My Favorite Design Elements

Hello everyone!

Now that the Christmas decorations have been packed away and the clouds in the sky have parted, I took inventory of the things in my family room that give it the look that I like.  They overlap into other rooms in my house as well.

Even though I change things up a good bit, these things stay constant.

For example, I love a grouping of greenery somewhere.  Here I placed several small potted plants in a galvanized tray on my coffee table.

I love topiaries and weathered wood as displayed on my mantel.

I have an affinity for white dishes.  They don't have to be old and expensive either.  I just like the look.

(Sorry for the glare in this photo.)

I love a painted floor clock.  It also doesn't have to be an original Mora clock either.  

With having a mostly grey and white color palette, I find there is a need for texture somewhere.  This wicker trunk fits the bill perfectly.

I've kept accessories very simple and neutral as well.  This moss ball brings another layer of texture too.  

I like the contrast between this glitzy chandelier

and this coffee table with chippy paint.

I also like a few glass items since they add a touch of airiness to the room.

And finally, I always have a spot for throws to cover up with at night.  

These get used quite a bit!

So, there you have it.  An inventory of items I'm drawn to and have collected for this space.

Do you have a certain look that you're drawn to as well?

Thanks for stopping by.
