"Softening" Your Table-Tops Part 2

Now for more tips on "softening" those table-tops! Today we will look at ways to use tassels to do the trick...yes, tassels. One way is to attach a tassel to the accessory, such as this box shown here.  Another great way is to simply lay the tassel on a stack of books...it's a great look and you will see how the tassel really does "soften" the area. Try it! 

Or you can hang the tassel on the furniture piece itself to soften the look...it really sounds to simple to be true, but it is.

And now for a way you may have already tried...on a lamp. Even though this photo has flowers as well, the tassel alone would have softened too.

Or just a fringed lampshade...

Here is yet another trick...drape the tassels around your porcelain accessories or even at the base of your candlesticks!

Remember I said earlier to lay one on a stack of books?  Well, here the tassel was just tied around some standing books...a great look and it gives that "softer" look to the whole table!

Now you have two ways so far to soften your table-tops. What do you think...will you try any of these?  Stop back by later for Part 3 with another great "softening" tip you can use. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a...

"Simply Irresistible" Day!
