The pictures are going to transport you to another universe where everything is gorgeous!  So please…do yourself a favor and experience this wonderland of beauty!

This spectacular piece reminds us to display our vintage finds…all of those gems from the Flea Market and Good Will…even if they are a bit crazed and not so perfect…when you blend them together with love…they create such incredible eye candy.  Take a look at this hutch and you will get tons of inspiration.  Say you have a collection of colored glass jars…group them together and they become a much more powerful decor accessory.  You can use that rule of thumb with so many things.

This hutch is orchestrated perfectly…you can do it with your prized possessions…I know you can.

If you are lucky enough to have some fabulous vintage suitcase beauties…consider yourself fortunate!  If you happen to find them at a Flea Market…a Garage Sale…Good Will or anywhere…snatch them up immediately!  They have so much to offer in world of Cottage Vintage decorating! If it is charm you want…charm you will get.  Not only do they look wonderful…they are fantastic and stylish storage.  So if you have a small corner some place in your home and you don’t know how to jazz it up a bit…give it a decor facelift with some sensational vintage suitcases…stack them up and put what you don’t use that much in the bottom one : )

You can add to their personality with some additional accessories or maybe a plant…the choice is yours…but it sure is an easy way to spruce things up in a small amount of time!

You can never go wrong with a steamer trunk…it’s like a little black dress…it fits in anywhere.  Here it is a perfect coffee table…maybe you would like to add legs to yours and it will instantly become a table for two.  How cute would that look in a kitchenette and think of the kitchen storage space you would have.  There are a 1000 and 1 uses for these terrific trunks…just let your imagination fly!

added something else to this beauty that looks simply amazing…a simple vintage pitcher filled with flowers…that is what I call and instant decorating facelift…what room or space does not look refreshed with you add a pitcher of flowers?

This vignette of vintage finds is so very charming…it just puts you in such a serene and reflective mood.  If you noticed…it is a great blend of mix and match.  Every piece is different in age and style.  Mixing an art deco mirror with a chippy worn vintage table topped with a variety of vintage bottles…even a vintage seltzer bottle works fabulously.  Then some old primitive benches and a galvanized steel basketcomplete the space.  This would make a great still life for an artist to paint…LOVE IT!

Now I saved what I think is the best for last!  Talk about simple to put together! Then…think of all the possibilities.  This knitted handbag filled with wildflowers is a mini masterpiece.  It will look fabulous wherever it hangs.

I am sure you can think of other ways to fill it…styling it to fit your style…your decor…your color palette!  How adorable would this look in a little girls room…a sweet little purse with baby’s breath and tiny pink roses.  Such a simple accessory to create that will give any space a little lift!
