Home : Decorating With Statement Pieces

Every room in your home is worth a conversation.  What better way to get people talking than by adding one major statement piece?  {And by "major," I mean awesome.} 

A statement piece is that one unique item that the eye quickly finds once entering a room.  It's not necessarily the focal point of the room, but rather eye-catching.  If it's not part of the focal point, be sure that it doesn't distract from the focal point, but it enhances the room as a whole.  It's that bold piece that makes a statement about your personal style.

Your "piece" could be a collection of one item - like several of the mercury glass owls you see below, or an every day item doused in bright glossy paint. {I once saw an assortment of old cameras that someone had collected from thrift stores and spray painted them solid glossy colors - it was so unique to the person who made them, yet gave the space that extra something special.}  It could be a handmade piece of furniture or something you found at a boutique or an antique fair.  Or a wall fixture that draws your eye up, making the room seem larger than life.  

Statement Pieces



Statement pieces are great cause they could be that finishing touch to a room that's been lacking luster, or it could be the jumpstart to the inspiration you've been searching for.  These special pieces are meant to tell a story, so have fun with it! 

What are your favorite statement pieces in your home?  Link up if you've blogged about them!! I'd love to see.

Giveaway Day!

Today's the big day we reveal our super cute giveaway! My friend Courtney, from Courtney's Makings makes beautiful jewelry and she's giving one of her owl necklaces away to one lucky reader (I'm so sad I can't enter this, it just wouldn't be right for me to win ;).

A little about Courtney.
I met Courtney a few years back in Nashville.  She's a spunky girl, who's love for life and all things creative just bubbles from her heart.  A happy happy newlywed (she's pretty much married to a rock star and for that I'm jealous), owner of precious pup Buddy, Zumba instructor & jewelry maker - this girl does it all!  Her style is earthy meets bohemian and she loves to incorporate vibrant colors into her chunky pendants.  A quote that inspires her is, "God doesn't always call us to great things, but to do small things with great love."  So with a cup of coffee,  a great playlist & a cozy home office, Courtney disappears to make fun jewelry to share with her friends.  Go check out her Etsy and don't forget to come back daily to enter our giveaway.  (Oh and did I mention she has a revolving door in her home??  She truly doesn't get any cooler!)
