SILVER & RED~ WELCOME TO FEATHERED NEST FRIDAY No. 20

I was feeling a bit in the mood for *red* today...

Maybe it's Valentines day and sweet reds and pinks popping up everywhere...

Maybe it's the sweet flower bouquets my husband brings...

or maybe I just felt like some color in the faded

landscape of winter...Whatever the reason,

I decided to change the wall above the sideboard in the dining area.

I was in a bit of a hurry to get things all done today and didn't get everything finished yet...

but, here it is so far~

A large oil painted floral takes center stage

surrounded with some of my red transferware from the kitchen & silver plates

Two galvanized troughs filled with some of the hydrangeas from the bedroom

and some of those gorgeous green hydrangeas that my friend Leslie sent to me a few months back~

I love lime green and these hydrangeas are THE best color!

A vintage metal tiered stand holds colorful champagne grapes

and is lined with an old coffee sack found at a thrift store.

Working on the finishing touches...

but am loving it so far.

On a side note~ I just signed up for a Facebook page for my blog-

I have no idea how to use Facebook ! Lol!!

If you are on Facebook and have any tips or hints on how to work with it-

would appreciate them! There is a little badge on the side for it.

Onto the review~
