It's beautiful! No matter where you live this is fantastic, but I'm sure the ladies in the Southern states where it tends to be warmer can REALLY appreciate it.<br /><br />The new tree looks terrific! I like that rope garland around it a lot! Smooth move to use it on the table, too. You were able to find a lot of really nice ornaments for the tree, too! I didn't see an abundance of that color around here this season.<br /><br />As always, I adore and totally appreciate the sheer size of your dining room. I always feel like I'm being punished with this jail cell of a dining room I have! :-)Alycia Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14690591304562176674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592231447818522695.post-8858271241282864912013-12-29T12:10:35.573-06:002013-12-29T12:10:35.573-06:00Oh, the blue is gorgeous!

I am so inspired by this table, it is simply stunning. I have got to pin some of these beautiful pictures right away. I have a board that I call aqua love, so this color scheme is perfect! Your dining room is gorgeous too.Candy Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469612721498821255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592231447818522695.post-55181553570219346712013-12-28T18:25:40.943-06:002013-12-28T18:25:40.943-06:00How pretty!

The mirror runner is a wavy wall mirror from IKEA. I store it under my bed when not in use. The blue trees were found that color. I have been collecting items of the right color for months. The lights are LED lights that I bought on Amazon. They have both battery operated, and plug in. Mine are plug in and we run the cord through the seam in the table, down the back of the table leg, under the carpet (through a tiny hole) and then under the china cabinet to the wall plug.

Do they sell LED light strings that operate by battery now days, no need to plug in? Each time I look at the pics, I discover something else magical about your tablescape. Did the trees come that color or you sprayed them to match?Pippi21https://www.blogger.com/profile/07002511102541874660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592231447818522695.post-43904676546905329252013-12-26T15:04:26.610-06:002013-12-26T15:04:26.610-06:00Oh my gosh!

I like everything; the tree, the tablescape..where did you find all your colors to match? I need to find me a mirrored runner like that..do you keep that on your table all the time? It looks like it is scalloped in one of the pictures or does it have some type of blue beeding on its edge? Looks like you own a lot of Swaroski? Is that what is in your masthead/header(whatever it is called)that makes it so elegant looking? Can one go to a mirror or glass shop and ask them to cut you a mirror runner by your specs? If one doesn't keep it on the dining room table all the time, how does one store it without it getting scratched or broken? Somebody on anothr blog mentioned you can buy a box of mirror tiles in Lowe's or Home depot..that might be easier to store. Thanks for sharing your talents and creativity with your blog followers/browsers..I will be a follower after this; bookmarking it now.Pippi21https://www.blogger.com/profile/07002511102541874660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592231447818522695.post-18003092375048092782013-12-26T08:08:55.678-06:002013-12-26T08:08:55.678-06:00I can so relate to your story!
