Today I am sharing with you a tiny piece of my passage, to be more specific, the small table between the bedroom doors of my kids.
Normally I have a gold statue of a Buddha, a tall maroonish color candle holder and a framed photo of the kids when Dimitri was less than 2 years old - feeding Cheri, about 2 weeks old, displayed on this table.
Above the table {see insert in the next pic}, hangs a canvas with a quote, which I love every word of - I bought this some years ago from a craft market.
I do believe they have taken the words of this quote to heart as they are very close! Do not get me wrong... my kids can fight worse than a cat and a dog, but I know they love one another and are very protective of each other.
I used a decorative silver felt table place mat, added a small Christmas basket, some gift-box tree decorations, silver fairy hair and battery-operated lights inside the cloche {the lights can blink on and off or not}. Then I added a simple golden ribbon bow to the top of the cloche.
The small Christmas tree was supposed to go into the cloche...but, that looked much too busy and I decided to place it next to the cloche with a single snow-flake decoration as well.
A note about the table - I do not really like standard wood furniture, but the moment I saw this at a second hand store, I fell in love with it {and it only cost R 100 ! - that would be just over 10 US dollars} The table has a narrow drawer beneath the top, decorative legs to a lower top, with another narrow drawer, ending with decorative feet.
Here is a photo when the lights are switched off:
I actually like this, and I am not really into home decor - especially putting colors together !
What do you think - fitting for a passage ? , which is one of the most used areas in the house... our house anyway...
Enjoy decorating your own home and do share with us !
Later,
Linking up with these cool parties:
