Tweaking my fantle

One thing that never feels quite right to me is creating vignettes. I am simply not good at it. Maybe it’s because my depth perception is terrible, maybe I need some lessons.
I took some of my favourite things that were scattered all over and put them together. I tried to keep them all in the same colour range; black, silver, grey and white.
I like it better.

    NICE! It looks like a very expensive vase now! And for the record, I think your vignette looks great, you Canadian fantle tweaker.

    You did it again! Fabulous job! You really spray painted that! You would never know, it looks like it has always been that way. It looks so warm and inviting. Can I come over for a glass of wine or a cup of coffee?

    Love the color scheme! I saved a bunch of branches that fell off some of our trees this fall and know I know what I'm going to do with them :) Silver spray paint here I come!
