Seeing that most of us are spending an inordinate amount of time at home these days, why not utilize a moment or two to refresh the places and spaces in your decorating repertoire with little updates for a big impact.
Rearranging furniture instantly gives the room a refreshed update.
Floating a sofa and/or accent chair(s) away from the wall opens up the room, creating the impression of a larger space.
Enlist the help of your fellow able bodied stay-at-home quarantiners to get the job done and give the room an updated look.
Styling a coffee table with a sense of individual style is an easy decorating refresh to undertake.
Treasured keepsakes, fresh flowers or plant, a short stack of great reads and coffee table books, a vintage decorative box to house remotes, and a framed picture of a favorite something, somewhere or someone become coffee table conversation pieces.
The tropical storm slowly brewing in the gulf is becoming the Barry of bad tidings for the entire state of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region.
We’re no strangers to storm watching, and we know all too well the warnings and preparations that go with the territory must be heeded.
My initial intention for this blog post was to show you all the treasures I recently found shopping my favorite antiques and gift shop, but between storm watching and grocery store runs that ain’t happening.
Gulf coast themed accents remind me just how beautiful the area is and star in the summer at the coast style show currently decorating the dining room table and sideboard.
We’ll have to see what Barry brings our way, and what, if any, damage we will be left to repair.
In the meantime, we’ve got enough bottled water, non-perishable foods, batteries, and tenacity to hang in there.
Dave is already sweating over the looming loss of air conditioning. We do like our air conditioning.
I feel like the lady in the home warranty commercial. We just got the new roof less than two years ago when the tornado ripped the old one to shreds.
This isn’t our first time at the storm watching rodeo, and we can hang on Louisiana strong for the entire eight minutes, hours, days- you get the idea.
While working on content for an upcoming post, I found it necessary to head over to the bookmark manager. Information overload is the driver of my “where did I see that” moments.
Immediately I remembered the wooden crown sculpture and bed crown home decor pieces prominently featured in several of the images in the article.
Bookmarked under inspiration, the New Orleans home of Interior Designer and Antiques dealer Tara Shaw is an interior design and decorating love letter to the signature interiors befitting the European influence witnessed throughout the Crescent City.
Serene colors create a nuanced backdrop, one in which contemporary furnishings, unique antique pieces, and crown home decor strike a balance between elegant and livable.
Gilded (also called gilt) refers to the gold appearance or illusion achieved when covering a surface such as wood, metal, porcelain or stone with a thin layer of gold.

Gold paint or gold leaf is traditionally applied by hand resulting in an overlay effect of gorgeous gilded goodness.
Mardi Gras season is in full party and entertaining swing.
Although these crown embellished dessert plates are not actually gold or gilded, they do accomplish the style mission of serving grand and regal style.
Royal Crown Round Appetizer Plates, Set of 4
Crown ornaments in gilded tones paired with velvet ribbon is all that’s needed to create unique napkin rings.
Several Christmases back I did this with small oval framed prints, and I was quite pleased with the results.
I purchased several of these decorative crown sculptures for Mardi Gras inventory at Hopefully Classic, and I was smart enough to pull one back for myself.
It continues to be an essential part of my Christmas, Mardi Gras, and Easter decorating schemes.
The hand carved 3 piece wood candlestick set by One Allium Way as well as the Montfort 2-light wall sconce combine elements of European design style with crowned sophistication.
The purpose of home decor pieces is to enhance the spaces they furnish and adorn. Crown home decor pieces, accessories, and accents impressively accomplish just this.

Prefab to post fab customizing bookcases enhancements for that custom built-in look as promised.
Yes, decoristas, you too can build, design and style a better mousetrap (bookcase).
Customizing a bookcase with moldings, panelings, trims and embellishments takes an average, plain and otherwise boring bookcase from prefab drab to post style fab.
Crown and trim moldings easily punctuate the custom look.
Most basic prefab 5-shelf bookcases are approximately 6′ tall, but not all ceiling heights are created equal.
Decorative furniture feet will take the bookcase to new heights.

The custom look is enhanced by adding for example by updating the back of the bookcase.
Beadboard paneling or beadboard pattern wallpaper take the look from common to custom.
The art of customizing bookcases is further enhanced by adding ornamental appliques and onlays.
Ornamental appliques and onlays applied to the front, side or back panels take the ordinary to the extraordinary.
Molding Installation and Applique and Onlay Application Recap:
The bookcase has an assembled height of 71.25 inches.
Decorative molding will have to be cut as it is usually sold in 8 ft lengths.
Measure the selected area of the bookcase where the molding will be placed.
A strategically placed decorative pull(s) or door knocker on a front trim, side or back panel takes the piece to custom built-in statement piece status.
