Love these vintage skates. Simple vignette!
This rusty bird case was missing the bottom, but was perfect to cover a candle on my front porch. The sign below is vintage.
My front porch bench is all done up for Christmas. The sign is made from a door panel and painted with chalk board paint. The license plate was then added. The red piece below the tree is actually a chicken feeder.
These candleholders were from a church and I have a pair. They look stunning all lite up. My urns have a simple spruce tip and a lone red Christmas ball.
These were just birch twigs laid onto the chandelier. The bulbs were hung by thin wire for a dramatic affect! Unfortunately my kitty loves this arrangement, too!
This is a great way to arrange a collection of white flower pots! Makes a statement.
This is one of my favorite pieces. It was a plant stand from a front step. Glass was already added to the top when i purchased it. I added an additional grate to the top. The tree is sitting in a lamp base. The corbel I simply added the stencil, key and then waxed it.
Love this little vignette. The votive holders were added to the chippy post. Some old skates and greens were added to a vintage gate. The sign at the bottom was tin taken from a ceiling.
This "wave" was purchased as is. Thought it was a perfect addition to my bathroom!

The "Dream" sign above your bed is amazing. I am so glad you reposted Stacey's instructions on using a simple paint pen for the writing. I appreciate her idea with that. Thanks Stacey!
That wave of yours just knocks me over! Was that the first spot you thought of when you bought it? It is perfect there.
Yes, your collection of white flower pots in the locker basket DOES make a statement.
Oh goodness...I better stop there. Thanks for the great ideas, Lani! There is a lot of style in your home!
Take care,
Candy

These are great memory photos, as I now own a pair of cool white vintage skates in which I need to display and these photos just jogged my brain into action. Way to go girl!
Love your style!
