Accessorizing a Console Table or Chest

THIS POST IS FROM ROOM REMIX - THE BLOG .

You may remember this Accessorizing Shelves/Bookcases post that I did in March. In that post I talked about how accessorizing can be a very overwhelming process for some and that, in those cases, copying can be a good thing!

I also said:
"Sure there are guidelines, and I outline some of them in this Accessorizing Above Kitchen Cabinets post that I did last July.... Sometimes people find though that, even with guidelines, it's just not happening for them. This is when you can use the concept of imitating the structure of an arrangement that you like (which was one of the tips I gave in this Fireplace Accesorizing - Using What You Have post)."

With that in mind, and because I've had questions from people who are unsure what to put both above and on their tables, this post provides you with images of decorated console tables/chests that will hopefully give you some inspiration and ideas for accessorizing your own.

This one is obviously a sideboard, which can also be hard for some to accessorize. The other structures shown in this post could be used/modified for a sideboard as well.
