Mixing it Up - Mod and Vintage, Slick and Shabby

As you walk in my front door and enter my living room, a primitive cabinet sits to the left of the doorway into the dining room. 

This is one of my favorite areas to tweak seasonally. I can switch it up in practically no time.

My latest "thing" is to mix some "mod" shapes into my already eclectic industrial/elegant/cottage living room. Maybe, it's just for the summer, or maybe not.

Some of the items I have here are staying, since they fit the theme: the French frame, the modern art piece, the faux mercury glass lamp with a mod shade. 

This topiary has moved here, sitting on a stack of vintage books in shades of white. New additions include three vases in mod shapes. Two are shiny silver, and one is matte white. I like the way the silvery vases work with the lamp. 

All the vases are from thrift stores, as is every single item (except the Walmart lamp shade) on in this vignette. Even the art piece is made from cast-off items.

The primitive chest has recently undergone an evolution. I think it's finally arrived where it needs to be. I'll post more about that later this week.

Word for the Day:
Haggai 2:8

The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts.
