Today I want to talk to you about 'layering'. I am a big layerer (is that a word?). Layering is part of my eclectic decorating. I just love the cozy look it gives our home. I layer lots of things. How about you?
Pillows and vintage blankets are some of my favorite things to layer. Even the books here are layered. Instead of just placing them on the bench, I layered them in a great ironstone bowl topped with a pretty lavender sachet.
I redid this settee a while back. I am always changing up the pillows on it to give it a fresh look.
See all of the layers I added to this settee.Fabrics, burlap, vintage laces, tulle............LOVE IT!
Different textures create the look I like.

Yes I too am a layerer. Sometimes while decorating, a little more is more interesting. I guess this is how many of my collections are born. New pieces join the family and just layer themselves in. Your sofas look so adorable I could just dive right into those pretty pillows.

your style reminds me so much of a friend of mine that layered her small cottage with all kinds of shabby finds. i love the layered look....it becomes art really. i layer, but not like i used to with 2 kids at home and a husband that doesn't want to take 8 pillows off the couch to sit down..lol. between the kids throwing the pillows everywhere and my husband complaining, i'm down to only 1 pillow on a chair, one pillow on a loveseat and 2 pillows on the couch. i'm coming to your house to enjoy those pillows!!!!
ReplyDeletei do still layer blankets and throws on the living room furniture. it looks pretty and keeps the couches clean!!! i also layer stuff on the walls. i think it really makes a statement.
i LOOOOOOVE your little seating area with all the burlap pillows, the spider plant and pretty stained window...oh my gosh...it is gorgeous.
oh...i am a sucker for decorating books...i stack them all over the place too. why not? mary randolph carter is the best....i love her book series and think she really started the junk movement for sure.
thanks for sharing. your house tour pictures are my favorite!!! you could write a book and i'd look at it everyday for inspiration. happy day debra....
take care

Oh wow, your pics are delightful. I love everything you do and wish I could transport it all into my home, except my abode is so tiny it would be like trying to fit broad beans into a petit pois pod! M x
