Decorating with Crystal and Stones

<div style="text-align: center;">Every room needs some natural elements. Typically this includes a living plant and some fresh flowers. Due to my black thumb, however, (remember my <a href="http://tiffanyleighinteriordesign.blogspot.ca/2012/10/you-killed-our-love-fern.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #e06666;">fern</span></a>?...it didn't work out), I look for other ways to incorporate nature into my apartment. One way that I do that is through stones and crystals, which are sculptural, textural, beautiful, and add that much needed natural touch. <br /><br />Here are the current pieces that I have in my space:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIxISyf0ehVn-SHvmWnjckZ6tTxItFkc5nPzxK1aptQoeaZXLyswMEjKefMFKFanNUuP7O-I0EGcznjzTIzfkaK7b4LsfslT0l8s6R7SHPYHUJedZ8-bLBAtpajXGs9jgz4vdSbBmtWls/s1600/WHITE+CRYSTAL+EDIT+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIxISyf0ehVn-SHvmWnjckZ6tTxItFkc5nPzxK1aptQoeaZXLyswMEjKefMFKFanNUuP7O-I0EGcznjzTIzfkaK7b4LsfslT0l8s6R7SHPYHUJedZ8-bLBAtpajXGs9jgz4vdSbBmtWls/s1600/WHITE+CRYSTAL+EDIT+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJCoHUUotkDQMZaOCVQueOXNSuzF9m31sZyBkXiPoZxraYArHO5P51dvnvUThQ9X-uQCH9P6U6PkX8PnDrZC16KmcXUe78D_6HnJZjUEk4onnXofLc_rbE7bzagg1FQ6nROtgHikA741U/s1600/WHITE%252BCRYSTAL%252B2%252BEDIT+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJCoHUUotkDQMZaOCVQueOXNSuzF9m31sZyBkXiPoZxraYArHO5P51dvnvUThQ9X-uQCH9P6U6PkX8PnDrZC16KmcXUe78D_6HnJZjUEk4onnXofLc_rbE7bzagg1FQ6nROtgHikA741U/s1600/WHITE%252BCRYSTAL%252B2%252BEDIT+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfCEcwljzFd-ixiwVol1zerlDaIaO6TYQNpwpBC_32Rr9g2mzACToafvGw9Eizb-oZbxt4t7gap_aZ-nJGM1QmyNLPeTO4OsrkrMS-bRwOQrUcyW5WByWvSTxEqelZGiQ0E_E0VGiDaJM/s1600/AGATE%252BBOOKENDS%252BEDIT+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="410" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfCEcwljzFd-ixiwVol1zerlDaIaO6TYQNpwpBC_32Rr9g2mzACToafvGw9Eizb-oZbxt4t7gap_aZ-nJGM1QmyNLPeTO4OsrkrMS-bRwOQrUcyW5WByWvSTxEqelZGiQ0E_E0VGiDaJM/s1600/AGATE%252BBOOKENDS%252BEDIT+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRS-lfU39eCKnfuNfOEJ2QzZJvy-yiipO247UCAO56H5vNFFDrUoVhFfOZtq1JCs9U7aTlBFKBh1ANJJAFQSatf5eXNiBdz13CPkWk3qt8fI3bioQ94hh_s06jQmbV82oPb-5KbybskxE/s1600/AMETHYST%252BCHUNK%252BEDIT+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRS-lfU39eCKnfuNfOEJ2QzZJvy-yiipO247UCAO56H5vNFFDrUoVhFfOZtq1JCs9U7aTlBFKBh1ANJJAFQSatf5eXNiBdz13CPkWk3qt8fI3bioQ94hh_s06jQmbV82oPb-5KbybskxE/s1600/AMETHYST%252BCHUNK%252BEDIT+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQsGa5KVgc8MdKDzvkFPIm17oirW__mOAg5Gq09jovMhPNHnHY6Z_AFa_gop46nkcXUe1_a-o8K7zyayYddgdqGMDdVjl09QkFBcEmzOsMvrIVsVKg3LsRNAwdwpWa2Cewr5-krc6j89E/s1600/AMETHYST%252BCHUNK%252BTOPVIEW%252BEDIT+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="435" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQsGa5KVgc8MdKDzvkFPIm17oirW__mOAg5Gq09jovMhPNHnHY6Z_AFa_gop46nkcXUe1_a-o8K7zyayYddgdqGMDdVjl09QkFBcEmzOsMvrIVsVKg3LsRNAwdwpWa2Cewr5-krc6j89E/s1600/AMETHYST%252BCHUNK%252BTOPVIEW%252BEDIT+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />If you'd like to find some crystal for yourself, I recommend keeping an eye out at antique stores and flea markets, where they always have a good gem or two!

Bar Cart Styling

<div style="text-align: center;">About a year and a half ago, I picked up a little beat up bar cart at a flea market for $30 (you can read about it <a href="http://tiffanyleighinteriordesign.blogspot.ca/2012/07/flea-market-find-brass-bar-cart-and.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ea9999;">here</span></a>) and since then, I have slowly been growing my collection of things to style it with. This Christmas, a few gifts from my wonderful family topped off the whole thing!<br />Is it sort of sad that it took me this long? Yes, absolutely, but it was well worth the wait. It's the perfect mix of old and new, sparkly and colorful. I also didn't think I would have room for this somewhat 'luxury' item in my tiny studio apartment but I can honestly say it fits here perfectly!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJi_Imup3pip3jK5eQs-PcQ1esanNVYXLCvXMo5YEvpkPkWJsCLreTzafu4euZHYQqVShrkY45OWZ9I_3zTR292ig57XopSI8VYQXGlU9IG8iAx-1rnV-Bw7sHP3I0fErCD8cAhVyma3M/s1600/023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
