I think creating arrangements or groupings of decorative objects give a subconscious depth to a room and serve as a backdrop for the larger, more obvious pieces. I enjoy placing everything into strategic groupings and rearranging them until I think it's 'right'. Although my skills aren't as honed as the professionals, I certainly try to replicate what the pros do!
It's been so incredibly windy in southern Alberta over the last couple of weeks....
I hope we don't blow away before Halloween!
