On Vignettes.

Today, Jules over at Pancakes and French Fries wrote a post about vignettes.

Vignettes are the only difference between MY house, and the houses you see on design blogs or in magazines.

Well, vignettes and a crapload of dirty dishes.
And tons of empty walls.
And scratched floors.
And piles of undone laundry.

But mainly the vignettes.

Every time I see a vignette in a photo, I think "Hey, that looks really nice."

Followed almost immediately by "I wonder how long it takes them to dust all that stuff?"

Which is the main reason my house has no vignettes- the more stuff you have OUT, the more stuff you have to dust.  And when you're like me, and you routinely consider selling your house and moving instead of actually CLEANING it, the less things you have to wipe down or dump shed dog hairs out of, the better.
