New Weekly Blog Series: Coffee Table Tuesdays

Hi loves! One of my favourite things about blogging is connecting with some pretty fabulous people. I used to run a weekly blogging series called 'Favourite Furniture Fridays' where I invited these cool peeps to join me and share their favourite piece of furniture that they own. It was so much fun! You can look back on all of those posts here if you missed them.

It's been awhile since FFF, and I'm missing the it, so I've decided to start a new series here on TLID called 'Coffee Table Tuesdays'. My coffee table is probably my favourite thing to style, and it is constantly being rearranged. I will start the ball rolling this week, but next week, I have our very first guest poster lined up and you won't want to miss her!

 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12

If you would like the full tutorial on how I made over my coffee table, you can check it out here.

I hope you are all as excited about this series as I am!

My Bachelorette Pad: Christmas Decor via Instagram

Last year, I didn't decorate my apartment at all for the holidays, but this year, I've been creating pretty little Christmas vignettes all over my bachelorette pad. The more glitter the better!

^Ornaments in a bell jar. So simple, but so pretty!

^ I've always been a fan of tinsel Christmas trees. Some people call them tacky, but my love of vintage and sparkle just can't be contained. I've seen a few in antique shops displaying vintage ornaments, but finally found a mini one of my own at the local dollar store! 

Big thanks to M. for making me decorate this year (and delivering my tree, which I hope to post about soon!). It's finally feeling like home here thanks to you!

To see even more of the holiday festivities going on around here (and to keep up with me while I'm busy with finals...sorry I've been MIA lately!), be sure to check out my instagram!
I hope your holidays have been merry and bright so far!

Inside the Bell Jar: Cloches

 

I've always liked bell jars, or cloches. I think they can elevate a simple item that might otherwise be overlooked into something worthy of showcasing, like this shell that I put under a cloche on my coffee table. I found the darling little cloche at a local antique shop and couldn't resist its charm.

  I love the way that the pink hues in the shell play upon the pinks in my coffee table books, and that the bell jar gives my vignette a little bit of height.

One of my newest coffee table books is Nate Berkus's 'The Things that Matter'. And what is featured in Nate's place? Why a bell jar of course:

I'll be reviewing his book and some other coffee table books later this month. This image demonstrates how perfectly bell jars fit with any decor. My space is so feminine and cheery, whereas Nate's is more masculine and moody. 

You guys might remember from this post that my love for library ladders was inspired by Beauty and the Beast... Could this be where my crush on cloches began as well?
