Aww thank you Barb!! I’m so glad you stopped by 🙂
So pretty Sarah! I love the added touch of the jars for the flowers.
Thanks, Shani! I’m glad you like the sign!
I am not criticizing, I am just letting you and others think about this way as an alternative way to style your open shelves.
I group items on my shelves. Larger items in the back smaller items up front. Medium size in the middle. I try to always make a vignette
For example: A large whimsical rooster with a lamb and a small stuffed black cat. Then I have an old medium size bucket with the original red with the word apple on it. I filled it with carved balls. I incorporated a small bunched of grubby candles that I made myself tied up with some homespun fabric and last but not least a upcycled picture frame that I painted mustard and distressed with black . Both paints were chalk paint.
The candles were taper candles that I broke in half. I melted some old candles, added some loose tea and a fragrance and used coffee grounds. After the wax had cooled enough I spooned the wax over the candles, turning them as needed for full coverage. I repeated this step 4x’s to get the required thickness I wanted. Then tied them up with some homespun. They look great!
