An Eclectic Curated Vignette

These are a few of my favorite things--sourcing new to the pop-up shop treasures, finding one-of-a-kind, unique, vintage home decor, creating vignettes with the newly curated objects, and sharing styling and design tips with you. 

I put together these latest finds in a colorful, funky, eccentric vignette.

So let's start with the wall. I know I shared this in my previous post, but hanging a piece of fabric on a wall is a great way to add pattern and color and texture without a big commitment. A quilt, a curtain panel, a shower curtain, a piece of fabric all work. This hand-stitched, made in India quilt has different fabric on both sides. The golden mustard color on this side matches the little bench perfectly. A bench makes a great surface to create an interesting display on.

I love this watercolor and ink painting and may be keeping it if I can find a place to hang it. The colors are fantastic. The tile, art piece entitled Amethyst by Alphonse Mucha  is a little out of my normal color palette, but I loved it. The pink in it is repeated in the quilt, on the book cover it is sitting on, and in the upholstery trimmings displayed in the wood plant hanger on the bottom shelf.

A bag of candles became a candle bouquet in the vintage. Italian pitcher. three of the candles are used in the candle holders. Here's a tip, candles don't have to match each other. 

I've said it before and will say it again--repeat colors, elements, materials, textures. Use organic materials--note the wood beaded mirror, wood carved box, the wood candlestick, and the living plant. 

The antique gold candlesticks and antique gold key mimic the yellow gold on the bench and quilt. If I were keeping this display as part of my home, I would use antique gold Rub-n-Buff on the frame of the watercolor. 

Final tips--vary heights, create triangles, keep the observer's eye moving. Use what you love, what speaks to you and use vignettes to tell YOUR home's story rather than the local home decor store's aisle 12 display.
