I lack the accessorizing gene .. need help please.
Comments (31)I love everything you have picked up and for that price I am sooo jealous! I never have that kind of luck. I would try the two lamps with a barrel/drum type shade and try hanging the butterflies vertically in a row between the two lamps. This may sound weird but I think it would keep the eye level. However, I just looked back and I don't think three will fit vertically keeping along the same line as the lamps with even taller shades. Maybe hang two horizontally and one centered underneath the other two, yet still all centered between the lamps. The void on each side of the lower picture would allow a two taller items on the buffet within the lamps or allow something else to hang on each side of the lower picture. I don't know if any of this is making sense. I would however, definately keep a platter or toureen or bowl there in the center of the buffet though with those wonderful shells in it....See MoreI need help accessorizing fireplace cabinets----pics---
Comments (11)Thank goodness for the home decorating forum. This site has been very helpful to me also. I have become much better at accessorizing over the years, because of looking at all sorts of books and magazines, and there are quite a few sites that will teach you the in's and out's of accessorizing (if you believe there's such a thing). What it does, it provides you with a basic understanding of tablescaping, or accessorizing. I feel it has helped me develop an eye for what works, and what doesn't. Just play with what you have until you feel good with what you've come up with. Sometimes you come up with something you like on the first try. Sometimes you have to just give up for the time being....See MoreNeed help accessorizing my gray/white kitchen (warm it up!)
Comments (29)Love the ideas above. I'm like you love the natural and not so into colour. I've got herbs bamboo blinds and a Big end grain cutting board in our black and white kitchen. I've also got a small wool rug on the floor with deep reds and blues. The Dutch put these rugs on their tables and mine is probably too valuable to go on the floor but it sure looks nice....See MoreHelp...my fireplace surround is ugly and I need to give it character.
Comments (9)HI -- There is two much texture and busy pattern with the brick going one way and the wood going another ...it's cluttered and dark looking . If the wood can be removed then do that and replace with drywall and or tile that in the same direction as the bricks , on the horizontal. I would paint that whole wall one color like the wall color . Then the texture speaks for itself . You say you don't want to spend too much so a live edge shelf/mantel would be very expensive . So basically you just need to simplify the look of that whole wall so it blends into the room and looks more modern ....See MorePam Heskett
