A table under a TV...

This is a corner my formal living room...
Not that it IS formal,
we just call it that.
in this corner of the LR
I have a very big and very old
chest that sits under a unfortunately very large TV.
 
  I  kept
the accessories on the chest
light and airy
because the chest and the TV
are both so dark and heavy.
So, I used light colored
elements from the sea
under clear glass cloches.
 Some are even souvenirs
that we found on various vacations,
which gives the vignette more meaning for our family.
 I like how the clear glass
and the lightness of everything
is such a contrast against the dark wood. 
 The chest is very rough and shabby.
So that is a contrast against the smooth glass as well. 
 So there you have it, 
another little corner of the Covington cottage.
