Styling your coffee table is easier than you think! Start by creating a focal centre-something like a vintage plate or a bowl. Add books to create height differences, then bring in flowers for a fresh touch. Candles help set the mood with soft, flickering light.
Try it yourself and let me know how it goes!

Inspired by a vintage Crown Lynn plate, I freehand-painted this vase to give the pattern new life. No sketches just using the plate as inspiration and following the flow of the design.
Book featured by @hanrosewatt, great coffee table book to get you inspired for the outdoors.

A coffee table restyle featuring some of my favourite vintage finds and my ceramics.
I wanted to create a space that feels cosy and curated. Mixing handmade ceramics, a few vintage treasure and simple styling tricks made all the difference 🌼
My favourite element is the bowl in the centre, I love how the glaze reacted with the clay.

Trimming is shaping a piece into its final form. I love making it as smooth as possible.

I haven’t been on the wheel for a while. It was fun to jump on and just see where it took me. Turned out to be bowls. #ramen #bowls #ceramics #pottery #handmade #wheelthrowing #home #fun #love

How do you have your morning coffee?

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to my own business. A hobby started has turned into a small business. It would mean so much to me if you share this to your friends.
