Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...

...or so I hope. Last month I came across a beautiful Australian blog that I just can't seem to get enough of. Simply Natural is filled with gorgeous photos that inspire changes in your own home decor. After viewing the author's post on her love of shells, I tried to accomplish "the look" she shared with pieces of my own personal seaside junk around the house. Mixed together with time-worn leather suitcases, vintage aluminum thermoses and a few old glass jars, the finished look was quite pleasing.






Below is her inspiring photo:


And here is my junky take on it...


I think I'll add a few more junk fillers to it at some point, but overall I'm fine with the way it looks now. Do you look to others to replicate a look?

As always, take care and keep on junking!
