One of the most captivating symbols of spring is the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms. Watching tight green buds explode into fluffy white blooms is just magical. Their fleeting beauty is a visual celebration of nature’s renewal. But what if you could enjoy this beautiful spectacle indoors, even outside the traditional cherry blossom season? Here’s […]
A splendid Seattle snowstorm and happy holidays…
It’s always a treat to visit The Ruins in Seattle, a supper club …beyond all supper clubs. Aside from the extraordinary antiques which are always present, the seasonal decor almost always takes my breath away. Before dinner, we had drinks in the blue room where there was a storm in full flurry.
This beautiful navy room, with panels depicting nature was under a raging snowy siege.
A grid of wires above had been draped with silver balls and flakes, cutout paper snowflakes and orbs and a scattering of silvery branches.
Quite a festive scene.
The twiggy trees positioned throughout the room emphasized the winter wonderland theme.
Psssst…. would you like to venture into dining room with me?
Come on, let’s take a look….
The deep red flowers and furnishings in the dining room were stunning against the pale colored walls and trim. The hand dipped red candles were simply beautiful, sadly, this image doesn’t show their impact very well.
I am not usually a big fan of poinsettias, or Christmas ball wreaths, but I’d never pass up an opportunity to live and breath in this space with this decor.
Thank you Splendid Readers for your interest, visits, loyalty and comments. I hope you have a wonderful day today. Please take a few moments out to take care of yourself.
