WINTER Deck

It was a challenge!
WINTER weather can take a toll on your outdoor living habits. 

I struggled to get my deck decorated

 before the snow melted.

It was 55 degrees today,

  Between my foot steps and the rising temperature,

 I was fortunate to include a little snow with my decor.

Oh yes, I slipped but I didn't fall. 
 That I'm thankful for.

Hope you are inspired.

I added a few before pics.

My favorite word for the WINTER season is cozy.
The combination of candles,
  plaid blanket and faux fur throw create a cozy look.

These candles...

I love a beautiful tablescape

 especially one so simple. 

 All I needed were five candles.

  No more,

 no less 

How beautiful.

Do you enjoy outdoor living year round?
  I have my favorite seasons.

.

Love the coziness.  
I wanted a cup of coffee, but timing was everything.
Just one sip please?

 

A few candles make any space cozy.

I ADORE my magnolia clippings. 
 What an inexpensive addition.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Hope you enjoyed the different decor used to staged the deck.

Be safe and stay warm.

Until the next time,

Every home deserves to shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it glow!

 

There is no better accent than a candle and it's candlestick/holder.

 

What's the occasion?

 

 no special occasion or special day, or special season

 

Candlestick/holder displays can be a year round accent.

 

Just top a table

 a

mantle

a

bathtub

 

Display a single candlestick

 or

 do a grouping

and

enjoy the  glow

 

Every room deserves to shine.

They come in different heights, shapes. styles, array of colors, full of possibilities.

 

It's  your choice!

 

Check out a few choices I made recently.

 

 

How festive a grouping of candlesticks/holders

 

Simple but elegant

 

A unique display

 

 

Remember to never leave a burning candle unattended.

 

Thanks for visiting.

Gathering table

Hello

C'mon in and have a seat at the gathering table.  Pull your seat closer and take a view of my table all dressed and ready for fall.  You may rest your elbows on the table today.  Remember, today only.

My inspiration started with my animal print table runner.  It's a 60 inch piece of cloth folded twice to get the look.  Isn't it just gorgeous?


Hope you wont mind if the pics do the talking as they spell FALL.

 It's time for a closer view.

shades of brown, rustic = FALL 

tree branches = FALL

candle holders and candles = FALL

 

twigs = FALL



leaves, leaves and more leaves = FALL  

 

 

  

 

wreaths = FALL

 

 

 

This is fall at the Houz.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sit back, relax and continue to count your blessings.

Perfect for fall

Hello friends

and

Hello September

Writing this as I look forward  to waving goodbye to summer.  So here I am today, ushering fall in a few weeks earlier with touches of fall decor.

I don't  recall as a child seeing a lot of fall decoration. 

My side table is the perfect place to showcase a fall table setting.  

To get the green look that I had in mind for the fall,  I chose to accessorize with green apples. 

I'm  loving this fall style with shades of orange.

Crystal candle holders are a fav of mine.

  To be honest, I love decorating with candlesticks whether 

they are crystal, brass, silver or gold.  

Perfect for fall

I couldn't  resist these leaves I 

purchased several years ago.

What is fall without a pumpkin.

What I love about fall is the

 weather

 and colors of leaves.

Hope you were inspired by my fall touches.

and

that's it Houz friends.

Susan
