Step 1: Ideas 1 & 2: for a Porch

1. Make the most of your porch, front or back, by using a garden bench in front of a window for indoor seating.

2. Add texture, color and life on the window sill behind the bench by lining up several (odd numbers are better) outdoor flowering plants.

If your window sill doesn't have enough room, attach a narrow board (think 1X6 or 1X8) to the wall. Find the wall studs using a stud finder and mark their location on the wall. Transfer the marks to your narrow board and attach L-brackets to the board on the marks. Screw the board to the wall by placing the L-brackets on the marks.

Step 2: Ideas 3 & 4: for a Porch

Don't forget to dress your windows. Look around your home (don't forget the garage and shed) for curtain finials.Check out your yard and/or ask friends and family for grapevine or honeysuckle vine to add movement and visual interest to your windows.

3. Repeat the garden theme by using faucet wall hooks as curtain 'finials'. Another finial option might be to attach a garden spray nozzle to the ends of your rod.

Give yourself bonus points if the spray nozzles don't match!

4. Add texture, color and movement to your windows using natural grapevine to embellish unlined burlap tab-top curtain panels.

Step 3: Idea 5: for a Porch

5. Wire tree branches to existing curtain rods to create natural 'valances'.

Step 4: Idea 6: for a Porch

6. Slip a candle (regular or battery-operated) into a clear vase, and then into a planter, to use as a lantern.

When using a regular candle , please practice safety first by making sure to use the candle in a vase. Never leave a room with a candle burning.

Use multiple planters to add more color, texture and candlelight

Incorporating multiple quantities (odd numbers are best) of the same item is a super-simple way to pack a lot of decorative punch in your decor. If the idea presented here is too much work for your lifestyle, use multiples of whatever you have handy -- lanterns, pails, crates -- it's up to you.

Use what you have and add your own creative touch - you'll be amazed at how fabulous your room will look!

Step 5: Idea 7: for a Porch

7. Cut branches from shrubbery in your yard to add drama, height and texture to a centerpiece.

Keep expenses down by turning to your own yard for natural decorative accents:

Curly willow, red or yellow-twig dogwood, forsythia and pussywillow are all great branch options.

Collect pine cones throughout the year as they fall from the trees. Transform them with a coat of spray paint for an entirely new look: glossy white, shiny metallics, even hot pink, turquoise or lime green!

If you're tired of branches in their natural color, spray them with a new color - it is amazing the difference a coat of paint makes!

Experiment with leafy branches in the fall by dusting the tips of the leaves with a hint of copper or gold spray paint.

To add more color, texture and visual interest to your centerpiece:

Step 7: Idea 9: for a Porch

Place the tiny trellis in a moss-filled mug, topped with an embellished rock.

10. Continue the garden theme at each place setting by layering landscape rocks in the bottom of a bowl vase. Nestle a decorative frog vase on the rocks. Add a fresh bloom to the frog vase, then set completed bowl vase on a circular mat cut from sheet moss.

Step 10: Ideas 12 & 13: for a Porch

12. Use a vintage potting bench to hold lanterns repurposed as terrariums.

13. Bring in a tabletop fountain to add the soothing sound of water to the (almost) al fresco dining area.

Notice how most of the room is neutral and the space is brightened by pops of green throughout. The green color is repeated around the area through use of various textures, materials, finishes and glazes, all which work together to create a harmonious whole.

Close-Up of Lantern Terrariums

The lanterns used here are two different sizes, making it easy to create a visual dynamic. If you have a pair of identical lanterns that you want to use in a similar way, a simple trick is to use a box or book to raise one lantern higher than the other, thereby creating interest between the two.

Use some similar elements in each, as the pebbles and rocks are used above, to tie them together. The idea is to create harmony, not mirror images.

Close-Up of Water Feature

There's nothing more soothing than the sound of water, so consider bringing in a water element, if conditions permit.

Once again, the table fountain's green and neutral color scheme has been repeated to blend seamlessly with the rest of the room.

Step 11: Idea 14: for a Foyer

14. Layer a Venetian-glass mirror over a salvaged piece of grillwork. Add a small mirrored cabinet below the grillwork. Take advantage of the reflective surfaces by placing a fresh or faux floral arrangement on a cabinet, which is set in front of the mirror.

Close-Up of Floral Arrangement

The juxtaposition of the elegant Venetian glass mirror, mirrored cabinet and graceful glass footed vase and the utilitarian metal gridwork and galvanized filler vase makes the fresh arrangement of tulps and pussy willow seem natural and spontaneous.

Start thinking of ways to use your glam and gritty accessories together - it's a huge trend seen everywhere in the furniture and home decor arenas.

Step 12: Idea 15: for a Dining Room

15. Hang colorful ceramic planters filled with ivy or other fresh greenery on your buffet or wall.

Close-Up of Ivy-Filled Ceramic Planters

Notice the existing mirror on the built-in buffet. By adding in another mirror, adding multiples of yellow, ivy-filled planters and using white ceramics in different heights, shapes, sizes, and areas, the vignette is brought together seamlessly.

Step 13: Idea 16: for a Dining Room

16. Layer a salvaged, spray-painted iron panel atop vintage wallpaper as wall art

Close-Up of Vignette

Once again, layering colors, textures, shapes and materials combine to create a stunning vignette.

Taken separately, nothing is very expensive, but when added together, the whole is far more than the sum of the parts.

The beauty of the whole is in its color scheme and grand scale, which is in keeping with the wall, the room and the whole home.

More Ideas for a Dining Room

Make a sideboard by adding feet to a pair of salvaged balusters and topping the balusters with salvaged planks or a reclaimed tabletop

Step 14: Idea 17: for a Dining Room

17. Make a statement by creating a pair of large-scale floral displays in outdoor urns, then elevating them on outdoor wire stools.

Make Use of an Unheated Radiator Top as a 'Console Table'

The 'console' will act as a bridge for the floral urns; decorative items will repeat the room's color scheme, add texture, and the varying heights will create movement. Remember to bring in a living element with a terrarium.

The use of texture in a mostly neutral color scheme is what will elevate your decor above the norm.

Step 15: Idea 18: for a Kitchen

18. Use an outdoor bistro table and chairs as a breakfast set.

Close-Up of Tablescape

22. Repeat the mesh panels by using painted and unpainted versions to serve as a decorative backdrop for hanging garden votive lights, displaying kitchen utensils, and small artwork.

Close-Up of Inset Wall

I am constantly astounded at how different the same thing looks in different colors. Case in point: the mesh screen looks totally different in glossy white and in its natural metal state.

By layering one over the other, depth and contrast are maximized and everything placed over the two screens are more vibrant and visible.

Step 20: Idea 23: for a Kitchen

23. Tie in the color scheme and repeat decorative elements in an open or glass-fronted cabinet.

If at all possible, include greenery to add freshness and life.

24. Use moulding to frame spray-painted mesh screens; layer mirrors and various flowers as wall art.

Step 22: Idea 25: for a Powder Bath

More Ideas for a Living Room

Illuminate artwork and the room with a pair of lamps, which echo the color scheme. Add fretwork-patterned shades to reinforce the garden theme. (Note: Be sure the lamps are not beyond the gridwork; they will appear 'disconnected' to the vignette if they are too far out)
Repeat the room's color scheme with decorative accessories, including lanterns as terrariums, white and yellow vases, green and flowering plants and weathered-wood picture frames
Add movement to the vignette by varying the heights of the accessories. Step back often while putting together the display to ensure balance and scale

The white tile is nothing more than a 4"X4" tile with a cutout for a decorative insert. These can be found at tile stores and home improvement centers.

Genius!

Close-Up of the Picket-Fence Curtain Rod
