I shopped my house for shades or textures of white and this is what I chose to work with.
(please click pictures to enlarge)
Here you see the shades and textures of white. The rustic old weathered newel post, the hardness of the cement statue, the fragile (faux) tulips and the different textures of the frames ... and the glamor of the head band and the jewelry draped around her waist.
(I wore this headband to our Senior prom in 1950)
The frames are leaned up against a very tall mirror and you will see reflection of the wall and door across the room.
Then I started adding a little rustic movement to it with a touch of blue. More textures ... metal, a lace heart and a grapevine wreath from nature and a small terracotta pot.
The antique silk roses in the ironstone pitcher look very romantic ... showing another shade of white.
Bringing in the black antique child's chair and the ribbon tied stack of Bibles brings out the darkness in the old tarnished silver pitcher.
Which one do you like ?
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings.

ReplyDeleteWell, Audrey, you've made it very hard to choose...they are all so classically beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think the vignette that would fit best into my home is the last one, but just for it's beauty I think the one with the roses.
Congratulation on all of the features of your valentine mail box. You are just so dang talented!!
Hugs and blessings to you dear Audrey!

I love everything about your shabby chic vignettes. The one with the bird cage is my favorite, but I love the gorgeous picture fame in the first vignette and those pretty roses.

ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty-those antique roses are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a knack for decorating!! I love all the vignettes, but especially the one with the roses & the very last one with the little chair.
ReplyDeleteDo I have to choose? I love the first one because I have a thing for old silver and frames! There, I said it - but only because you made me!! You're my kind of move stuff around gal!

I love them all too, but my favorite is also the one with roses in the pitcher. I love the lines of old cream pitchers......add some flowers and there's nothing else as pretty.
ReplyDeleteI just love shades of white! These are some very pretty photos..I especially love those roses and that little cherub. Thanks for stopping in on my blog...now I'm your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful, but I'm partial to the one with the birdcage. You have such a talented eye for setting up vignettes. xo wendy
