Styling Tutorial: Coffee table.

Making little changes to a room can have a big impact! This post is a simple coffee table styling tutorial. I was motivated today to do a lot of cleaning and rearranging.  Spring is here and I want to brighten up our home! 

Here are the elements of this easy decor combo: 

a tray, candles and candle holders, a plant and plant holder.

When it comes to decorating elements it's so important to remember differing heights! You know sometimes when you do an arrangement that you're so proud of but, then, you step back and look at it and disappointedly think, "oh...maybe not..." A lot of times this has to do with needing varying heights.  Mix up the heights!  Get candles of different heights, stack books or plates to add height.  Find items from other parts of the house.  Keep arranging until it looks right - for me, this can sometimes mean arranging and rearranging numerous times - especially with bigger projects: a big mantle display or rearranging furniture in a room.  

The tray in the pic was a house warming gift.  If you don't have a tray or two, I recommend keeping your eyes open for one (or two).  Trays are great to hold a display together, to make a centerpiece in, to use for serving at parties...  The white speckled candle holder I got many years ago at Dollar Tree (you can find candles and glass holders there good for decorating). The pillar candles are from various stores.  I always keep a good stock of pillar candles for when I change up the mantle or if I need them for a centerpiece.  Christmas Tree Shop has very reasonable pillar candles too.
