I like to dress up things around the house. Adding just a little pop of something small to an accessory is just, well…cute!
It’s no secret I love ribbons and bows. I have them in several spots. I love big fat bows on a lamp shade.
I love ribbon on vases.
I love starfish too. Something about them is just so refreshing. You can just prop them up anywhere your heart desires.
I really love adding tassels to just about any accessory.
Something about apothecary jars and tassels just gets me happy.
Adding a tassel to your lamps really dresses them up.
My floor lamp seems so naked without my cross and tassel. It’s my holy lamp. I think it’s my fav though.
Add a tassel to your toilet.
Now, I know the toilet isn’t an accessory. It’s a necessity. But jazz it up with a tassel. Your guests will thank you! :)
And if you happen to have a cloche (this is considered a cloche right?) around the house and a pretty plate, a cupcake makes a great accessory to taunt your child with.
We didn’t taunt her very long, don’t worry. She did actually get to enjoy part of this cupcake. :)
You can add any of these things to just about any accessory you already have to give them new life. Just be creative and most importantly, be a rule breaker!
xxoo,
Decorchick!

I think adding the ribbon to the lamp is it a nice touch, a bit of femininity to it! And I love the starfish too :) I really love the little cloche the cupcake is on. I have some glasses that are designed like that. I know they have a name, can’t think of it at the moment. And how cute is your little girl with her chubby little cheeks! The best accessory ever!

I think I might have bows in a few more places too if I could only tie one right! :)
Yours are cute-cute!

I have a vase like the one you have the ribbon on and I love that idea. I might have to steal that one ;) I think I may even have some pinecones around here too…

Love it all! I’m so glad you are enjoying decorating your home! I’m home today cleaning and moving furniture around! I hope I find a garage sale today with some hidden treasures! :)

I, too, love ribbons. And that was so funny where you said you can use the cloche to taunt your child with! Ha-ha! She is just adorable, by the way!
Best,
