Happy Two-Thousand-Eleven, Blog! Hope it's a good one for ya! ;)
The weather here is fairly mild, but you just can't go wrong with the cozy glow of flickering flames from a fireplace. So, in the absence of a "real" fire, I made this little display to add some ambiance to our evenings here at home. I used the mason jars which I already had and bought candles of different sizes. Normally I go for scent when I buy candles, but for this display I went with color...even tho the candles that are scented do smell pretty good.
I used the floral pillow for color inspiration. I just love the clean crispness of white paired with the blue and green. I am planning on using these colors a lot throughout our home once we move away from our rental here...I have been having fun thinking of the color scheme for our next place.
I know this is a horrible picture...but you can get the idea of the coziness that my little fireplace brings to the room. It is really quite quaint, haha!
Blessings for 2011!

I love candles in the fireplace! So pretty! I really like the color scheme you have going on, too. Some of my favorites cause I have lots of green and blue in my house too. I used to put candles in our fireplace at our other house. We were too afraid to turn the gas fireplace on because there was a huge crack in the stone fireplace and were didn't want the house to go up in flames if there was a gas line broken. Kaboom! That would have been a nice weenie roast...hmmm...anywho. Off topic here.
