Vignette






I rather like a pretty vignette. I think the key is to keep it personal. Use what you love and things that have meaning. No one wants to live in a showroom.

  2. I totally agree about the things being personal. I look at some homes in magazines and they look so styled and as you said 'showroom' like.

    You chose some stunning arrangements.

    Hope you are enjoying a great weekend.

  5. Very inspirational images. There's a lot going on in each of them but they still look "undecorated" in a good way.

  6. I'm inspired to zip back to the thrift store for a mirror EXACTLY like the one in the second vingette. Wish I could thrift those lamps!

  9. Whenever I try and use books/magazines in a vingette it looks like someone forgot to put them away. How do I get them to look this great???
    Love all the pictures.

  18. I am so with you girl - show rooms are stiff and not very personal!

    Love, love, love the images you picked. My favorite is probably the last one - with the b/w photos together with the empire chest. I have always liked contrasts.

    Happy Monday!

    Cyber hug, Mon
