These were all so enjoyable...thanks for the vignettes. I love the ones that include a vintage photo and I try to do the same ... it just makes a room a bit more personal for me. The vignette that brought a smile was #16 with the little white birdies perched on the vertical books! So sweet and a great idea!

I@CoffeeNut  Your vignette is gorgeous!  Looks very elegant yet rustic.

They're all very nice but like the bright mixed colors in 7, 8 & 9 as well as the mixed subtle neutrals in 11.

Love those vignettes! 

We have art niches all over our house built in 2000 which were popular then.  Can be a challenge as to ignore them & leave empty or fill them.

This one is in my line of sight as it is directly below the TV. It's a non essential space but I've added things I like including the hammered copper pitcher on the left that sat on our brick fireplace hearth growing up.

These snaps have inspired me! I especially love the little white birds on top of the old books. I have several  books scattered about , and will be copying that idea, THANK YOU! ❤️😍🥰

@spiderw ,  I've always enjoyed your constantly renewed zest for decorating, and love of, and incorporation of, old books, with your other objects.  Somehow, the synergy of books with decorative objects and flowers, is so soulful.  Thanks for creating in word pictures all that you do in your decorating process.

 

@rockygems123 ,  I love your hammered copper piece!  I love hammered metal, and especially the soft appearance of hammered copper.   What a treasured memento, and to get to savor it and the memories every day is a blessing.

 

Love that people enjoyed those chatting little birds-- they took my fancy too, probably rendering their pungent reviews of the books they were perched on....

There are endlessly diverse arrangements out there, I can never boil them down to a few.

 

The kitchen is one room where I do subscribe to "less is more",  and prefer clean stretches of counter, with only the bare necessities kept out.

 

These are rather nice though, for different reasons:

 

Fancy and fully stocked:

The beauty and utility of a few, but well-chosen items.  Reminds me of a modern version of a European still life:

This living room vignette caught my eye for its use of color--

This one, for the moody atmosphere and hints of lilac in lampshade, painting and flowers--

You don't often see drinking glasses used in coffee table vignettes.  I love the way these pretty, etched, spring-like ones encircle the unusual vase--

Vignettes is how I decorate my fireplace mantel---have no room/ place for decor---I do have stuff for the walls but don't change them out--- I decorate for each season as well as for the holidays---I have so many different objects that seem not to play well  with the others,  but all together  they look great.

Styling flat surfaces is fun, but challenging.  Thanks, @Oznell , for sharing some inspiration pictures.
