Crowning glory ...

Now that Prince William has popped the question, we all should be dusting off our crowns in preparation for the royal wedding. Perhaps we will not reign at his parade, but we can still flaunt a few imperial touches just the same.

  

Above, vintage crown earrings (left) selling on Etsy by Jealous Cat, and the majestic bookmarks (right) are from Hot Ref.


Coasters from Miss Finnans and hand-beaded pillows from Lili Alessandra will make a home feel like a castle.


EAB Designs has stamped linen napkins (above) with a crown design fit for a king.

 
These charming Kings Road dessert plates from Rosanna are sure to impress, as will the adorable favor boxes from My Jean M.



Someday a prince may come, but until then why not enjoy our time as a Ladies in Waiting with our own dishware from Anthropologie (above).


Can't touch the floor when seated on your throne? Drag out that old ottoman and give it new life like Aimee Boschet did above. She painted the wood base and embellished some burlap with a stamped crown motif that she used to reupholster the padded top. Good thinking, Aimee. It's nice to give your royal footmen a rest!
