aqua touches...part II

welcome to part II! i am sharing more pictures of my little living room, where i have added touches of aqua for a girlie retro Christmas look.

i change what is hanging on my walls quite often...i try to reuse the existing nails, but i often have to bang more holes in the wall.....if you don't have spackle for patching, white toothpaste works just fine.
i tacked this Christmas ornament, right on top of this thick frame, using a push pin.

i recently found this retro platter that has the perfect aqua blue.....

and this vintage Christmas decoration, also just tacked up.

a close up of my beach painting, that has just the right colors.

the old chandy hanging smack dab in the middle of the room was given to me by my bestie Anna. we had fun yanking the wire guts out of it, to make it into a candelabra.......i added some dismantled beachy wind chimes, white ribbon and aqua icicles.

the old globe and the pyrex bowl are the perfect color.

more aqua touches in this corner...

even Gene, the stuffed snow goose, got a new blue collar.

i love these snow ball candles, sitting with some cute polka dot boxes, in front of one of my paintings.

a galvanized bucket of shells gets a festive ribbon.

more vintage ornaments, accented by an old aqua hankie, sitting in a piece of poor man's silver.

i added a blue ribbon to this cute wreath.... made by my daughter, when she was little.....a wire coat hanger, formed into a circle and tied with strips of white garbage bags.

i am not a huge fan of stuffed animals.....but these cuties are wearing doll clothes that my grandmother, Bernice made....and so they are special to me.

i pulled this blue butterfly in from the garden.

so that's it.....my little white living room with touches of aqua bouncing around.

tomorrow, i start decorating my clients home....a huge project, which will consume most of my time and energy for the next week.......i am trying to put together my next few posts today, while i have the time.....i'll be sharing my winter white dining room, milk glass/bottle brush tree mantle and other fun Christmas decorations.

thanks for stopping by!
