Accessories for the Home: designstILes

I have asked a few of my favorite bloggers to fill-in for me while I am in the midst

of moving stateside. Today, I am so honored that Irene from designstILes is here with us. 

Her blog is full of inspirational images and she is one of the best at making 

tablescapes look beyond amazing.

Hi Pretty readers, it's Irene from designstILes filling in for Sara while she's settling into her new home.

I actually had the opportunity to meet Sara on a recent trip to Peru. 

Glad I caught her while she was still there.

Hope my five must-have home accessories will inspire her to bring these into her home. 

I'm sure a good amount of us already own most of these.

I've long liked most things brass, but recently brass figurines are too cute to pass up. They bring in a vintage feel full of personality.

Elephant and deer can be found here and here.

I love having fresh flowers in the house. Usually I just pick some wild ones from our yard, but if money permits, treat yourself to a more elaborate bouquet. And it's always nice to splurge on nicer flowers when guests come visit. Let's them know you care.

Decorative boxes are pretty and double as a place to hide obnoxious things like remote controls and other junk not nice enough to display.

I keep a candle in every room in our house. Also a nice gesture for when guests come visit. It's nice to hear your house smells good when they walk through the door.

Coffee table books showcase your interests and serve as a great source of inspiration.

And there you have it, my five must have accessories.

How many of these do you have?

Thanks so much for having me, Sara!
