Today I am cultivating a sense of gratitude by rearranging some of my favorite found (and gifted) objects into a new vignette on my bookshelf. My process for creating this design was to approach the wall/shelf like a painting where I combine textures and shapes to create a pleasing composition.

It feels so good to wipe the slate clean and start fresh using objects I already have on hand, but maybe weren’t fully “seen” in their last locations.

See description below of what I sourced from home to create this design. Comment below if you’re also finding inspiration at home during this COVID-19 quarrantine. I’d love to hear what you’re doing to stay inspired.
