Celebrating Hubbs Birthday

I have been slacking on my blog, seems like other things have taken over my life, and I haven't had a chance to catch up. Hubbs had knee replacement , and is finally back at work! Yippeee!!! Recently we celebrated his birthday, and of course I decorated! Although he informed me he was too old for decorations ! Bah humbug! Never too old for some decorations or too old for Birthday Fun! And of course I wanted him to feel special on his day!
So I started at our table for two, layering two tablecloths, one white and the other printed. I then put some orange placemats, black plates and green salad plates and a printed cake plate. I took the silverware and tied it with curly ribbons to add some fun to the table. Two blue glasses with napkins inserted inside and the centerpiece I made completes the look, The centerpiece is a green square with a party hat, party blowers, painted strafoam balls, tissue paper stuffed around the sides. All ready for his dinner party!

And if you think that was all I decorated ..... nope think again. I decorated my mantle for him as well. I started that project off with a mesh garland , intertwined with royal blue glittered ribbon. I added party hats, blowers ,curly ribbon, birthday plates. On top of the mantle I added presents and party bags stuff with tissue paper. Added a vinyl blue Happy Birthday decal for an extra fun touch! Easy and fun decor to set up and take down.

On another note I was honored to recieve an award for my blog. I am so excited about it and want to say Thank you so much to Bri over at The Modern Parsonage.com.

Celebrating 2012

As promised, I have more fun things I made and decorated for the New Year.Upon entering the house I have a buffet that I put a black netting over with two large silver ornaments I got years ago when I lived in Austin, Texas.
I added a subway art I got off pinterest, in a black frame.( Sorry, can't remember who to give credit for) A top hat that I added mesh, black and white feathers to. A crown and party horns and some large silver curling ribbon. It reminds me of streamers that fall at a party. Above the table is a picture of a clock ticking towards midnight, to complete the area.

Now onto my table for two in the kitchen, that I always set for Hubbs and I.
I layered a white and black sequinned cloth for the base. Silver blinged placemats and silver chargers, black and white plates. Two black and sequinned napkins with silver squared rings. Black flutes and some flutes that I glittered the bottoms of in a charcol grey. The silver urn is from my fall table decor. Inside is feathers , white and black ones, beaded silver picks, a christmas flower, crystals from the tree also. And a mesh ribbon, to finish the look. It's all set for a romantic dinner on New Years Eve.

The coffee table in my living room is set on sequinned cloth with a mercury cake plate, with a party crown, beads, horn. So simple and yet festive.

My fomal dinning room is set with a black feathered table cloth, a white christmas wreath laced with ornaments and ribbon and mesh, along with a candleabra with glittered candles.

My side table is decorated with glittered encrusted bottles and assorted drink ware , along with a ice bucket full of glittered ornaments. The baby New Year picture is from google, except it has been emblished also.

Now I would say I am ready for New Years Eve! Hope you enjoy yours!!
