A box arrived with something for a photo shoot the other day…
and it wasn’t something I ordered.
Or even had any idea about just what it was that was inside that box.
It was a surprise.
It was a surprise.
Things that make you go hmmm…. right?
The job was to style and photograph something
without knowing what it was
where it would go
how you would use it
what it could be used for
or even if it was something that you would ever think
to bring home and style in your space.
What?
Kind of crazy right?
I know, but you know, I like an unusual challenge sometime
and so… I said why not.
So when a big box arrived
I excitedly opened it up to see what this top secret
treasure might be
Any ideas what it was?
If you guessed that big pale blue glass demijohn-
you are correct.
It was definitely a surprise piece when I opened the box but I did love the pale color
of the glass and after staring at it for a few minutes
I knew just where it would go and what would go inside of it.
Cue those gorgeous white blossom covered branches
from one of our trees outside.
I would normally use a pitcher or box or box or something along those lines but I have actually been looking for something different to place those blooming beauties in
and a few minutes later,
that big demijohn was looking quite at home holding them
out on the patio.
Of course, you could place this piece almost anywhere
and even display it doing nothing but sitting there.
But for now, it is working perfectly where it is.
I am joining Dear Lillie and Decor Steals today to share some ideas
for using a piece like this
and Dear Lillie used it beautifully!
I think we are a perfect pairing for this because we obviously think alike!
