Quirky, Layered, and Red







Great old house, beautifully restored, and 0h-so-personal. I'm a sucker for natural, organic decorative elements and this place is positively overflowing. Gnarly branches, turtle shells, coral, petrified wood, and antlers...I'm loving all the quirky objects layered just so.

If you're looking for some character-full pieces to add that special touch to your home, we have some wonderful natural decorative accessories currently gracing the MINTY shelves. A turtle shell, a trio of bookend pairings in petrified wood, green marble, and gorgeous agate, and a handful of coral. Let me know if you've been on the prowl for a natural curiosity.

Have a wonderful week, friends!

This is making me fall back in love with the red and black heriz in my living room! Also, loved the sources you shared with Kathy for her mantel area. The grilles are such a great idea for the cabinet doors! M.
