I was pondering Friday's photo challenge of repetition while
preparing some shots for White Wednesday.
I started with this cabinet, located just inside the front door.
Very quickly I noticed that nearly every vignette in my home is based
on repetition. Seriously, look at this display alone!
The jars, finials, fabric balls, birds, all in multiples.
Creme de la creme, check out the
mirror reflecting not one, but TWO more mirrors.
Panning just the front room alone, netted more examples of my
obvious attraction to multiples, to repetition. I will only show a few
or this post would be much too long.
Analysis would venture some theories I suppose.
Multiples are everywhere, I even had two children. :-0
Not satisfied with one necklace, I nearly always wear three.
Yep, more than one of these too.

OK, a reprieve. Just like my kids, one boy, one girl.
I may be repetitive, but I'm not obsessive.

I'm looking around my house and I don't do that. I love the look, but I think I tend to mix textures and sizes in groupings. I don't really "collect" anything. Interesting post, has me thinking!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blog...can't wait to check out your etsy.

Well, I believe they are called "collections", instead of multiples. :-) However, you might need more than two puppies for a collection...THOSE would be multiples. Let me know when you get them - I'm really good a petting puppies!
ReplyDeleteHad some catching up to do - can SO relate to your post on rudeness last week, too! Had a dear friend take it on the chin at the new Wine Store that opened up last week...we took care of that!
Why not have multiples when they're as wonderful as yours?!? I love the wooden finials best! Julie <3
ReplyDeleteYour photos are soooo beautiful! I am going to gush here a little and say that your home must be a haven to go to. Every photo I've seen is just beautiful! Theresa xoxo
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Repetition is wonderful when decorating the home. You've done it up right. :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzan, I couldn't leave a message yesterday for some reason..anyho..love your white dresser with the finials...so gorgeous. Thanks for popping over, Tamara x
ReplyDeleteLove your blog banner :)
just love the cabinet with all the wonderful multiples.
ReplyDeleteThere certainly is more fun in numbers.
Love the dogs,
Evi
Nobody does repetition better than you friend!!! Gosh I love your decorating style.
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all your encouragement lately, I appreciate you so much.
Love the photo's you presented and I guess I haven't thought of collections as multiples but then again I have 6 children so collections might fit me better!
Blessings
