I WAS actually trying to keep the blue room a little understated so it was still calm/relaxing, so I'm glad you feel it worked.<br /><br />You have a great week, too.Jenn Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-23173272716737246992009-11-29T16:41:32.169-08:002009-11-29T16:41:32.169-08:00Jenn, the blue bedroom is just stunning!

It looks just lovely. <br />While I am not a big fan of the colour purple (but I did like the book and movie by that name) your dining room is quite pretty. Again, it is not too much, it is just enough.<br />Have a great week.<br />LoisLoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982808720385645394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-7420951069569926402009-11-23T11:01:33.375-08:002009-11-23T11:01:33.375-08:00Melanie- I agree: purple does have a great warm fe...Melanie- I agree: purple does have a great warm feel for the holidays! It also seems to go well with silver, or gold, or most other holiday colors you'd want to pair it with.Jenn Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-42168878302076601572009-11-23T10:41:24.687-08:002009-11-23T10:41:24.687-08:00Love that dining room.

My house is pretty dark on its own, so anything that lights things up a little is for me!<br /><br />Dustbunny- Purple is such a great, versatile color, isn't it? <br /><br />Regarding your flocked trees, the only place I've really seen them this year has been Michael's. But unless you have a coupon or they start discounting, they ARE expensive.Jenn Thorsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899242535971792424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-86938438845227894672009-11-23T05:27:22.803-08:002009-11-23T05:27:22.803-08:00Purple being my favorite color you can guess what ...Purple being my favorite color you can guess what I like!Although I am surprised at how much I like the blue.I was once a Christmas purist too(only traditional colors/ornaments.)But I think we grow with time.I am having a devil of a time finding a small white/flocked tree at a price I am willing to pay this year.Seems like last year they were everywhere!Isn't that the way it always is!Looking forward to seeing all your decorations this year!dustbunny8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16661219671052355475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-2832825779785301512009-11-23T04:08:09.208-08:002009-11-23T04:08:09.208-08:00The gold and silver items add spark to your decora...The gold and silver items add spark to your decorations.

Andrea-...DC- Oh, I hope it turned out beautifully!<br /><br />Andrea- You know, I really haven't seen many mercury glass things at antique malls over the years. Just the standard silver ornaments and tree-toppers. I know some people do collect those tree toppers, though. All of mine are new, and I don't so much care if they're fake because I like the effect. (Also, they were discounted and really cheap after Christmas!) ;)<br /><br />Linda- And that's funny because around here I've seen a lot more reds and greens than I did last year. Lots of mass-produced decorations designed to look homemade, as if pulled together from yarn, etc. Funny how trends shift in different parts of the country.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10883854503294092142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-51044234100683761232009-11-22T23:47:02.353-08:002009-11-22T23:47:02.353-08:00Wow looking really pretty around your place.

What has taken me so long??? I don't own a single piece of it yet....but watch out...nothing is going to hold me back now. I'd love to find some vintage mercury glass. Any suggestions? What can I expect to find while thrifting? Is mercury glass antique only and what they make now just fake?? I'm a novice at this.Andreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5064894231149440617.post-52910790551623470842009-11-22T14:25:26.598-08:002009-11-22T14:25:26.598-08:00Oohhh, I really love the dining room!
