I've been spending so much time these past few months on the garage, I though It was time to do some organizing, and rearranging inside.
Simple, right? Wrong. I spent a ridiculous amount of time on just one spot. Something I don't normally do. I'm blaming it on fatigue.
It started with the vignette above. Then,
I thought the clock face I painted would make a better backdrop. The tray made the whole area too dark. Adding shades of white and grey lightened it up.
After posting both pics on FB, some liked the tray, and some liked the clock face. However, it was my good friend Nancy who said she liked the tray and the clock face, but, didn't care for the scale. She thought it was too commonly used in vignettes. Too normal for me.
I actually use this scale for weighing packages I ship. It's always somewhere in the living room. However, after our email exchange, I decided she was right. It may actually be going in the kitchen, Nancy. LOL

I moved the lamp, and added two vintage bottles, an old photo, weathered book, and my cherub. Hmmmmmm, still not happy.
Then, I thought about my hanging basket. The one in my studio.
I recently added crystal beads, and a candle to it. The candle is sitting on an old tin jar lid.
I took the basket off, rearranged the beads a little, and, sat it on the table.
Okay, liking it.
Then, I didn't like the old photo there. So, I changed it to a stack of vintage numerical book pages.

I thought the bottle might work, but..................No. My cherub just looks cool with the clock.
The vintage numerical pages needed something too. How about a gold leafed snifter.
Let's call this is my version of Fall decor. A little unusual, but, so am I. LOL
Thanks for the push, Nancy. This feels better.
Oh yes, I want to thank the troopers who came to my impromptu sale. Even with silly hot weather one day, and a downpour the next, dedicated customers braved both. Every time a box full of stuff, cabinet, stand, etc., walked away, I was thrilled.
