How To Decorate The Top Of China Cabinets

I started a little "project"on acme of my Dining Room China Cabinet right later we moved into this business firm last November. We take really high ceilings hither, and I love them, only sometimes the furniture looks lost. Believe me, these pieces are huge (this one is well-nigh 7 1/2 feet alpine) only there is still a large distance between the ceiling and the top of this cabinet. So now 3/4 of a twelvemonth later, I finally have some kind of decor up in that location to assist fill in this space.

As most things practise now, it takes my hubby'due south assistance on a stepladder to get things accomplished. I've been unpacking in stages, and up until a few weeks ago, I had most of my "misc. decor" in big boxes in storage. Just I got serious over the weekend as I was really tired of seeing this space neglected and "off balance". The cabinet doesn't have a flat surface on meridian, and then that makes information technology all the harder to come up with a program and so have the elements not be wobbly and kleptomaniacal.

Here are some ideas on how to Fashion a Chiffonier Top:

1. Go on objects similar in decor manner and theme

(i.e. Country French, Farmhouse, Traditional, Cottage)

2. Stay with larger proportioned elements that are easily seen

3. Find a variety of textures.

4. Endeavour to proceed a uniform color palette

five. Resist the urge to overdo information technology.(hard one)

6. Remember to "residue" your items.

I was going for a natural combination of objects, color, and texture,using wood, baskets, florals, and metals. I wanted a neutral gathering of similar objects and mode, that would lend itself to a French Country wait. I kept my two woods wine crates and the lavender. Side by side, I used an sometime handbasket with handles with a mix of dried and simulated hydrangeas. Then, to add a niggling height and another texture I placed an empty fe urn in the center for some balance.

The movie below is from January. Run into what I mean? I had i of 2 lanterns and I idea that was a expert starting indicate...just cipher else worked upwards in that location and it was too heavy for me to get down. so...I had to wait until inspiration jumped on me.
