Simple Project, Simple White Vignette, Simple Solution

You probably have one. 

You know, one of those Pinterest boards.

Simple projects you want to try.

You even have the stuff to do it... 

This is one of those projects.

I had these frames in the hoarding garage.

They're nice, chunky wood frames.

They just needed a little paint

and something to go inside them. 

I had that, too. Hardware wire.

And I had a staple gun. 

I painted the frames a nice 

off-white shade of flat latex.

It was a mis-tint sample pot.

I left some of the original paint

on each frame, and just painted 

parts I didn't care for. I left the 

trim & linen inserts as I found them.

I will use frame to hang earrings.

I love this simple solution for keeping

earrings sorted, paired and easy to

find when I get dressed!

(Now, I need a solution for scarves...)

The other frame will become part of

a vignette...maybe a Vignette to Go!

This is not a finished product,

but it illustrates a point I made earlier:

Successful vignettes contain interesting

vertical and horizontal elements.

Here's a vignette without a

vertical element...

Not bad. There's a nice primitive wooden tool box...

Some deconstructed vintage books, 

a nice chippy-vintage cream pitcher,

and a shabby mini bird house.

There's a variety of texture - 

shiny and matte, rough and smooth, etc.

Not bad.

But it still seems like there's something

missing - until you add a vertical element.

 Even without the bird house, 

it looks complete after the frame

is added behind the composition.

To really complete this vignette, 

ephemera, photos or keys could be 

attached to the wire. That would finish it off!

I'm still working on my idea...not giving up yet.

If it doesn't work, I'll have a 

pretty decent garage sale!

Plans, plans and more plans.

Decisions, culling, paring down.

Sorting, stacking, painting, etc.

I've been doing this for a year now.

I'm looking forward to finishing something!

Word for the Day:

2 Corinthians 8:10-11

10 And in this matter I give my judgment: 

this benefits you, who a year ago 

started not only to do this work 

but also to desire to do it. 

¹¹ So now finish doing it as well, 

so that your readiness in desiring it 

may be matched by your completing it 

out of what you have.
