Finishing Touches: Accessorizing with Style
The finishing touches to a home are what make a space feel lived-in, tying the home to the personality of it’s occupant. While the perfectly shaped vase may look fantastic, it’s that quirky shell found on the beach sitting next to it that makes the space special.
Here are a few tips to help jumpstart your accessories journey:
1. Display what you love. Whether it be a weird collection of antique chicken and bird toys (that’s me) or vintage books, make it visible to enjoy every day.
2. Edit your accessories. Look at each arrangement and ask yourself if it looks right. Sometimes taking away one of the objects helps complete the look.
3. Don’t take it so seriously. Who are you trying to impress anyway? Express your personality, it’s your home after all!

A short stack of books is an easy addition to any arrangement.
Using a subtle theme, such as birds, helps tie a space together in a quirky, personal way.
A collection of vintage cameras mix well with modern wallpaper and personal photos.
Displaying a collection of items in various sized containers works well.
Even though this is obviously a retail space, I like the idea of repeating objects with similar wood tones and obvious age.
A variety of plates create a pleasing arrangement on a crisp white wall.
Vintage globes and pottery, love it!
Classic, simple, and understated arrangement.
