Areas Of Interest

Posted by Joy

As a continuation of the simple objects post from Monday, here are a few examples of how simple objects can be used to create "areas of interest" or small vignettes in any space. I love the look of clustered objects on a windowsill, door ledge, or coffee table. They're like mini-installations that can change or evolve with your mood.

Floral designer Sarah Ryhanen of Saipua loves to incorporate small bits of nature (a single stem of a flower, a big cutting of  a bush or tree from outside, seed pods, plants, etc.) in her shop and in her own apartment. Sarah feels there's always something interesting about elements from nature brought indoors and placed in a context. She has also started leaving her jewelry around the house to add an element of uniqueness and beauty to her clutter.

Artist and illustrator Jill Bliss's home is filled with these tiny vignettes created on her windowsill and door ledge using old miniature toys.

Lisa is truly an amazing artist. She creates the most wonderful, whimsical, sophistocated designs.
