~~~"SHOWING" off my Living Room!!!~~~

 Happy Saturday everyone! This morning we had a "showing" of the house, so last night I went out and cut some hydrangeas for the living room. They are PROLIFIC bloomers and I have 10 bushes so plenty to cut!!! I LOVE them. And since I have a collection of blue and cream pillows on the sofa they are the perfect accent.
 What a beautiful welcome. The day is PERFECT today, sunny but NOT too hot.
 This is MY kind of weather.  You can see out to the back deck here and that is my FAVORITE place to be.
 We turn ALL the lights in the house on for a showing, as the realtor suggested. It is weird to have lights on with the sun shining brightly but, OK.
 I love the big mop heads of these flowers.

 The mantle is lit too. The carved wooden lanterns came from India. I had always admired them at my in-laws and LOVE that I got to inherit them.
 I ahve MOST of my blue and white collection of jars etc. packed away. It was suggested so that nothing really valuable got broken.

Hope you all have a GREAT weekend. Thanks so much for your visit. XO, Pinky

    Pinky,
    You have such a lovely living room to show off, too, dear friend! It looks so warm and inviting...comfortable and well cared for! The hydrangeas on the coffee table are truly the crowning touch! The accent lighting on the mantle is stunning!!! I'm still hoping you'll be receiving "great news" this coming week!
    Fondly,
    Pat

    Pinky, the living room looks so warm and welcoming. I think it should be easy for potential buyers to imagine this space as their own. The hydrangeas are a really nice touch.

    Hydrangeas just make me happy! I love all your bushes and how wonderful that you can just walk out and cut them! I would turn on all the lights and for an hour or two before the showing, I would light the yummiest creme brulee candle! Oh the things we do! Have you buried a St. Joseph statue yet? We always do. He is upside down facing the house! Sending prayers for a quick sale your way!

    I would insist on buying your home FURnished, Pinky!
    It looks awesome!
    I am sure your realtor must be thrilled to sell it since it shows so well.
    Your blue and white porcelains are just stunning.
