Guest Post: Roses and Rust
Today for the Design In Five series, Sharon from Roses and Rust blog is sharing her beautiful ideas. I have been enjoying Sharon's blog, and her friendship, so much since I discovered it a few months ago. The quiet elegance in her decor choices, inspired by her beautiful surroundings in South Africa, are always pleasing to the eye. South Africa is also one of the most beautiful (and interesting) places I have ever visited, so I love hearing/seeing what is going on in that part of the world. I'm so happy to be able to share her perspective with you today!*****************************************************************************
Thank-you Barbara for asking me to participate in your "Design in Five" series. It is such a fun idea although I have to admit it was a lot more taxing than I thought it was going to be! Trying to limit myself to five items to add to a room was no easy task. I eventually resorted to using the the first five letters of the alphabet and this is what I came up with....
stands for Armoire. I toyed with art or antique, but eventually settled on armoire. I think the first thing I would add to a room would be some sort of focal point and an armoire fits this bill perfectly. As it is usually quite a large scale piece of furniture, and often quite decorative, it immediately draws the eye. It is also very practical as it can house the TV, act as a drinks cabinet, a bookcase or a display cabinet for decorative items. |

stands for Baskets and Books. (I couldn't choose between them which so I'm going with both). I love the casual feel that baskets add to a living room and they can be used for a myriad of different purposes. Holding firewood, magazines, spare cushions or blankets, sea shells, pine cones or even left empty. Lidded baskets can be used as side tables or coffee tables. Baskets can be placed underneath tables or on top of tables. They can be used as trays and holdalls. They are totally indispensable to me - I think I have them in every single room in my house. Books are also a necessity for me in most rooms. They can be purely decorative, they can add a splash of colour to a neutral interior, they can work as props for decorative items and they can provide reading entertainment for family and friends. They also give one some insight into the personalities and interests of the family that live in the home. |

is for Candlelight. There is nothing quite like the glow of candlelight. It creates a wonderful atmosphere in a room. It also creates magical pools of light and shadow. It creates beautiful effects on reflective surfaces and the scented versions give off wonderful perfumes. Candlelight glosses over all imperfections and can make the most ordinary room seem beautiful. Whether the candles are placed in an ornate and precious antique candelabra, a tarnished junk-shop find or a simple tea light in a glass jar, they are definitely a must-have item for me. |

stands for Decorative Item. These are the things that I love and like to look at. It may be a single item like a beautiful urn or statue or a collection of things that I have built up over the years. They often have more sentimental than intrinsic value. |

is for Easy Living. I'm cheating a bit here as this is not an item, as such, but it is the atmosphere that I like to aim for in my home. I think a beautiful interior has a lot more to do with soul and spirit than with furniture and objects. Guests must feel they can relax and put their feet up, dogs are welcome to sleep on the sofa, kids can play with their toys on the coffee table. Newspapers and magazines can be visible and coasters aren't essential. No stiff formality for me, thank-you.

You did a beautiful job Sharon! Thanks so much.
I love the creative "ABC" approach! And what a great reminder that spaces need to invite people in, not make them feel like everything is off limits. The adorable lab reminded me of how my own pup adds so much life and love to any room she is in. This is a great representation of the elegant style that Sharon features on her blog and why I love reading it so much, so I hope you enjoyed it too. Stop over to check out her blog today if you can...I think you'll love it.
I'd love to hear what your favorites from Sharon's picks were!
