Thanks so much for joining the 67th Table Top Tuesday. You guys have come up with such wonderful vignettes and inspiration, I need to redo everything. Just not enough time.
When I was cleaning house, I thought it was time to redo the vignette on the coffee table and I am in the mood for simple.
I love this scales, so just some wicker balls seemed perefct.
A simple ivy plant that I havn't killed yet was just the answer also.
Add a couple of decorating books and I said finished. Summer always seems like less is more.
I also made a couple of changes to the entertainment center, rearranging some of the books and accessories.
Thanks for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits.
Afternoon Marty, your coffee table is looking mighty spiffy! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Memorial Day from chilly California,

Marty, I agree that the summer months make me want to scale back too. I need to work on our living room and lighten it for the summer months. Thanks for the inspiration and for hosting. ~ Sarah

Your coffee table looks lovely & I am always crazy jealous of how perfectly you arrange your entertainment center shelves. I struggle with mine terribly. You need to send me "entertainment center decorating mojo." :D
ReplyDeleteyour home is lovely, lovely. and so dust-free! :)
ReplyDeletei swoon over the large swan on your entertainment center. he is SO pretty!
i think the heat of summer puts us all in a SLOW, do-less-more-often kind of mindframe.
sweet simplicity!
happy tuesday to you!
Morning Marty,

Hi Marty, I've joined your tabletop party for the 1st time:) Not that I didn't want to but I always thought it had to be a table set for some occasion...today I noticed a mantel so decided I'd join with mine!

Thanks for having the party!
ReplyDeleteHello Marty~ I've got a favor to ask...I would like to invite you over for a visit to see a very special post I've written. I would love it if you could take a few moments to stop by.
ReplyDeleteThank you sweet friend,

Another beautiful post! Is a desk top considered a table top (just featuring my new office)? Or is that a stretch?
ReplyDeletehi Marty! Thanks for hosting. As always very pretty arrangements. I love that black old phone. I have been looking for something cool like that.
ReplyDeleteHi Marty - Your home looks like pages from a magazine! Very beautiful. Everything is perfect ... very inspiring. I love the telephone and of course, the bunny picture.

I love the scales. Always wanted a set but never found a set I liked in my price range, ya, that would be cheap. The warm wicker balls are perfect against the cold metal. Love your coffee table stools, too!
