Vignettes

I am always looking for ways to display items that are near and dear to my heart and I struggle when I try to place things that I love in a grouping that doesn't look fixed but natural and simple.   I am drawn to rumpled linens in colors of stone, grey, and white, lavender buds, and old, worn, faded items and whenever I come across vignettes that have this look I like to spend time wondering about the items and the history that surrounds them.

I found some very lovely photos via e-magDECO taken by Laetitia Russetto who is the magazine founder and writer.  These photos are of a beautiful old farmhouse in Au Bend Of An Alley, a charming village near Uzes decorated by a woman named Christine that Laetitia did an article on.  I think these are gorgeous vignettes and wanted to share them with you.

Beautiful old cabinet.

The grey door with the pink ballet slippers so pretty.

I love all the cubbies for storage.

Great view from the top looking down. I love the Chandelier and floors.

I love the patina on this clock as well as the books stacked upon the cabinet.

Here are a few more vignettes from Pinterest that are really lovely as well.

I love the mirror.

Look at this beautiful grey bookshelf and all the beautiful books.

Simple Beauty

All of these vignettes are gorgeous and each have items that hold special memories.  Some perhaps, given or purchased as a memento.  Sometimes, a simple ribbon, twine, old letters, books, and pottery placed in just the right way can make a beautiful statement about the person who created them.
