Today with the Farmhouse Hens Decorate the project is milk glass! I had to call my mom in for this one because I knew she had several lovely dishes from my grandma that would be just perfect. With my guest bedroom reveal coming out earlier this week my thoughts turned to, “What could I setup to greet my guests in the morning?”

First thing was first, I knew I needed flowers and with winter being so totally HERE buying lilies felt like a clear indication that spring actually might be on its way! (The checkout lady looked at me and asked, “Are these flowers just for you?” When I told her that YES they were she grinned and said, “Good for you, Girl!”)

I wanted to set this up on my island because no matter who I have over to my house everyone gravitates to it. We all stand (or sit) by the island, its just the way it is – it is the center of my home. Next purchase were some pretty little pastries (I know, I should have cooked something… but these looked so good!) I took them to work the next day and all of my coworkers appreciated them. With some napkins added I could almost smell the coffee on a Sunday morning with my guests and I settling in around my island.

My purchase at Walmart was as follows: New sheets for my bed, a new lampshade, pastries, flowers, sheetrock mud and sheetrock tape lol and if that isn’t a clear indication of the kind of gal I am…

Make sure and check out the projects using Milk Glass from the other gals of the Farmhouse Hens!

    This is so beautiful, your guests are lucky. That milk glass tier tray is so gorgeous and to know that its real, its vintage, and its family. Wow, what a keepsake Tarah. I cannot say enough about how much I love it.

      Oh Leanna, thank you so much! These pieces have been in our family for years upon years, I treated them with kid gloves when I used them here!

    Gorgeous Milk Glass pieces!! What a lovely way to greet your guests! Nice way to decorate your island!

    Morning Tarah…. That milk glass is really lovely – now give it back to your Mum!! I am wondering if you are going to have paying guests this coming Summer? It might help a bit with the budget. I do this with a well known website, and this is my sixth year. I find it really fun, I sit at home and the world comes to me!!

      Oh wow Susan, I never considered that I’ll have to look into it, that would be a lot of fun!

    Have a look at my site on AirBnB – Town Bridport, Dorset. My page is called “Airy Room in 200 year old house” and on there I am Mrs Mac.

    Tarah I just love the milk glass tray. It looks so lovely on the island with those yummy looking pastries. A wonderful way to greet guests!

    Hi Tarah – love milk glass. I’ve been handed down a few pieces from my mum. Your centrepiece is so fresh and lovely as is your blog. Found it via the Inspire Me Monday Link Up and realised I already follow you on Instagram. Love me some DIY so feel right at home at Grandmas House.

    Love that milk glass pastry stand, it’s such a gorgeous piece and I bet it could tell a few stories too. The whole setup looks welcoming and oh so pretty.
