Following on from my previous post, here is a collection of decorative items grouped together in a display. This may seem overly decorative but changing displays in your home can be just as refreshing for your home as a new outfit,  shoes or hairstyle for yourself.  Just as we like to pamper ourselves from time to time, a little pampering for your home can brighten up a dark corner, a boring view or bare wall.

Sometimes I like to come up with a new setting or decor feature for a special occasion, dinner party, afternoon tea or expected visitors. It can be as simple as rearranging a few items & furniture in a room, bringing out china & glassware to display, or showing off a new purchase or newly recreated piece. They are only temporary displays and tend to linger on for a while until something new comes up. But you can chose to keep them as a more permanent display.

You could use a collection of your favourite things next to something new you’ve been given or purchased.  The photo below shows a group or my Recreated Treasures – a tall planter, small vase, an elegant slimline jug, three little vases sitting graciously on an oval try, all standing quite elegantly on a soft, pink chiffon table cloth which has been ruffled up around them, and backed by another cloth of lace & fringing. There is a sense shabby elegance about this setting.

Have a go at experimenting yourself with different settings. You may surprise yourself at what you find & what you come up with ….. enjoy it.
