This year I am moving things around, trying to do more with what I already have. I created this tablescape for my outdoor coffee table and thought I would share how it developed.
I have had the marble tray for years and have never managed to style it up quite how it looked in the store. This vignette is working much better than the tray on its own, and it was quick and inexpensive to achieve. I already had the small glass vase and marble flower plate, I only added a larger size glass vase (a steal at $16) and bought the succulent at a street market. You can see below how it started out and how I built it up.
Two vases, one taller and wider (both from my favourite variety store), and the gorgeous succulent to add colour and texture. The flower plate has been in my bathroom with a candle on it, but is far prettier here.
It's still evolving, I think the candle is to pale, perhaps another succulent? But overall I am really enjoying the effect. Especially like that the succulent will be happy in the winter sunlight and won't need to be replaced for months.
So pleased that I moved all these things around and tried something new. Turns out that a change was all that tray needed to go from flat to fantastic.
