Mixing old and new

Creating a vignette atop my chippy cupboard with my newest finds

The candle holder and vintage mother/child print were happy additions to my decor.

I'll show you the detail later....

I decided to add this antique doorknob atop an old glass cloche. I found the idea from

a decorating magazine.  I'm trying to find just the right tresor to put underneath.

I love the contrasts of white, dark beige, glass, rust, tin.  To me, there's something so

comforting in the old mixed with the new. The worn with the elegant...

Here's  close-up detail of this gorgeous candle holder. Very stately and tall...and heavy too. Not sure if it's metal or actually iron.  I just love the base.

The top of the holder is almost as lovely as the bottom

Oh, happy day. This perfectly drippy candle came with it....sigh!

It's impossible to appreciate the beauty of this print in a picture. Just doesn't do it justice.

I couldn't part with it to the shop. This is a keeper...at least for awhile anyway. :)

I guess when I take my next pics, I should hide the hanging wire behind the vintage frames (oops) .... Just pretend for now that it's not there, ok?  *wink

Hope you all have a magical day.  I'm linking up with the following parties this week:
