Episode 80 - What Stops Your Scroll: How One Chair Inspired 17 Creators

Have you ever been scrolling Pinterest and stopped mid-scroll because something about an image just pulled you in? That’s exactly where this episode begins.

In today’s Rescued & Upcycled, Sonnet shares how her creative membership group uses “Stop the Scroll” sessions to study what makes a vignette truly captivating — from color and composition to texture and storytelling.

She then takes you behind the scenes of their latest community challenge, Deck the Chairs, inspired by a stunning holiday photo from Country Sampler Farmhouse Style Magazine. What began as a simple styling exercise turned into a full-blown collaboration featuring 17 creators, each reimagining the same vignette through their own creative lens.

Listen as Sonnet breaks down what makes a perfect vignette, shares how this challenge came together, and invites you to join in by creating your own Deck the Chair vignette at home.
