Designing displays with books and trays!

Hi Readers,

This is my first post since before Christmas and New Year, I would just like to take this opportunity to wish everybody reading a Happy New Year and that they enjoyed their time off during the holiday season.

We are now two weeks in to the New Year and I'm sure many of us have mad new year's resolutions so don't be upset if it takes time to get used to them, just stick to it and you'll be fine!!!

Over the new year I did a lot of reading and these are some of my favourite books that I have now decided to incorporate into some of my designs.

The picture above showcases some memorobilia from the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee.

If you like working with different types of decorative carvings, you can also use them as
accessories on tables. These are some of my favourite design pieces.

I enjoyed finding this tray at a little antique shop.

Using the tray I have made a display using a wooden carved inlay showing

the past American presidents and I
have also combined it with the current president Barack Obama's

biography.



In this display below I am showcasing the wooden carving, the Barack Obama biography

and books with a Cartier Pen case.

Enjoy, and have a great day!!

Celebration of the Queen's Jubilee 2012

Good Morning Viewers!

Long time no see. I had to take a Summer break. This Summer was special because of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. So, in my return blog I just wanted to share with you how I have created some features of interior arrangements that celebrate the Jubilee. In the main I used items that I already had and combined them in settings that gave them an architectural feel.  Books and decorative pieces were juxtaposed with each other to give a sense of balance and scale. I hope you get inspired because you can do anything you want in decoration - as simple or as creative as you want. A key technique is using items you already have and MAKE IT YOUR OWN TASTE! :)  

All the best - Enjoy!

God bless all the Mothers in America!

Good evening ! This is repost after first posting it on UK Mother's day with some new thoughts added for US Mother's Day.

I hope all is well - I just wanted to share with you some thoughts about Mother's Day. Please remember family on her day. A mother is about who has been through the test of time. It can be a mother or step-mother. It can be sisterhood or a good friend. It can be another's mother, or mother-in-law. And let's not forget a grandmother!

So give a gift of kindness - I hope you ejoy these ideas.
