I started off making little rosettes out of the sheers I bought at WM for $4.75 each, tied them with gossamer sheer pink organza ribbon over a rubber band that secured them while I tied on the ribbon. I'm going to find pretty roses that aren't too expensive to put on there also.
They look lovely hanging and blowing in the freeze. Hubs suggested little string lights and I'm going to do that along with some pretty ivy or some kind of foliage that doesn't look too cheap either if I can find some this afternoon.

A close up of the top of the sheer rosette. If you look closely you can see the hook on which I plan on hanging some candle lanterns I made out of old jars. I just have to figure out how to hang all 5 of them! Trust me, I can do it.
Here you can see the huge finial at the top. Squeeeeeeal..... I'm loving this in my back yard.
Okay, so patience isn't a virtue I've conquered yet! I went out this afternoon, found some ivy at WM and went ahead and added the faux ivy garland since hubs is not home yet for dinner. This chick is on a roll today! Found some pretty flowers but didn't have time to add them at the same time. I'm loving it even more!

I even bought this little wind chime at Michaels at 50% off and it produces the most melodious tinkling sound.

ReplyDeleteLovely. I adore the gazebo and you have made it a romantic place already. My mom used to make rosettes like that for my pony tail!! Also out of organza but she used scarves, the square ones. I had them in all colors, lol. Wish I had one still :)

So romantic to have this in your yard and I would be sitting under this with a cup of ice tea and some biscuits and my book during the day and with my husband with some wine and cheese later in the evening. You are going to have so much fun with this.

ReplyDeleteI love your gazebo. And the fact that you are decorating it, can't wait to see the finished gazebo with all the decorations.
ReplyDeleteClematis are a good choice for gazebo growing. Their broad leaves and bright blooms give shade in the summer, then disappear during the winter to allow sunlight to warm the gazebo. Some clematis are fragrant, which adds a pleasant touch to a gazebo.
Hey Connie; OHHHHHHh how I love how you are decorating you Gazebo. Your rose's with the beautiful sheers is just so fairy tale looking. I think you are doing a smashing job on it.. I can't wait to see it all done in its glory.....

Very pretty Connie! I'm lovin' your ideas!
ReplyDeleteWhen my mom was in assisted living, I used a window scarf to swag over her bed & made poofs on each side. BUT I had a problem with the rubber bands breaking... You might try using pony tail bands - I think they'd be sturdier. ☺ Diane
Did you find the candlelabra in the attic yet???
ReplyDeleteWe all need that special place..and it looks like you are well on your way to creating what you want. I can tell you are having the time of your life fixing it up!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

Hi Connie! I just wanted to let you know that I will be taking pictures of the inside of my home real soon, I have other new followers that want to have a peek too...LOL! Talk to ya soon! hugs, Jennifer
ReplyDeleteLooks super Connie. You were thinking of a plant to put growing up the gazebo ?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you know the plant Bignonia? It is very tolerant of drought and grows well up trellises etc, with lovely flowers.
Hey Connie, that is one sweet idea!! I think putting lights up is a fine idea!!
ReplyDeleteAdored the random thought...it's so true...lol!!
Hugs,
Deanna :D
So pretty! laurie
