Accessorize It!

Necklaces are not just for completing outfits. They can be used around the home to accessorize everything from the backs of empty chairs to potted house plants. When accessorizing with jewelry, you want to find an extra special piece. Vintage necklaces embellished with brooches make a statement for everything from that ho-hum side console table to your favorite framed picture of your pooch. Even paintings and lampshades look better when a dainty jeweled chain necklace hangs from them, giving them a whole new look. Simple straight pins help with attaching to the inside of fabric lampshades and small nails can be useful when working with wood, such as the mirror below. Keep an eye out for ornate necklaces when shopping around antique shops, you never know what you'll find and what a special touch it will bring to not only your outfit but to your home also. Happy accessorizing!
