We had a great Thanksgiving this year with much to be thankful for. Decorating in the Sage Garden Style way is more about using what is at hand with a few purchased accents added to compliment the look. This year I made it a point to capture some of it in pictures to show you how I do that.
Mercury Glass is one of my new favorite passions and I decided this year to incorporate some of it into my tabletop decor.
This photo shows a mercury glass bowl I had along with some candles I found at Tuesday Morning in Brookside for those of you who are familiar with the Kansas City area. I placed the bowl in the center of the table and filled it with pinecones to start. The candles fit inside of some glass oversized stemed glass votive holders and, taking a lucky guess when I purchased the mercury glass candles, they fit perfectly within the votive holders.
I had spray painted the pumpkins last year with a metallic paint purchased at Home Depot which was a great mix of silver and gold that created a platinum color that was perfect with the mercury glass accents as well as the fall color scheme.
The Hydrangea garland mixed with wheat sprigs, twigs and bits of greenery can be used as easily in a spring or summer table setting with accents around it to change the look to suit the current season.
The silver kissing birds and the individual metallic birds in various shades were an unexpected way to add a touch of whimsey to the table.
I finished off the look with a combination of gold and green napkins, gold pie crust edged dinnerware, lots of pinecones, and smaller votive candles sprinkled at the base of the tall votives.
….and now onto the rest of the season. Wishing you all great memories with your friends and family!
