Milk Glass and Silhouettes

If you stopped by last week to see my MyColor™ inspired by Pantone® Painting Party project than you may have noticed my little silhouette gallery wall.  (You can check out that full post here and also enter to win your own paint!)
 
 



I have been making little changes to our master bedroom, slowly over the last few weeks. I painted the walls a very, very light gray and changed up some accessories.  I, of course, added in my newly painted wooden chest; perfect for storing my off season shoes!
 
 
 
I also added in the little gallery wall of silhouettes. Some I made, some are thrifted and most were unified by painting the frames. I can't wait to add to this collection!
 
 
 
 
 
To the top of my husband's armoire, I added most of my milk glass collection.
 


I found that sweet branch with berries on our walk this morning.  We were all over our neighborhood talking pictures with a Flat Stanley that my little niece sent.  Have any of your kids done this project in school.  So fun!





Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my little update. Please don't forget to comment on the MyColor™ inspired by Pantone® Painting Party post so that you can be entered into the drawing. I'm so proud of my project and so happy with the quality of the paint! You have until October 24th to enter!

    Everything looks so pretty. That is a nice shade of gray, not too dark, just right. Your framed silhouette wall is so eyecatching. But I must admit, my favorite is your wonderful collection of milk glass pieces. Isn't it amazing how many different milk glass textures there are, hobnail, snowball, etc. I loved the way you had it on the wood finish armoire. The glass just glows. You inspired me to get my milk glass out just as soon as Halloween is put away.

    Your milk glass collection looks great on top of your husband's armoire. The silhouettes are a great addition to your wall. You found the perfect frames for all of them. And, I have only just started hearing about flat Stanley. How wonderful that you happily took pictures of him for your niece.

    Hi Angela! Love the milk glass collection gathered in one spot. I've used my pieces at Christmas time with little tea lights in them - they create a fabulous glow! Love it.

    Milk glass is so simple yet it's something I have always enjoyed having. I actually have a couple of the same pieces you do. I like where you put them in your room, they complement the wall coloring nicely.

    Love your milk glass collection. I'm drawn to these simple pieces, they remind me of my youth. My collection consist mainly of clear glass items that used to belong to my grandmas, aunts and mom.

    Your milk glass collection is so pretty - I just bought an old piece of Fenton this afternoon to add to my collection! And yes, I have had many Flat Stanleys sent to me in Ny from Ohio, and we have taken him on many vacations to NYC, Cape Cod, Boston and Fla - the kids just love to receive him back with souveniers and his diary!
