I went there on the hunt for intentionally old & worn window panes. Sadly, they didn't have anything close to what I was looking for, but if I had a spare $9,800 in my back pocket, I would have definitely been the proud owner of an 8ft. stained glass arched window.
I was really hoping to have my Joanna Gaines moment. I have to say that moment didn't come. But I didn't walk away empty handed. As we were about to call it quits, something caught my eye. I saw this beautiful silk floral centerpiece inside a mercury vase. I love silk flowers, but its really tough to find nice ones that aren't hundreds of dollars. This one was only $32 and the owner gave me 10% off just because I asked if he could do any better on the price.
I decided to do one more lap before paying just in case I missed anything. Its a good thing I did because I found this beautiful vintage cut-crystal pitcher that was screaming my name. I knew it would come in great use as a floral centerpiece, playing off of the glass chandelier we just put up.
I put the blush colored silk flowers against the crystal pitcher to create a very romantic feel. I added a wood slice base to bring in the rustic feeling of our dining room. And to top it off, I layered it on top of a baby blue paisley print tablecloth to tie the blues and the blushes together. This is a very different look than what I traditionally go for. I gravitate towards daisies and sunflowers for a more country look. But I have to say, this centerpiece combination of mercury and crystal feels very serene, romantic and feminine.
