Hydrangeas & Antique Box

I can't believe I have the nerve to do yet another post on the

antique box centerpiece,

but, well, I do!

Both my Daughter and my Daugher-I-L

wanted one,

so Mr. Nest went to work to make 2 more boxes.

Daughter was sweet to re-dress mine.
I must admit, she cleaned it up a bit and I like it better.

I like the way she used the

little zinc numbered pots with just

two hydrangea blossoms

that I already had.

The she took advantage of Michael's
1/2 off sale of flowers
and used creamy white hydrangeas as a base for her box
in her blue & white kitchen.

I like the way she worked in her iron
votive holder and added green berries.

I think the touch of burlap ribbon
filled in the gaps nicely and added another texture.
I decided that I liked hers better than mine!

Next, she went to work on my D-in-L's  box,
using 2 different muted shades of green hydrangeas,
creamy white ones,
green berries and burlap ribbon.
I added the votives with
battery operated candles for safety with the kids!

This pic is in my kitchen just before delivery.

D & I  decided we like D-in-L's box best!

Well, there you have it....
3 different looks for the same old box.
We decided you could keep the neutral hydrangeas year round
and just add red berries for Christmas,
and other touches for spring and fall.
Blessings to you,
Linda
(p.s. My next post will NOT be about the box : )
