GENEROUS HOSPITALITY

Welcome spring, as well as visitors, in an entryway that gleams with burnished metallics. René found the small copper coal scuttle at a flea market for $5, especially drawn to its ceramic handle in a blue-and-white floral pattern. Ornament your own vintage scuttle with faux succulents and roses inserted into floral foam, and top with a bird figurine on a perch. Echo the scuttle handle’s blue-and-white floral motif by setting it on a stack of coordinating plates and placing a pair of similar pitchers nearby. Continue the bird’s narrative with a brass birdcage and a nest of eggs. Lean a vintage landscape print against a mirror and introduce candlesticks in varying finishes to complete the enchanting scene.
