PINK SATURDAY & CHRISTMAS PART 3

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Today I thought I would show you some more of my Christmas decorating in my bedroom since I have alot of pink in there.
First I have to show you this old piano that was given to us by my husbands family. We were the only ones in the family that liked antiques so we were given most of the family heirlooms. This was cherry but I gave it a shabby cottage redo!














Next I have to show you the fireplace mantel in my bedroom. It was cherry also, I like it much better in white.

The God Is Love over the matel was stitched by my dear friend Pat who passed away of cancer about 14 years ago.


The two Betsy Clark candles were my Mother's I love them and put them out every year. I bought them for her when I first got married.


Some glitter words that I made this week. Dream and Noel.


A little tussie that I made this week. I love aqua and pink together! When I was little I used to color all my sky's in these two colors. LOL


A window in my bedroom, I'm planning on getting new curtains after I wallpaper and wainscote my walls. Just not sure what I want.

The porch outside this window we have plans of making it into a four seasons sunroom.

A closeup of the tieback swag.

I got this pretty frame in Kohl's last year and put a vintage print in it.

Now on to one of my bathrooms. This room is aqua with touches of pink.



The little Goebel angels were my Mom's.



A little banner that I made this week.

That's it for pink, I'd thought I'd show you a little more of my decorating. The pic below is in my living room.

A tree topper in a candlestick. I got this idea from a Christopher Radko book.
Below was my Mother's Nativity by Goebel that she had started collecting just before she passed away. Perhaps one day I will add to it.

Christmas pillows on my couch.

I borrowed this idea from my friend Celeste to hang an ornament from a lampshade. I was hanging them from the lampswitch. I like her idea much better. Thank you Celeste for the great idea!

I could not figure out what the spots were on the sampler, then I realized it was the glare of christmas tree lights.

Last this week is a picture of a three tier wood stand with houses and bottlebrush trees. This is in one of my guest bedrooms.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I'm still not finished with my decorating so I will be putting more pics up in the next few days. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Blessings, Shirl

Hi Shirl, I will be right over for a visit. I just love all your wonderful treasures. Your mothers candles are beautiful. I love your bedroom decor, the bath and your lamps with the Santas look really nice. Your guest room is perfect. No one would ever leave that room.
Growing up, I had a piano like that, an old upright. My mother and I painted it white and yours brings back many wonderful memories. Love the church too.

Thank you for sharing your Christmas home.
Have a beautiful Christmas
love ya, Celestina Marie

You've got the prettiest ideas! I never would have had the guts to paint that piano like you did, but it sure looks good. Then at the last photo you have that cute 3 tier stand for your houses and trees, what a another great idea ! Hope you are having a Happy Pink Saturday! ~ Robyn

OH MY GOSH! You always blow me away. As always, I love the stuff you make; glitter letters, tusseie (such pretty colors). The Betsy Clark candles bring back such memories. Those Goebel angels, well pack them up girl and send them my way...gorgeous! I could look for hours, and will have to go back! You and Jenn are the dynamic talent duo (as Steph said). All just gorgeous! Have a great Christmas!

Ele at abitofpinkheaven said...

Yep, had to come back. The Goebel nativity as so pretty and special. Also the sampler made by your friend is stunning! I also really like the little swag. So many pretty touches and the banner fits perfectly! Paper is fun to work with, isn't it?
