What is Take 5 you ask…well it is a collection of 5 things that I think you will all enjoy! It can be themed…random…food…crafts…home decor and everything in between. Hopefully you will love them enough to take 5 minutes out of your busy day… relax and enjoy!
Looking for a little Cottage Facelift…it
is easy and quick…just add some accents and your room will get a lift and tons of character as an added bonus!
Some times that little lift is so easy and does such wonders!
So here is a little bit of
Inspiration!
Why not add a vintage bench to a room and then have a great time adding to it’s natural beauty. A chippy bench just screams for some bottles…vases…cloches…flowers…bits and bobbles and then the addition of a basket that can store items that you use in the room is just a bonus. It doesn’t have to be a bench…it can be a little stool…a side table and the list goes on…many times you can pull it together with what you all ready have and that is an added bonus!
How about a vintage crate…a simple box…a tote of some sort…add some cups…silverware…maybe some candles…tart tins…vintage jewelry…a vase…decorations of the season…in minutes you can have a little work of art that can be displayed any where at all…a hutch…a dresser…a kitchen island or counter…the dining room buffet…add some vintage dishes about in pretty stacks and maybe a little bouquet of dried flowers…it’s easy!
Want a touch of Victorian Charm? A bit of romantic whimsy? A stack of letters…a bit of twine and some pretty forget-me-nots are just the thing. How beautiful does this look and I can think of 100 different spaces to place it in! So if you ephemera about in your thrift shop…flea markets…good will…don’t pass them by! If you are not lucky enough to find some…why not try the Graphics Fairy…she has beautiful postcards and letters that you can print and trim…and then you can fill it in with envelopes and such…create your own arrangement…there are many options. Once again…easy…inexpensive and quick!
Here’s another little piece of Vintage Victorian charm! A simple glass jar…add a beautiful image to it…fill it with lace…pearls…flowers or anything that you love and want to display until it over flows…how absolutely perfect and could it be easier?
Well this picture offers a tons of inspiration…I just LOVE the idea of the vintage straw bag on the table holding loaves of bread!   Then another bit of inspiration is adding a ruffled seat cover to the chairs…with one little change…it looks like a new room…can you spot any other ideas here…I can…hope you enjoy it!
Giving your rooms a little bit of a face lift does not have to be complicated…expensive…or time consuming…but it should be fun and enjoyable! Hope a bit of inspiration was given here and I am sure you are coming up with ideas as we speak!
