Welcome, a great entrance says "I'm glad you came"

Hello friends:

The entrance to our homes says so much to our visitors.  Have you ever been to a house, and you
feel the cold of a blah entrance. I think this is the
most important room in our homes.  Here is a collection of beautiful entrances, cozy, bright, and
a welcoming place for guests.













I hope you enjoyed the inspiration,

Martha

He is Risen

Dear friends:


I love Easter, love the Sunday dinner with friends,
its the beginning of Spring, and for us Christians
remembering all about the journey of Jesus at the Cross.


Well, I found some great table settings, unique, and
in trend.  I just got some Crate and Barrel huge turquoise plates, I'm planning to plan my table setting
around this color, of course, I have a mix of silver plate vintage forks, and knives, linen vintage
napkins, a German white tablecloth, mason jars for
drinks, and of course flowers, flowers, flowers.


I promise I will take lots of pictures, so far I have the plates and tablecloth only.


here is a little inspiration, this table is beautiful!!  courtesy of Centsational Girl, she has great taste and like me loves lots of flowers and plates.


 


These table is full of details I love the napkin, so creative.

love the table and chairs, so elegant!!!!

More ideas and inspiration are coming, if you send me your table setting and
decorations, I will post it for everyone to admire, please send me a picture.

Love to you all,

Martha

 

Globes and maps, the latest trend

Hello Friends:


Sorry, we have beach weather around here, so
what do Bostonians do when the gray days go away, and the hot sun comes our way, we head outdoors.
Its crazy around here, we are all outdoors enjoying the hot sun  (80's) and enjoy it some more.


The trend is maps and globes, I have several maps and globes that were my mom, I treasure them.


Inspiration:


 






Now, go out, get some vintage globes, add a few books,
some flowers, camera, voila!!!! an instant vignette.

Have a great Friday,

Martha
