Beautiful Historic Home & Tablescape Tour

Did you get a chance to visit the wonderful "Before and Afters" posted yesterday for Met Monday? If not, scroll down and check them out once you are done reading today's post. You will come away inspired by all the creative projects and home improvements that are taking place in Blogland!

My friend, Bonnie, had the opportunity to go on a wonderful historic home tour recently in Campbell, California. She shared these great pics so I'm sharing them with you...just a little more Christmas decorating/tablescaping inspiration. Enjoy!

Wow....look at this table! I've been doing some reading online about the difference between tulle and organza. This may be organza, although, I'm having trouble telling for sure. Tulle is supposed to be more of an open, net type fabric and would be a bit harsh on the arms or elbows when used to cover a table. So, we'll say this is organza. Whatever it is, it's gorgeous!


One of many beautiful trees you'll see throughout this home...


This table setting has such an ethereal feel...


Maybe fairies will be dining here. :-) Notice the flatware holders...


Even the tree coordinates with the the table...or is it the other way around? ;-)


I like this way better than a sink full of dishes! (LOL)


Aunt Bea just stepped away for a moment. She'll be right back...


Pretty in Pink...


I'd love to do a tree like this next year. I just love the way the tulle (or organza) encircles the tree, slightly slanting in a spiral as it goes from the top to the bottom. Just gorgeous!


Beautiful!


Lots of sparkle!


(LOL) Remember this pic from the end of my Met Monday post. Bonnie found this funny guy "soaking" on this tour. Thanks, Bonnie for sharing all these great pics with us!


See you tomorrow evening for Tablescape Thursday!
