Surrounding Beauty: Spring/Summer Vignettes

One of the things I enjoy the most as the seasons change is creating different vignettes on my tabletops. I tend to do this on a seasonal basis rather than according to holidays because I get more mileage out of them that way, translated: I don’t have to change them as frequently!

Here are two vignettes I created in my great room…
I love cherubs and angels. Last year Prince Charming saw these cherubs in a grocery store (keep your eyes open, girls!) and brought them home to me….there is a third one which I’ll share with you soon.

This table is in the corner of the room at one end of the sofa, near the window. Notice how the cherubs wings are reflected in the small mirror that I placed on an easel behind it.
Varying shades of soft greens, pinks and yellows
are the color scheme in this room…it is always warm, cheery and welcoming!
This vignette is on the coffee table…the table I found at a thrift shop somewhere…it is handpainted on top and is a bit “chippy” or “lovingly worn in”…I love it and have occasionally thought about painting it, but just can’t bring myself to cover up the pretty hand painting.
 
Again I have incorporated a mirror, this time under the vignette…mirrors are a great way to reflect light and/or a pretty arrangement. No matter what your style tastes, there are mirrors available that will reflect your sense of style (pun intended!). Check out discount stores, consignment shops and thrift shops for the most affordable options!
Next time I’ll share with you the third cherub…in yet another mirrored vignette!
Be inspired to reflect your sense of style and beauty…go create a pretty vignette that will make you smile every time you see it!

I’m linking this today to A Stroll Thru Life, where Marty is hosting Table Top Tuesday…stop by and check out the rest of the beautiful tabletops!
