Decorating With…….
Vintage Luggage
Because there are no hard and fast rules on objects that can be used for decorating its more about how you group them and what you group together…..
…and like I have said before, choose and item and just be confident that your instincts are right when you stand back and look at your items. They will tell you if something isn’t quite right.
With this in mind, take on the “less is more” effect….and layer and re configure until it does feel right.
Look at your collection of items and spot the odd one out and don’t be afraid to give it a holiday from your decorating collection….
Think of it like this, your most favourite tweed jacket is so timeless and in a great colour but the Chinese collar and long length just are not whats “in”…you always get compliments but you have been wearing it for the last 2 winters…..and now you feel it just time for a new one with an up to date shape…..You don’t have to give it away. You just need to put it back in the cupboard for a bit of a holiday…..

I love to decorate with bottles, candles, vases, collections of objects, books …. and the list goes on. I think as long as you decorate from the heart, your house becomes a home. Have a good week. Look forward to your next post. Michelle
