Decorating with Crystal and Stones

Every room needs some natural elements. Typically this includes a living plant and some fresh flowers. Due to my black thumb, however, (remember my fern?...it didn't work out), I look for other ways to incorporate nature into my apartment. One way that I do that is through stones and crystals, which are sculptural, textural, beautiful, and add that much needed natural touch. 

Here are the current pieces that I have in my space:

If you'd like to find some crystal for yourself, I recommend keeping an eye out at antique stores and flea markets, where they always have a good gem or two! The bookends are from Home Sense!

Of Quartz

Ever since spotting these Quartz bookends in Design Darling's boutique, I've been a little gemstone crazy. I wanted a pair of quartz bookends to call my very own! Unfortunately, with shipping and additional charges to Canada, these beautiful pink ones were getting to be a bit out of my price range.

 I also love the look of agate bookends:

So sparkly and pretty, mother nature really is amazing isn't it?

I was resigned to merely admiring pictures like these when I stumbled across an amazing find at Homesense on the weekend:

These gorgeous, turquoise agate book ends were a steal at $16.99 each, I just had to get them. Now I've got to find a place to put them!Do you like the turquoise? I was debating between a few colours available.
