This display of pumpkins looks good.It's looking better.Now it looks it's best.You can use items you already have
to give height to your display.
to give height to your display.
(Old silverware boxes work great too)Cake or candle pedestals work really well.Books and plant stands are great
for achieving height.Next time you see an old cutting board
at the thrift store, buy it.Freshened up with paint,
it gives height and looks great too.A little lift will make your vignettes go
from flat to fabulous!

ReplyDeleteThanks for more great ideas.....love the pumpkins in the cups!

thank you for sharing those tips! I often don't think of ways to use what I already own. :-)

My grandma was an antique dealer for years and her shops were always so pretty. I remember her creating heights with all kinds of things. I wish she would blog her house. It is amazing. I knew height added a lot but you have given me great ideas of things to look for and use. Your a genius.
ReplyDeleteYou've given me some GREAT ideas. I have a little fall display on my armoire and I was thinking how much nicer it would be if some of the things were staggered in heights. I've got some serious thinking to do. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas! I love posts about using things that we already have around the home! I love being able to look at something in a whole new way too!
ReplyDeleteI just love the pumpkin/tea cup vignette. What a fabulous idea! Thank you for sharing your creativity!
ReplyDeleteLove it...You are so right about the "lift"...the pumpkins in the teacups are so cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it...I always do!

ReplyDeletegreat inspiration
Sarah
Love it all! Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a cutting board, I have one of those, I would love to see pictures of where you use yours. Are you going to paint it, or leave it natural?
ReplyDeleteYou're so right! Everything looks more elegant when elevated or put under a cloche! The cutting board is a great idea. I always use books because I can't think of anything else to use.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip...
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! Now I am just trying to find the balance between raising things up and keeping somethings lower. I am getting there though. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Joy,
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how something so simple can make such a difference! Great before and after pic of the 3 pumpkins!
It's neat to see that you enjoy what you do so much. Beautiful work, Thanks for the ideas.
ReplyDeleteEverything is Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration!
I have been keeping my eye out for some thick candlesticks. Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteUsually when I look at something I have done and it doesn't seem quite right it is the varying height thing. Good demo. Jackie
ReplyDeleteWhat a great display tutorial--such useful ideas. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove the witch on the broom! Great piece! ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using things you already have around the house...and my husband will like that too, since he is getting tired of me seeing all these cute projects on blogs and running out to Hobby Lobby "just for a few little things"!
ReplyDeleteCarrie
