My Favorite Things. . .Vol. I

My Favorite Things. . .
is the chosen title of a new post On Crooked Creektt.

I hope to feature a few of My Favorite Things throughout 2015!

The idea comes from my years of merchandising.
One of my various job descriptions and duties 
was to artfully display home decor in 'pleasing~to~the~eye' vignettes.

To tell your story, one must set the stage.

Several of my closest friends have commented,
that watching me stage or style a display
is liken to that of a conductor directing an orchestra.

I began with a grouping of like objects.
Varying height, hues and texture keeps a cohesive appeal.

I adore harmonious blending of treasured heirlooms
with timeless classic finds, as seen above with the coffee urn
and the vintage ironstone oval serving platter.

Many decorators will tell you to leave open spaces 
giving the eyes a place to rest. 

While I'm trying to accomplish more 'resting places'
within On Crooked Creektt's design, 
my thoughts here are to disguise the background for a monochromatic style.

Embracing my Traditional Roots
and combining my Southern influenced upbringing,
my overall goal of each component in my home design is that of hospitality.

In 2015,
my hope for each of you is that you
*embrace change
*find joy
*pursue your passions.


Thank you for allowing me to share 
a few of My Favorite Things!
