Again, I love white linens. And I decorate with them lavishly. I don't have a huge collection—far smaller than most collectors but I don't need that much and I put them to use. They don't just decorate the insides of drawers! I use them. I'm not especially a matchy-matchy type of person. I use different kinds on different shelves. (The shelves below are not mine, but alike in what I do with snippets of lace or old pillowcases that have become thread-bare for using on beds anymore.
I've bought shelves at Home Depot and put them up in my family room, office and in the bathroom, but I covered them with lace on the edges to soften the "contemporary" look and feel of them and give them a more romantic feminine appeal. Love Bunny loves it, or at least he doesn't care enough to fight me on it. Actually, he wouldn't dare because we all know who would win that battle. ;-)

Yes, indeed, I actually have ribbons around some of my linens and towels. It just gives them a feeling of luxury in my guest bathroom.
You can even cover up a cheap or abused table with a cloth and make it look glorious, beautiful and majestic with only that small elegance.
I Love white decorating. It always looks so fresh and clean.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Connie on reaching the 700th post.

Hi Connie. I love those laces pictured. They're so intricate and delicate. Lots of cute ideas. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day...Tracy
Beautiful! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your shelves!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I didn't get a response to your email about the giveaway, so I wasn't sure what you wanted me to do. :)
What pretty pictures! One day I will have white, but for now we need to be versatile and comfy. I love lace-lined shelves. I want to do a variation of that in my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a great day! Have you received my envelope yet?
Gogeous post! You know I love "not matchy", and these pics are breathtaking. I think you need to take your linens camping with you. You know, add some here and there! Maybe that would help. Loved this post, so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteHi Connie, love white linens too very fresh looking. I can't use to many though, I have cats and they tend to like to lay on them and then they don't look so nice with hair... :-( I'm going to have to put some ribbon around the towels in my guest bath as well... what a nice idea....you are very talented and I love seeing what your going to come up with next...Have a nice week! hugs, Jennifer
