One thing I love to see is pretty tabletop decor. Meaning, accessories, keepsakes, photos, treasures, anything meaningful placed on a table and arranged in a certain way. I don’t believe everything should be confined to a drawer or basket and hidden. If you have pretty stationary, display it. If you have fun memories captured by a photo, frame it. If you have gorgeous book covers, stack them up pyramid style and place a paperweight on it. It’s a fine line before you reach cluttered territory but hopefully the pictures from this post will inspire you & help you to understand what I’m talking about. I’ll be doing two more posts in the near future very similar to this, also about the placement of things. Stay tuned…but for now, indulge. {the Decorista}
