Hello Friends... the other day when I went on my Rainy Day Walk, I picked up a cool branch. I wanted to use it in my mantel display, and had to change things around, add and take away things that I had there already. It was too heavy to go in any of my vases, so this is what I did instead. What do you think?
I also revised the little dresser that's in the living room. There wasn't room for it in the bedroom, which is where I used to keep it. So now it's in the living room, with kitchen linens in two of the drawers, and electronics cords in the top drawer. I enjoyed redecorating the mantle! The mirror used to be on the floor, which was nice, but once I moved things around on the mantle shelf, I realized that it needed "grounding," with something dark. Otherwise the branch looked bizarre. What do you think?
A place where I can share the inspirations found around me with people who are also searching for some... (do I sound like Zoolander? Awesome.)

I like it very much! I'm a big fan of using 'naturals' in my decorating. I've got bowls of seashells and vases full of pussy willows and dried flowers. Your branch looks great on the mantle!
Thanks, Vicki! I have some pussy willows somewhere in the house... and obviously, seashells galore! We think alike!
It's a perfect way to display it! I love the way it looks in front of the mirror. I also love the contrasts with the plant and Eiffel tower statues. So inviting!
Thanks, Terri! "Inviting" is great to hear!
