One thing just leads to another when you try out new ideas. I'm wanting to make a basket liner or two, and before I know it there are piles of linens and baskets all over the place! But when are there not?
It all started with a changeup on the mantel piece. I wanted a bit of lace and twinkle lights to brighten things up. These are the teeny pearl lights that are strung on copper wire. (I got mine at Anthropologie.)
I like a softer look at times, and all it takes is a touch of lace. I like how the darker background shows the design.
Hampers are great for storage, of course, but I also love the look of a little liner peeking through.
A little graphic pillow adds to the look.
The top of the cupboard gets a minor change up too.
I love the natural look of wicker and always have my eye out for wicker covered demijohns. An antique picnic basket is tucked away in a corner with this one.
This tall grapevine basket hides an outlet and power cords by the chair, and even stows a few.
Baskets are the best storage for keeping linens handy, and for showing off their beautiful features when not in use.
A few chippy gardeny things round everything out.
Welcome to a new week and a new month! We're Marching right along!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I love dropping by just to look at pictures. You are fabulous with vignettes.
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure to take a look at your beautiful vintage linens , I have so pieces similar to yours, so it inspires me. The demi-johns to, I hang mine on the outdoor terrace beams. It's nice to move things around. I love the way you have placed a tall basket to hide the wires, one of my pet hates, wires everywhere, Mr France gets so annoyed with me as I keep placing something in front of any wires
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vignettes! Happy March 1st!
ReplyDeleteI lived in the wrong farmhouse growing up ---- yours is beautiful, dreamy, and romantic!! I'm going to miss Downton Abbey, also. Have a nice start to March. Sally
ReplyDeleteMy visits to your Blog never disappoint...I love your sense of style and all your vintage linens! Happy Spring!

I love your romantic farmhouse look -- and twinkling lights, all year long! Very restful and simply charming.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your posts. I love those twinkly lights with the sand stars. You have such a creative way of displaying linens and the different baskets and table surfaces. I am beyond done with winter but it doesn't seem to want to go away around here yet. It snowed pretty much all day today.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful way to welcome March! I bought some of those little copper strings of light last year. Love the soft twinkle. I'm crushing over your pretty brown transfer ware pitcher on the cupboard. '-)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly looks like you have had fun rearranging things for March. I love all the details on the vintage linens.
ReplyDeleteI am a sucker for vintage linens, and your basket collection is simply divine. They look so lovely in your gorgeous vignettes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely space...so much beauty and texture...you have some wonderful pieces and bring them together perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI just love the way you use beautiful linens in your home Jacqueline. I love the baskets and hamper you have showcased in this post, with stacks of lovely tablecloths and such in them. You create the loveliest details to every room in your home. I loved the post about the nursery/spare room. What a pretty space. Because you have several children like me, I can imagine the use the room gets. It seems someone is always here or planning to come here.

So beautiful for spring, Jacqueline! Love the look of the lace peeking out of the hamper and the folded linens in the stenciled basket. The twinkle lights and mantel lace give it all such a lovely glow. Love, love, love! xx Karen
