Today, for our Metamorphosis Monday...and for Mosiac Monday, which is hosted by Mary and Little Red House, I'm sharing some delicious eye-candy as well as a fabulous Fall Give-a-Way! After you finish checking out all the great "Before and Afters" posted for this Met Monday, stop by Mary's to find links to some gorgeous and creative mosiacs!
As I've shared some of the rooms in my home, you may have noticed all the decorative tassels I have hanging from lamps, knobs and various pieces of furniture. Who can resist...they are the perfect finishing touch to any decor. A tassel does for a piece of furniture or lamp, what a pillow does for a chair or a lovely painting might do for a wall. They are lovely little works of art that add the perfect finishing touch to a sideboard, china cabinet, secretary, chest, lamp or armoire. Do you have lots of pretty tassels in your home? If so, where do you like to hang them? The possibilities are really endless, aren't they?!
Angela, whose Etsy shoppe is, The Tassel House, creates amazing tassels designed to go with any room or decorating style. Here's a small sampling of the treasures you will find on a visit to The Tassel House, today. I think the seagull would look great in a beach house or any room with a nautical feel. And wouldn't the bear tassel be great for a cabin or lake home? There's even a stunning Fleur-de-lis tassel for those who crave a little French flair in their decorating.
We all seem to be looking for ways to add a little fall or winter to our rooms now that the cooler nights are here. Check out all these beautiful fall, winter and Christmas tassels that are currently available at The Tassel House...
As you can see, The Tassel House has an awesome selection. Angela has been busy creating wonderful tassels for autumn and the upcoming holidays. Each tassel is hand-made by Angela, herself. I asked her how she makes all her amazing tassels. Angela told me she starts with a stack of beautiful, high quality ribbon...
and lots of lovely, rich trim. Do you see the darling pumpkin that will be the centerpiece for this metamorphosis?
Just mix in a little of Angela's talent...
and some of her delightful whimsy...
And, a wonderful metamorphosis takes place! This beautiful tassel is appropriately named, "Give Thanks."
Wouldn't this lovely tassel be perfect hanging from the knob of your china cabinet or buffet during this year's Thanksgiving feast?! Keep reading...it could be yours! :-)
I asked Angela where she gets her inspiration for her wonderful tassels. Angela told me, "First, I ask myself if I am in the mood for whimsical, fun, rustic, elegant, etc?
"Then, I pick ribbon, fringe, or a top that I'm in the mood to play with. I pull in all of the materials that I think will coordinate well together...I may or may not actually use all of them."
"Before I get started, I never know how a tassel will look in the end. It evolves as I create it."
I'm always in awe each time I see the beautiful tassel Angela "finds" in all those bits of ribbon and trim. They are truly little works of art!
I just love this Mallard Duck tassel that's currently for sale at The Tassel House .
Wouldn't he be great hanging from a lamp in a study or hunt themed family room?!
