Hello, after a brief blog vacation over the holidays, it’s nice to be back. I’m beginning the week by joining Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday.
Hubby surprised me with a handmade Christmas present to accompany my Village Bench, a frequent backdrop for warm weather tablescapes…….
He took an old magazine table that has been collecting dust in our attic and made a mosaic on the top….
What could be cuter, and possibly more appropriate for me, than a high heeled shoe……
I love his combination of the orderly back ground and the random broken pieces used in the shoe……..
Hubby finished the table by painting it black and rubbing some paint off for a worn look……
An additional touch, to tie everything together, Hubby painted the wicker chairs black….
This is how the porch looked last spring…
This is the porch today……
Thank you for visiting. With any luck I’ll remember Tablescape Thursday this week… I have, slightly late, photos of our table from number one son’s birthday dinner on Christmas. I hope to see you then……
