Armoire Vignette

We have a little nook in the family room that is meant for built-ins.  We have big plans to build a cabinet this summer.  In the meantime our old pine armoire that we have had  for years holds our TV and stuff.  I bought a set of for cane back french style chairs off of Craigslist last year.  Two flank each side of the armoire. 

I have played around with styling the top, but just haven't been happy with anything.  I saw a room on Rate My Space that gave me inspiration.  So off to Michael's I went.  I found three moss covered balls to use, but nothing to set them on.  Target had some cream colored ceramic candlesticks that I liked.  Jackpot!  I had a plan.

And I loved it!  I wanted a simple but bold statement in the space.

I added a pillow for the back of the chair and used the Imperial Dragonfly fabric for lumbar pillows to add a pop of color to them.

This basket was purchased at a local hospice thrift store for $3!  It holds my ever growing collection of Southern Living and Traditional Home.  Can you see the little dings and blemishes on the armoire?  It is pretty beat up from the kids rolling toys into it over the years.  I love every mark!

I hope you enjoyed a peek inside my family room.  It is constantly evolving with my family.  We have big plans that I can't wait to see fall into place.

I am linking up with Marty for Tabletop Tuesday's!  I hope this qualifies??  Go check out the amazing talents found around blogland.
