Creating a vignette on an armoire with pretty touches….

I am happy to be back here visiting again to share a little project I have been working on, creating a pretty vignette on an armoire!
My sister in law let me come and cut the last of her gorgeous hydrangeas. Aren’t they just beautiful!? I look forward to her beautiful hydrangeas every year. I love how, once dried, they still look so lively and beautiful. They were practically already dried out on the bush, so all I did was cut them and let them sit out for a couple days.
I decided to make a little arrangement for my Ella’s room. We recently bought an antique pine armoire for her room and I thought the flowers would add such a pretty, feminine touch to the top of it.
First, I grabbed each stem, pulled the leaves off and cut the stems down a bit.
I layered them into this sweet little cream vintage basket I had on hand, making sure to vary color and size.
I had plenty of hydrangeas, so I made sure my arrangement was nice and full.
Here is what the armoire looked before:
And here is what it looks like now…
I love the gorgeous raw pine wood!!
I placed the hydrangea arrangement on top of a pretty vintage suitcase that I found at a local antique store.
I stole this ADORABLE little rocking horse from my mom. Once I saw it in the pile to sell at her yard sale, I knew it was coming home with me! Don’t worry, I paid her in Ella kisses.
I hung a dress I made for Ella on one of the cabinet knobs. I made it for her while she was still in my tummy out of a linen type fabric and a vintage doily.
 I am still not sure why the knobs are uneven. Funny old piece.
I put the pillow that I shared {here} in the little rocking horse to soften him up.
Now I just need to find the perfect linens for her iron bed… or the fabric to make them! I am not having any luck… so cross your fingers for me!

What a beautiful vignette. I think hydrangea blooms just can’t be topped for prettiness.
Very nice! I love the hydrangeas and the pine amoire.
I have been finding Rachel Ashwell’s shabby chic pieces at Goodwill and have added a few pieces from Target to pull it all together for our spare twin bed. I like that I can add vintage pillows or pillow cases and have it all still “match”.
I love good finds like that!
Such pretty pictures. I didn’t know that hydrangeas looked so colorful once dried. Thanks for sharing!
I know,it makes me want to plant some. They are gorgeous!
oh wow! soooo pretty! what about a chenille bedspread? we found some for our girls just searching online…they are old fashioned and cute and later you can use it for other beds..:)
They are pretty! I bet they look pretty in your girls room!
So pretty 🙂 love the simple feel.
