Farmhouse French Friday Tip 14

By Anita 31 Comments

Today’s tip is using a cloche in your home. They come in all sizes and some are old and some are new. There are loads of different ones to choose from.

I used to not know what to do with them. But then I realized you can keep them empty, so there’s no pressure!

Below I keep a small ivy on my kitchen table under a cloche. The cloche keeps the moisture inside.

I keep cloches in my dining room also. If you can’t figure out what to put under the cloche, you can always put books there.

I keep cloches everywhere. They are so pretty and elegant. The neat thing is that they are relatively inexpensive and will never go out of style. They are flexible because you can put whatever you want under them.

Here I have more books and a vintage troup under the cloches and even some dried flowers.

Sometimes I even put the Eiffel Tower under a cloche.

I use them on the table with these chalkboard sheep.

Here I just used very simple books tied with twine.

Sometimes I add dried roses to a cloche.

And sometimes I add a staircase.

There’s really no wrong way to use them.

    I so love the way you use the cloches to display your beautiful items from books to those wonderful dried flowers and I also love them “empty” grouped in your gorgeous vignettes! Have a great weekend!

    You have some great ideas for keeping it chic and pretty! I adore your timeless style and I completely agree with your earlier thoughts about the “Fixer Upper Effect”.

          Wendy. Okay, thanks for the tip. You should see a picture of a cloche and it should say Amazon somewhere.

    Sunday, Greetings Anita,
    My pleasure is gazing at your French farmhouse vignettes. Collecting is a pastime for
    most women who have passion for old world. I own so many of what you are displaying here. Your displays are layed with simplicity. Trays and glass domes are lovely. I have several, however, you have enlighten me to laying what I have. Your style is comfortable. Thank you for sharing.

    Good morning! I love all your ideas. My favorites are the rolled up music pages and the ivy. I need to add some live plants to my décor so I’ll copy that! Cloches are often difficult for me to use and I love them. For fall, I have two on a side table in my family room. In one I put faux acorns and the other large one candy corn. 🙂 Of course everyone raids the candy corn one and I’m constantly re-filling it – but that’s ok.
    Have a beautiful weekend!

    Your photos are eye candy and I love your style. But it’s hard and expensive to change styles in your home when it is totally different. So I just started adding little things and a cloche was my first purchase and now I am obsessed with them!! I put seasonal items under mine so now there are pumpkins! Thanks!!

    I bought a couple of cloches after seeing something similar on your blog last year. At Christmas, I put some glass ornaments in one. Love these ideas, especially the little creamer!

    Absolutely love the use of cloches’, they can be used in any room and pretty much any style of decorating. they are made of more than just glass, although the glass ones are my favorite. The wire ones are more primative looking.
