One of the best things I have found on Etsy yet!
I love these! I want to get a mismatched set for my everyday silverware....
What a nice way to show "your love" your love when they're eating a bowl of, oh, I don't know, Grapenuts or something in the morning.
So. Cute.
This upcycled spoon by SycamoreHill is only $16.50.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Today's lovely thing?
Pier 1's Heart Bookends!
Copper hearts on a wood base. $19.99 for the pair.
Sweet, simple... lovely.
A romantic Etsy find!
The initial ring by Cindy Lou.
Simple and perfect.
This one is $20.99 and made of brass and sterling silver.
(It's also available in a single initial option.)
In honor of Valentine's Day, Chandelierious will be posting romantic, sweet, and lovely things every day this week. Commencing: now.
Go!
First up:
I would love to dream in these...
The Love Letters sheet and duvet sets from Anthropologie.
Yes, very decadent, but oh, so gorgeous, luxurious, and romantic.
I found something on Pinterest last week that I thought was divine. Check it:
The dresser.
Love. It.
I love the use as a buffet, yes. And, I have repurposed a bedroom dresser this way before. What I really dig is the paint treatment this was given. I have yet to test the theory, but I *think* this would be really easy to do! Naturally, you would only want to paint a piece of furniture thats finish is wearing thin... that needs a facelift.
What this looks like to me is some carefully placed painter's tape... layered strategically on the wood in a starburst pattern and painted over. After some good curing time, the tape is removed and voila!
I would love to give this a try. If and when I do, it'll be posted here, of course.
In the meantime, just thought I'd share!
It's the Thursday before Valentine's Day and I haven't posted Thirsty Thursday style in far too long! My "big plans" for the 14th include some snuggle time with my sweet Valentine of a daughter, but maybe you have a special dinner out, or in, on the horizon. Whether your Valentine is a friend or a beloved, here's a delicious sounding cocktail (with the most romantic of titles) for the main event:
The Romeo and Juliet Cocktail
*1 1/2 oz Patron Silver Tequila
*1/2 oz Grand Marnier
*1/4 oz Chambord or Raspberry Liquor
*2 oz chilled peach juice
*3 maraschino cherries (garnish)
*orange peel spiral (garnish)
Put ice into a cocktail shaker.
Pour all the liquid ingredients over the ice and shake.
Pour into martini glass.
Garnish with the orange peel and cherries and make pretty like the picture!
Sip.
Savor.
And, cross your fingers in hopes you meet the love of your life and your ending is happier than Romeo and Juliet's.
(insert smile and wink here.)
Happy Valentine's Day!
(Props to HGTV.com for the recipe!)
Happy Saturday!
Spotted: Black and white, tufted, chandelier print chair!
Where?
Get thee to Marshalls!
There were two at the Irondequoit store. $199.99.
One for each side of the fireplace or heads of the dining table.
Not the cheapest thing in the world, but obviously quite the chandelierious conversation piece!
(Sigh... why do I not NEED this?! I want to need, and have room for this!)
