What is your strategy when it comes to the top of your tall china cabinet, shelf or bookcase? Do you regard it as a place to stash away your most unsightly possessions, or do you take advantage of this space to display your finest vase collection? The images below definitely represent the latter possibility:

*

Interior Designer Eddie Ross decorated the top of this china cabinet with beautiful vintage (-looking?) crystal cake stands. The visually light glassware makes a fantastic contrast to the heavy furniture. Almost like it is topped off with a warm breeze!

*

This home office was decorated by Anna Orfanides of Anna O Design. Just like Eddie, Anna vent for transparent glassware, but this time representing all sorts of peculiar shapes. I see at least one vacuum filtration flask and a separation flask. Let’s conclude that this is the office of a chemist.

*

Interior Designer Olga Adler decorated the top of this cabinet too. I love how she used three large objects. Simple, uncluttered and definitely stylish.

*

No one says you can’t bring in a bit (or a lot) of color. Color groupings like this catch your eye right away. Unless you are color blind.

*

Black & Spiro owner Anna Spiro decorated this tall cabinet to display a collection of beautiful blue and white ming-style vases.

*

Definitely cute!

So I’m dying to know what you guys think about Pottery Barn’s latest endeavor, the peace sign Christmas tree ornament:

*

Sparkly and all. This is what it looks like on the tree:

*

It even serves as a crowning star. Here is the more colorful version:

While I do like the symbolism of decorating with peace (signs), it just reminds me too much of the Mercedes symbol:

*

Glittery peace signs are a super simple DIY ornament idea, but tell me, what do you think?

Interior Designer Sara Story shows you a new way to set color to your home. Leave the walls white while you paint the ceiling and floor!

*

A long narrow room like this kitchen is perfect for some ceiling color. But the deep purple ceiling aside, check out the gorgeous painted pattern on the hardwood floors!

*

(nice lamp!)

*

This long and narrow hallway has a yellow painted ceiling. Check out the dot pattern outlining the gray walls!

*

Another hallway. That bold patterned wallpaper is hot!

I was wondering what you guys think of this little installation; it’s the famous sunburst mirror, mounted on a… mirror. One of the cool effects here is the double amount of little mirrors, making a really explosive ‘burst’..

When I came across this green glass bottle chandelier, I just had to ask what you think of it?! Undoubtedly the idea is fun, I guess you can DIY it, and it might give off a cozy light? For a vineyard themed home maybe? Please leave your vote!

A room with a TV, fireplace and chandelier is usually a living room, right? If you throw a bathtub into the equation, then what do you have? I’ll let you decide this one:

*

*

This is a pretty easy do-it-yourself headboard idea. So I would love to hear what you guys think about this one… is it hot or not?

Multiple rice paper orb lamps over dining table:

I think it’s a cute idea!

I think this living room is super nice!

I would love to know if I am the only one, so lets poll it!
