We've had a break in the heat here in Atlanta and the weather has been great. With temps in the 90's for over 2 weeks in May....I was thinking it's going to be a long frizzy hair summer....haha
The other day I posted a picture in Instagram thinking "I got nothing good to post today so I will just slap up a small corner of my clean house". You know "party clean".
Well geez it must have been a slow day on "the gram" cause it got quite a few likes and that got me to thinking that maybe I will do a "look for less"....or "how to recreate the look" for y'all in case anyone is interested.
You know....all 20 of you! Hee Haw.
So here is the picture.....
It's just a few of my favorite things.....
So let's start with the magnolia branches. Lucky for me they are plentiful in the south and I have 3 "little gems" in my back yard which is basically a smaller version of a magnolia tree. If you can't just run out in the back yard a cut branches then you can always go faux......[no judging]
Next up is my swan art which is original by Dawne Raulet. It is one of my favorite possessions and will be under my arm when I run out the door. In fact I want to be buried with it.
I found a few for you that won't break the bank but still give you a good look!
Mix in some other art on the gallery wall.....Here are a few I used on my One Room Challenge from Minted! Also just to show you.....here I took an old frame and put a vintage letter in it....be creative...frame anything.
Add some black and white books.....all found on Amazon.
To stack on top of the books a black box with gold accents. Mine came from West Elm many years ago but I found a few for you that won't break the bank!
I found the statues online and a few other items that I think could also work! These are for some height.
The other side....
I got my sunburst mirror at HomeGoods many years ago and I really looked for one similar that wasn't crazy expensive and in stock. I was amazed to only find one.... but the other things will give you a round shape!
I found this bust at Ballard Design I actually found mine at.....wait for it....HomeGoods.
And to finish up....
Some crystal balls.
Did I leave anything out? Yes.... the old concrete bowl with the limestone water filtration balls. I searched everywhere for you and I did find some on Etsy and Ebay but they were already sold. I got mine at Scott's and if you want some [and you aren't local] then you will have to come here and get them!
That's all I have for ya. Get to work creating your own vignette.
It's Friday y'all!
Take it up a notch this weekend.....

Love it! Since I shared this photo on FB, I'll have to add the link to this post - it's brilliant! I have a twin Diana bust (vintage from an antique shop) like yours in my studio...kindred! Bon weekend, gorgeous - you make social media bearable (shhhhhh - i'm only on it for b'iness not pleasure and know i would probably feel differently had i hopped on IG and Pinterest earlier than 2017 and picked up a few followers!). xox
that second swan print has a duplicate link to the third swan.
