Playing Around With Vignettes....

We all have them, vignettes. Those places on top of our end tables, coffee tables, counters, dressers, dining tables, etc. Places that we "display" our treasures.

It is an easy way to get pops of color in our rooms, and easy way to show our personalities, and you can use just about anything to do it!

For example, here on my kitchen island, I have a colander, candle jar and pepper mill.

The key to a great vignette is to cluster 3 things. Odd numbers will ALWAYS be more pleasing to the eye than even numbers of things. Odd numbers of treasures will make sense to the human eye, while even numbers will be perceived as "off". (this is not the same when hanging symmetrical photos tho....another post!)

I added even more color to the colander by filling it with apples (which spilled out & I liked that look) but alas, the apples do not last, however, were quite tasty!!!

So play around, have fun, show your treasures!!!!

I will post another "exception to the rules" (rules are, at times, made to be broken!) tomorrow!

Have a fabulous Tuesday!!
