Spring On My Little Bench

I haven't had time to do much spring decorating due to
lots of activities going on with the kids.
We spent the weekend in Cleveland at a Robotics Competition
which turned out to be really fun.
However, today I did have a chance to play around with some
spring decorating on my little bench in our entryway.


It ended up being sort of a garden theme.


I added a piece of light colored burlap to the top of the bench
and then just piled on some faux flowers and greenery.


I also added this print of tulips in a pitcher ~ just right for spring.


 Of course, the little shelves needed some spring touches as well.



I have used this topiary in so many different places ~
it's great for adding height where needed.



It feels good to bring out the flowers and reminders of spring.
And we're finally having some warmer weather around here  ~ 
I hope you are too!

    I love the topiary and other floral arrangements. Does your "blog boss" jump up on the table to inspect the changes? Anything new on a surface requires our kitty crew's approval!

    It all looks so pretty and Springy and so many of you lovely folks in Midwest and east need all the Springy you can get from what I've seen on here. We have a shelf like yours except it has 3 little compartments instead of two. Used to have hooks on it also but took them off to put shelf upside down with things on shelf and in little cubby compartments. I use it on table and on shutter shelf, worked out better that way than as wall shelf.
    Your pitcher of flowers and books/gorgeous tea cup/saucers is so Springy, love colors on all of it. We make benches like yours, still have some hubs made in MT and they're hanging in there. Sturdy and quite versatile for several uses.
    Hubs would come home from the road, cut things out/put together then was my job to sand and paint/stain. They were one of our best sellers in MT. besides our little country signs.
    Would love to be able to go to Cleveland to try to find our old neighborhood, I was born in Cleveland in 1940. Think our old house still there? Was a dead end street with a pond on end where all kids skated in Winter. Behind our house was the woods. We lived there til 1950 when we moved to Tucson for my brother's health, he had asthma really bad. My Mom had relatives all over Cleveland as she was one of 7 kids. One of my aunts/uncles and cousins lived out in country in Akron. It's amazing what we remember from being kids.
    Hope you're having great weekend

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the...

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased...

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood. ...
