids we use to spend hours looking through it.
You should have seen this chair when I found it as a $5 garage sale find that went from trash to my treasure .
I learned a few things during the tour about people opinions of silver. In the South it is considered brave not to polish it for an open house. I personally think the tarnish is pretty and has a shabby chic look.
It's the first pretty thing that I see in the morning and the last pretty thing I experience before I fall asleep and I have to tell you, and it may be for just me and me alone but, I am in love.
