Inspired by my new favourite book, last night I decided to attempt a little vignette using some new and old items from around my home. I filled the birdcage with as many white items I could fit - mostly figurines, a candle, shell and you're probably wondering why I have an "&" (and) symbol in there, I would prefer to put the letter "A" but I don't have one as yet :)
I love this old chippy table. It stands in my hallway so this is what people see when they walk in.
Let me know what you think. Did I get it completely wrong or have I passed? lol
(apologies for my poor photography skills lol)
(apologies for my poor photography skills lol)p.s For a really fabulous post about The New French Decor book and lots of scanned pictures, check out Paris Hotel Boutique :)
This is one of my favourite, favourite books and a great source of inspiration for me. I am forever making compositions and re-arrange my mad collections all the time. I am constantly amazed at how many different looks can be created with the same objects - it just takes time and masses of imagination. I love your vignette - especially the birdcage.
ReplyDeleteYour vignette looks lovely Anna!

great job! Love the book too.
ReplyDeleteHey there! I linked back to a post of yours today. Unfortunately, for the first 1,000 people that read the post today my LINK DIDN'T WORK! Eeek. That is what I get for doing too many things at once. I fixed it now, sorry I blew it.

looks good to me, my friend Janet collects Ampersands (&) so now when ever I see one I think of her.
ReplyDeletePass! If this were my hallway table, I'd tuck a green-covered book in with the others; or add a pink flower to the tiny blue vase - or to the inside of the brass candle holder...
ReplyDeleteAnna, thanks so much for mentioning Paris Hotel Boutique in your post! Your vignette is great. That book is sure inspiring isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLovely blog by the way. All the best, Lynn
Great work Anna. I haven't got the book that inspired you vignette (will have to put it on my birthday list!, but I do have all the books on your table! I love leafing through them and dreaming.

Thank you so so very much everyone for your comments. I can't tell you how much your enouragement means to me.
ReplyDeleteI must say I've become a little obsessed with my creation and find myself admiring it often as I have a great view of it from my living room hehe.
Anna :)
Lovely Anna! I would send you a small posy of champagne coloured David Austin roses if I could. I think I see a corner of your gorgeous table to put them!

Very romantic and magical. I am thrilled to have found your blog. I used to live with people from Australia in England but we all lost touch. Maybe I'll try and find them again.
