Little pieces

I really, really enjoy interior photography (if you can't tell already). Part of what I enjoy about photographs of peoples homes are the little snippets taken, sweet vignettes of pieces of the space that feel special. I'm the type of person that likes to see the big picture...I want to know how all the little pieces add up. Today, though, I want to share little bits of well designed spaces. When I think about our new space, it can be overwhelming because there's so much blank space. To help abate the anxiety, I'm trying to focus on little areas and building them up in layers to create enjoyable places for your eyes to rest. I'll show you my space soon, but until then...here are some other people's handiwork.

This is vintage simplicity done right. I love the roughed up look of the vintage suitcases compared to the rich detail of the rest of the space.

We have so many books and I'm having to keep finding more and more places to put them. I like the idea of a little clock placed on top of a stack of books.

During the summer, I miss having my boots laying about (sort of looking like they belong to the decor).

After seeing this picture, I went out and bought two pieces of vintage luggage. The smaller piece is lime green and I placed it on my desk with a pink gerbera daisy on top. I say if you like an idea, take it, just remember where your inspiration came from.

I like that this individual is showcasing a piece most would try to hide.

Do you have a favorite vignette that you've set up?
