Hello everyone!
My secretary is a fun piece of furniture to redecorate. I don't have shelving units anywhere else in my house, so every now and then, I like to tweak the shelves in my secretary.
I gave it a summer look by changing just a few things.
I changed the pillows in my slipcovered chairs by using this sweet floral pattern.
I leaned a floral canvas on top and filled the shelves with old books turned backwards to reveal the old pages.
Old blue bottles and mason jars add a pop of color along with some faux purple lilacs.
It's light and summery but most of all sweet and simple.
Do you have a favorite item that you like to change up displays in too?
Thanks for stopping by.

That looks so good and I love the pillows, too.
Very pretty Kelly! The trophy, the bottles and books look great! I have many shelves! I'm always tweeking. Maybe I'm a shelfaholic... I need to look into that :-)
So pretty. I love the secretary, it is such a lovely piece.
The blue bottles are so pretty and I think the floral pillows are perfect or summer!
Your secretary looks so pretty with your new arrangement. Love the blues of the bottles!

That's what I like about my kitchen cabinet. I can move things around on top like I would a mantle. It's fun. Mr. H never knows what to expect. I think he's quit paying attention. It drives my kids crazy.
I love the fresh summer look of the secretary…the blue bottles and mason jar really compliment your pillows…so pretty!
Very pretty! I love how you turned the books...that really shows their age. I love that blue floral pillow, too!
Thanks for your visit. Yes...lake time is June, July and August! :)

Really pretty!
I always love your secretary and your adorable jars.
So pretty Kelly. I love the pillows and love the blue pops of color with the jars. So sweet and you definitely caught the feel of summer in your vignette.

Looks great, Kelly! I love the secretary. It is such a versatile piece.
What a great piece. I actually have everything you used, so I might just go and restyle a cabinet somewhere myself! I have been wanting to try turning the books backwards to show just the pages, now I think I will!

That floral canvas is stunning. Great job!

I like how you turned the books to show the pages. The floral pattern (and picture) gives it a fresh look
I love how you turned the books backwards. It really makes it interesting. I like the floral canvas too. My mom painted one very similar to that years ago. I do have a favorite piece that I like to change up displays in. It's my buffet in the kitchen. I change it up seasonally. It's probably the first thing I change up when each holiday rolls around. :)
Very pretty, Kelly! I'm loving the old books, and especially the floral canvas!
Everything is so pretty!! I love to change up things on my corner fireplace in the living room for the different seasons and holidays...and on just because I want a change days too. LOL...

So beautiful Kelly...I love the different textures and the pops of blue...beautiful job!!
Beautiful! Love it all :)
When we downsized in 1997 to a little tiny beach cottage, I gave most of the large family antiques to my sister. We had a wonderful secretary desk from Steve's family and his brother took it on "loan" stipulating that they would give it back whenever we asked. I would love to have it in our home. BUT, we still do not have the space and Steve would never allow me to paint the walnut wood.
If I had it, I would stage it just like yours!
It looks great Kelly! I play around with vignettes on my dining table often.
Always love when you showcase your secretary, Kelly - it is a beautiful piece. Have a fantastic fourth! Jane
love that piece!!!!
I love how you added the bits of color-so pretty! I love making simple changes when I get bored :)

I love the old books! They look good in any decor. And the lighter fabrics and colors are perfect for summertime. I have a baker's rack in the lanai that I change up a lot! Hugs!
Soooo pretty, Kelly! I really like the books turned backwards. Funny, I was playing around with the table in my entry hall, and used some backwards books! I've been seeing them on display in some stores. I have two secretaries...one is always kept closed, the other with glass doors could use a makeover! thanks for the inspiration!
I never thought to turn the books BACKWARDS!!! You are so clever!
Love your every 'tweek!!'
So beautiful Kelly.I love the pillows and love the blue pops of color .
