Color fascinates me!!! I love all the colors of the rainbow but I have a love affair with the color blue! I have splashes of blue in every room in my house. Maybe, some day I will do a post of all the "blues"in my house.
Blue is the color of inspiration and spirituality. I love all shades of blue!! It is such a soothing color, therefore an excellent color to decorate homes with. This color represents a lot of things to me, but above all,
Blue to me is Santorini !
My inspiration for today's tablescape is:
Greek Island of Santorini
This 4,000 year old volcanic island off the coast of the Aegean Sea is simply magnificent! It is connected to the legendary continent of Atlantis. I love visiting exotic places and Santorini is at the top of my "Places to Visit list"!! This magical island beckons me!!
There is no place quite like Santorini with its characteristic white-washed houses and blue doors and windows - a "trademark" of Santorini.The pristine white houses overlooking the aqua waters of the Aegean Sea inspire me a lot! Santorini is what dreams are made up of!! Don't you agree?
Something Old :
Something New:
This candlestand is a recent purchase from TJMaxx... I love that store! My most favorite place to shop for home decor. I love the old-world finish on this candlestand.
Something Blue:
Well, these are the elements that make up my living room tablescapes.
The tablescape on the end tables on either end of the sofas:
The beautiful scroll work of the end tables:
Now, a view of the end table on the other end of the sofa.
