When I found this landscape, I knew it had to go behind my mosaic cottages. Even though the display was finished. I took it apart and redid it all, not just this shelf, but the whole cabinet. I had to distribute some of the things that had been on this shelf to the other levels so the painting wouldn’t be completely blocked.
Because I tend to layer so much that I block a lot. Like the mirror on the wall in this photo.
What mirror? Well the one I hung in December that no one has ever seen because it has had so much in front of it.
Since I am a stacker, piler, and layer-er, I am careful to have most price tags prominently displayed. People don’t have to risk causing an avalanche to get something down if it isn’t a price point they appreciate.
If I can do it, the tags are easy to find, but not right in your face.
Other times they are directly on the face. Ha, get it?
Seriously, I try not to overcrowd, but it ends up that way anyhow.
Ceiling to floor.
Speaking of ceilings, for summer, I have added butterflies to the entrance. They didn’t have quite enough umph, so I also hung frames around them.
My jewelry area got a makeover too.
Did I mention that I like to layer things? This is pretty full.
By piling so much on the furniture, shoppers miss those pieces. I’m trying to use larger tags on them to see if that helps. I’ll have to make one for this cool chair. I’ve had it in my breezeway for a year now, and really liked it, even though it doesn’t seem like my typical look, I thought it was cute there with a basket of rosemary on it.
Also not my style? Red, white, and blue.
Still, I found so many, many more things I really liked in those shades, that I once again, went overboard.
My plan was to do groupings in these tones and fill a small area. Before I knew it, I had so many pretty items that over filled a whole wall.
Plus, I threw in bags of marbles and of buttons to coordinate and make more splashes of color.
To be honest? I prefer neutrals with floral accents. But- ya gotta know your crowd. I think the shoppers there enjoy the mix. And I really do have fun putting it all together, no matter what colors I use.
And I ended up loving the final look. Maybe I am a red, white, and blue fan after all?
