I understand having something decorative on the DR table but our kitchen table is where we eat 3 meals a day and I would not want to have to deal with something there, having to be moved all the time so I could put our food out. I also wonder - when you all make these vignettes and have them out on your mantel or tables etc - how do you dust them? I am a bit of a clean freak - having something out for 6 or more weeks collecting dust does not appeal to me at all.

Yes morning lover, between you and me i never dust a thing.

Really, that's the only snarky thing you have to throw out there??

Thanks for posting these! You always find the most beautiful stuff!

I decorate with vignettes throughout the house. I feel it enables you to take things you have, mix them up for different settings, holidays and occasions, and then I don't feel the need to buy "holiday" items. I get more use out of the things I have, without having to buy things that are only for one season or holiday. It is fun to see just how many different ways you can use what you already have and love.

Happy Housewife, decorating like this does require constant change every few weeks, or at the very least, tearing down and cleaning, then reassembling the display. It isn't for someone who doesn't enjoy housework or time spent maintaining. During the busy summer months, I do less of this, because I don't have the time to keep them as clean as I want. I tend to do it more for fall through winter.

whitelinen--these are darling! I love creating tablescapes, and was inspired from these pictures to change up the one I have at the moment! I have a collection of various roosters in different media,--some realistic, some funky--all unusual, and a little scale like the one pictured, with handpainted designs.Thanks so much for posting these!

I have no problem with placing objects on the table--since our kitchen is tiny, we eat at the dining room table, and I plate the food before serving. (I've always done this anyway!) Confidentially, I never dust a thing either!

I'm so glad I caught up with you!--a while back you posted pic of a painted hutch, and I loved the color palette that was used (the hutch, not so much!) I think it was from Pinterest--how would I go about finding it?--my daughter was going to make a copy for me--I don't have a printer! Thanks again!

ETA--Hmm--this won't let me add my winking emoticon, after my dusting comment! What's up with that?!

So beautiful. I must confess my table only has unopened mail and a board game on it that I haven't put away yet. These ideas inspire me to do better.

Thanks for posting the pics. Lovely. I have so much fun creating vignettes for tables, kitchen counters, corners, etc. I really like the two layer basket with the bunny in the top and the bird in nest underneath.

Arrange it all artfully and everyone will think it's a vignette!

Beautiful without a doubt - alas, there are ten cats running around my house so none of these would last more than ten minutes . . . .

I really like the one with the old scales I do dust but it is so worth every cleaning when you can have something so pretty or cute. Thanks for sharing.
