Naturally Adorned


This is the vignette on the coffee table in the great room. I used the vintage style tool box that I bought a few months ago and filled it with the pine cones I ordered, some webbing I had on hand, a candle, and antlers thrown in, of course. All this sets on top of a vintage grain sack and some sprigs of Leland cypress greenery from the yard.














Sorry about the picture overload, but I had too much fun practicing my photography with this.

All this was thrown together just using what I had except a couple of large pine cones.

I love the centerpiece, adding the upholstery webbing was great idea!I also love the pillow with the branches and berries, it makes a lovely background.

Kim that is really lovely. I love the rustic simplicity of it. It is Christmassy but could stay all through the winter. Gorgeous!

I love it! I love using old wooden caddies for centerpieces. In fact, you've reminded me that I have one still in the storage room (I still haven't 100% unpacked from our move-sheesh!) that would be fabulous on our family room coffee table! Ok, off to copy you =)

I never see anything as photography overload. The more pics the better. I love what you created, I think it should be in a magazine. The pillow in the background with holly on it is amazing also:) Thanks for coming to the party tonight!
