Wednesday, June 27, 2012

Creating vignettes and accessorizing is probably the most fun you can have decorating. The possibilities are many, and if you use found object and things you already have, free!

What's your go to object when you decorate a surface?

Squeak said...: You're absolutely right - creating vignettes and accessorizing is definitely the most fun you can have decorating!

My favorite decorative objects are things from nature - seashells, coral, sea sponges, minerals, fossils, antlers/horns, feathers, pinecones, etc. But I also love to display paintings, urns, small sculptures and pretty, everyday objects like a magnifying glass or attractive bottle.

I love putting my treasures under domes or on top of small stacks of books. There's hardly a table, shelf or mantle in the house that doesn't have something displayed on it!; June 27, 2012 at 3:14 PM
