Items destined for the garage sale find new purpose

I was invited to a friend's house for a mantle and bookcase makeover. She has a beautiful home and a charming family.

Here is the "before" photo:

The items on the mantle are nice, but they are small in scale and all about the same height. Below is the bookcase.

Now take a look at the mantle and bookcase after the redesign:
Notice the silver pot with greenery. I took some greenery from another arrangement in the house, placed a plastic cup in the pot and voila, instant success!



Color, texture and height all play a part to create an interesting arrangement on the mantle and bookcase.
Here is what the homeowner said: "The room I thought was okay, however you were able to take it up a “notch” that I would have never been able to achieve on my own! I was amazed how you gave “new life” to items that were going to soon make it into our next garage sale."
