Vignette Party!

vi·gnette \vin-ˈyet, vēn-\: a small decorative design or picture so (just perfectly) placed. Don't you just love 'em? I love the whole idea of being able to decorate little pieces and places throughout the home to create a scene, to set the mood. I could spend hours in my home creating these little spaces!


There is a fine line however with these vignettes becoming kitschy and I think the key to keeping them classy is to not clutter the space with lots of little pieces like this:
