I have a antique secretary that is a family piece of furniture. I had a few things displayed on it but it was sorta boring. So I decided to tweak it with a table top rearrangement.
I used books as a riser and placed the lamp on top. I also added a small doily with a silver box on top of it. The layering provides more interest and the books give some height to the lamp.
I also recently scored this great framed cottage art print from a relative who didn't want it. This sets the cottage mood for the whole room. It is a large print maybe three feet square and it is a definite focal point.
I usually don't think of looking for seashells at the thrift store but, I found this bag of large shells at a local thrift store. They were only $4. They look really good in my remodeled cutlery tray on the dining room table. You can see how I took this Pfaltzgraff tray and remodeled it here.
