Unexpected Accents

My number one decorating rule? Fuck the rules. For whatever reason, I always thought I could only place decorative items on top of a stack of books if they were stacked horizontally until I saw someone place a decorative item on top of a vertical stack of books somewhere online. Game changer!

I placed this ruby red glass vase on top of a vertical book stack and added height and visual interest to my mantle display and absolutely love it. Break the rules!
