Feathers, Owls + Cocktails by the Fire
Post by Becca of CAKE
Welcome everyone! Cozy up around the fireplace and enjoy a glass of Pinot Noir… here are a few simple ideas to add ambiance to a fall dinner or cocktail party at home.
These soft and delicate feather garlands were easily created using a needle and thread to string quail and pheasant feathers in varying patterns (not to worry… no birds were harmed in the making of these garlands).
The owls were purchased at a discount store in an unattractive silver color. A few coats of flat white spray paint immediately modernized them and gave them the appearence of porcelain. It was such a simple fix that I’ve been resisting a strong urge to spray paint all of my household objects.
A mantle is always a natural home to display seasonal objects like these, but add a few bottles of wine and some cocktails to the mix and you have yourself a cozy party by the fire!
