Good Stuff

My friend Janie asked  me if I would help her decorate for our office Christmas party at her house.  Usually when I decorate my own house, I spend some time developing a theme, reviewing my inventory of possible items to use and planning the entire composition.  This was totally on the fly, working with what she had on hand.    
The kitchen counter decoration.


The kitchen table with cobalt candles and Christmas balls and Blenko Glass pitchers and a Fenton vase.
The buffet table in the dining room.  My landscaper husband made a delivery of Christmas greenery for us to use. 

We just dusted the magnolia with gold spray paint.


More greenery on top of the corner china cabinets. 
The living room mantel
Yum!

I learned that if you have good stuff to work with you can do almost anything.

    Your friend has a beautiful home and you did a great job. I never thught of painting my magnolia leaves. Thanks for the idea. That's why I love these blogs! The blue was different and still festive.

    Gorgeous! I love the blue table AND the big one in the dining room. And can I say I am totally jealous of you for having a husband who can deliver greenery on demand? Lucky!
