Well my friends, when I come across a blog titled OLD WORLD GARDEN FARM  I was very curious to check it out.  (You all know I love Old World anything :-) I actually have another blog Old World Walls that mostly shows my American Clay projects.  I don't keep up with it like I do this blog.  I have NO idea how people can keep up with multiple blogs! This ONE takes me over the edge sometimes LOL! Anyway (wow, I do get sidetracked -ha!)

Hello Friends! As this post goes out I am actually on the East Coast (I live on the West Coast) helping a friend completely accessorize her home.  How fun is that? :-) Having accessorizing on my mind, I thought it would be fun to show you different accessory vignettes and inspirations.  I created a list with my friend of some BASIC home decor accessories that REALLY add a designers touch to your home.  These are actual things she ordered off Amazon that will hopefully arrive by the time I'm there :-)   First thing to do if you want to create a designer look in your own home is come up with a inspirational picture or create a mood board of a bunch of your favorite looks.  A  mood board  is a type of  collage  consisting of images, text, and samples of objects in a composition.  These were some of my friends inspirational pictures: After discussing the options together,  these are some of the things she ...
