All About the Details...
My favorite part of designing a space has to be the accessories. They are what complete the overall look and tie everything together - the same way accessories compliment and complete an outfit. It's the special little details that really stand out and make all the difference. Whether it's a collection of vintage china stacked and displayed beautifully on a shelf, or random finds grouped together to create interest, stacks of colorful books on a coffee table, or a carefully curated art wall...all of these little bits and pieces are what make the overall look and feel of a space come to life. They are what personalize it and make it feel like home. And the best part is that they're easily changeable - all you have to do is move things around and switch out couple pieces when it's time for a decor refresher! It's all about showcasing what you love and what makes you smile. How do you feel about accessories and details? Please share tips, ideas, opinions, etc!

Oh I feel the same way about accessories in a room. I have boxes of them, because I change my mind so often. I have found that I do all the accessorizing and then do the old jewelry trick (take one away before you leave).
ReplyDeleteI have not visited for awhile, so I am going to go cruise your blog :)
Oh my goodness I love the pics!!! So inspiring, thanks! Esp. the white kitchen pics:-)
ReplyDeletethese are all such gorgeous photos. I just love them all! :-)

Great photos. I love accessories so much I have too many. Since our house has been in remodel status for quite some time, I buy things and stash them for a later date. You know, when things are "ready". When we started our master suite remodel, I found six whole storage containers worth of accessories. I'm going to have a fun time finding a home for all this stuff I forgot I had :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that grouping of art on the blue, chevron wall! I am working on a 'gallery' wall in my living room and I hope it turns out as fabulous as this one!!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! The devil (or beauty) is in the details! I'm so in love with vintage everything at the moment, and I've been adorning myself with vintage jewelry and clothing (as shown in my latest blog post, lol)...so I can't wait to dress up my home the same way. I still mostly have old college furniture (even 4 years later) and really look forward to moving out and up into a home I can fill with wonderful touches and details that I really love.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. :)

i love these, especially that coffee table! what a great idea. my many many magazines are all hidden out of sight. i forget they're there!
ReplyDeleteLoved this post and the pics...later this week I was going to do a similar post...even title, now will have to rework that, but will gladly do so....PLUS, when I do I shall send a link back here to this post as it is lovely!
ReplyDeleteOH and I so agree!
Thanks for continuing to inspire me
I change my accessories around home just like I change my jewellery, perfect statement! I mainly move things about depending on the seasons and the visitors coming over. Love your blog it's been a great inspiration and motivator to me ;o)
ReplyDeleteI love accessories and no house is a home without them. They're what provide the personality! I have oodles of accessories and switch them out regularly (particularly pillows). It keeps things looking fresh and current.
ReplyDeleteAs an artist with a strong love for painting still lifes and interiors, home accesories are crucial for my inspiration. I have gathered so much over the years that it would be impossible to display them all at the same time. I keep editing, my interior is ever evolving.
ReplyDeleteI love accessories. Vases, books, rugs, cushions and pillows...they make a home personal and feel welcoming.
ReplyDeleteP.S. That blue dresser = amazing.
I totally agree. Accessories make the outfit just as they make the room! You can dress something up or down based on accessories...and you can change the feel of a space with new accessories. It is an inexpensive way to make some changes.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics- I especially love the mantel with the teacups.
Wow, this is all so beautiful. All the amazing details and gorgeous colors. It has inspired me to update my house (one baby step at a time!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning collection! I LOVE to move accessories around, instant and free updates! Not sure how I have missed your gorgeous blog all this time, but I won't any more! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! It's definitely all in the details :)
ReplyDeleteI love the photo with all of the different art hanging above the armchair.
ReplyDeletephotos, mixed with modern, mixed with paintings... so different but it all works!
thanks for sharing!
