Playing in the Hall


Hi, everyone!  I was 'playing around' with this shelving unit in our front hallway, and I thought I'd share what I came up with. (You can see the before look here.)


I now realize that my cow is a little off center...I'll have to fix that! :)


I recently found this 'Hams and Bacon' bin on the bottom shelf at an antique mall and I thought it was quirky and cool...just my thing!


I'm always redoing this vignette so I'm sure it won't stay this way for long, but I like the look for now!


Thanks for stopping by!  Stay tuned...I have some exciting news coming up!!  :)

    What a lovely display you've created and the hams and bacon bin is such a fabulous find. Love the cow picture! Hmmmm...is the cow wondering if she is "next" as she looks down on the hams and bacon? :)

    I'm with Mary Alice...I love the iron candelabra. And I kind of like the cow picture being off center (not that I noticed first). Looks lovely.

    XOXO,

    The wooden box just seems like it is in place on the shelving unit. The ham and bacon bin adds to the rustic charm of the area. I believe that the cow is pondering its future, or maybe it is being thankful that it is not a pig, while looking at the ham and bacon bin.
