I cannot help myself. Always on the prowl to tweak or fluff. It's a lot easier to create vignettes
than to remodel and so that's what I do...
a lot.
It's especially a "must" after receiving a FABULOUS gift!!! The books above are vintage and entitled "The Life of ____." (our last name!). I squealed like a little girl and even My Guy was blown away.
They deserved a spot on our coffee table.
And often while in the blogosphere I see that certain sumpin-sumpin that I must carry out myself! A friend pointed me to what Katie did! And then Vava did it too. I zoomed to Lowe's for a painter's drop cloth to drape my dining table. A cheap, chic look!
And then tossed a Venetian mirror (another gift from a pal) atop said cloth....and sprinkled candles around.
My table cloth does not look as styled as Katie-did's does; so I can't post a full length picture yet.
But you see the texture - color of it???? It's just yummy!
After Christmas is the perfect time to look around and tweak a bit. On my buffet I changed out trays but kept my "Christmas vignette" in tact. I'll probably keep the ornaments here for a while...some are old and vintage and I {{{love}}} Christmas...so why not?
Then there were the six botanicals in the dining room that nobody saw...
I moved them out to the foyer with a couple new lamps. With the prints filling up the entire inset wall,
my tiny foyer seems bigger.
I dig change and think it's good for the soul. A positive to havingclutter collections/stuff around is I
can shop my own home!

ALL of this looks so great...I am doing some "fluffing" today too! xoxo
You have such a good eye for arranging things. I keep everything the same. I'm happy I found one way to like it.
Those books are great.
