Hello to you! Hope you're having a good week. Let me tell you, the weather here has been absolutely glorious. I've been trying to spend more time outdoors, enjoying the sun and the last little bits of summer, just tending to my plants and such. My hydrangeas are in bloom, so I'd thought I'd cut a few, style them up and take some photos in my dining room.
Oh, I just love hydrangeas! When I bring them indoors, I always like mixing a few green blooms in with the white, even though they haven't fully flowered, since I like the contrast and the texture. I decided that some pretty aqua-colored vintage jars would be perfect for my arrangements.
I've had this old trug, carrier or whatever you want to call it for ages. I don't know why I never thought to use it in here before. Sometimes I'm so blind. Do you do that too? You just get used to something being in a particular spot and never really notice it and it's other possible uses? Anyway, it seems like the rustic look of the trug combined with the silverware and linens works well together, don't you think?
The vintage grain sack that usually hangs on the ladder was put away and replaced with one of my tablecloths instead for a nice little burst of color. Feels lots better...not so drab.
Of course, the blueberries brighten up the room too.
Well, my lovelies, that's all I have for ya...I'm not feeling super chit-chatty today. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I love hydrangeas, and the paler green ones are such a nice pleasant change from the blue or the pink ones.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, too!

ReplyDeleteTricia as always your photos are a delight! And how lucky you are to have fresh Hydrangeas from your very own Garden! I've been enjoying Blueberries this week too... isn't it a shame there isn't more lovely Blue foods?

A beautiful, white, enchanting space. I love the blueberries in the shots. I lived on a blueberry farm as a very young girl.. happy memories.
ReplyDeleteBlessings~
I have quite a few hydrangea bushes but they are all too small too produce any decent amount of flowers yet. I did have one bush that showed real signs of promise but not enough to start picking from. Seeing your beautiful photos makes me look forward to next years harvest all the more!!
ReplyDeleteSarahx
What a lovely shabby chic dining room! Love what you did with the wooden carrier in the tablescape. Your photos are so pretty, too! I wish I could pull off this look, but my home just doesn't lend itself to this style. So I get my "fix" by looking at everyone else's gorgeous room settings. Yours included....
ReplyDelete:-) Sue
I just brought a bunch of hydrangea into the house today also. I've always loved your dining room, especially the pie safe.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so beautiful! Such pretty hydrangeas - love them in jars! Your diningroom is gorgeous! I love the color fabric added to your ladder. I am all obsessed now with finding cute printed fabric - 1 yard only please ;-) for inexpensive napkins/linen since reading Helene's book. Your rustic caddy is great!! Hope you have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLara
Absolutely gorgeous, Tricia! I love white hydrangeas. I have a few bushes and they're pink. I would love some white ones. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful room brought to us with gorgeous photos! I hopped over from Debras, I love your blog and need to stick around for some more eye candy and inspiration! t. xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour dining room looks so bright and fresh. As always, your photos are lovely. You have a real talent! I too like the contrast between the green and white in your hydrangeas. Have a great weekend. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Everything is so beautiful Miss Tricia. I hope you have an amazing weekend with your family.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on my blog reading list...and you'll be on it.
