Easter Vignettes

Tomorrow is Easter, so I am sharing my favorite Easter vignettes from around my house. 

I just love decorating for Easter! All the bright, pretty colors always seem to call out to me and I have a very hard time saying no to bunnies and eggs!

It's the little things that make a house a home, and it's how you put them together that defines your personal style. I mix up all different styles and types of home decor, from farmhouse to vintage to classic and modern. The common denominator for me is color. (And Spring is all about color!) Somehow, it always ends up working out!

If you go with what you love, you can't go wrong!

Happy Easter!!!

My Spring Collection

Spring has finally arrived!

Now if only the weather would get the message! It's still freezing cold and snowy here in northern Indiana and I am more than ready for some nice, warm, sunny weather!

I've been hard at work spending these gloomy Indiana days making bright, happy Spring wreaths and other home décor items for another round of craft shows. I just love Spring with all it's pretty colors and flowers and it's been especially fun translating that into my wreaths!

A colorful Spring wreath definitely adds a pop of much needed color and beauty to any front door, but I've actually branched out, so to speak, and started making birdhouses too! And painting terra cotta pots. You gotta diversify!

Here's my Spring Collection in all it's glory!

Forsythia is one of the first signs of Spring!

These giant Magnolias are perfect for any lover of Farmhouse décor!

What better way to welcome Spring than with these sunny yellow tulips and blue berries!

Hydrangea wreaths are one of my most popular styles and it's easy to see why!

Purple and Green!

You don't see too many wreaths with blue in them.

Hi!

The perfect way to welcome your guests to your home!

Pretty little pink flowers!

This is probably my most favorite wreath I've ever made!

Pastels are always spot on for Spring!

Okay, I must admit that I have never been a fan of deco mesh wreaths. Until this one! I think I'm actually going to keep this cutie for myself!

A great wreath if you're hosting an Easter Egg hunt!

I've had this burlap, lace, and carrot wreath in my head for a few years and it finally came to fruition!

Nothing says Easter quite like the Easter Bunny himself!

Birdhouses and nests are some of my favorite Spring décor items because they last well before Easter and can even stay out all Summer long!

Ombre makes everything cooler and metallics are super hot right now! These are perfect for a little herb garden!

The perfect Farmhouse pot.

This beauty would look great on a front door as a non-traditional wreath, but it would look just as awesome on a gallery wall!

Happy Spring!!!

Perfect Little Primroses

Fresh flowers are always an awesome addition to your home decor. They instantly brighten a room and definitely brighten your day! 

But having fresh flowers on hand at all times isn't always possible. They can be expensive! I usually like to shop the "expired" flowers at Kroger (they usually look just as good and cost half the price!) But, even buying half off flowers can get expensive. I've actually taken to making my own faux floral arrangements, but there's just something about fresh flowers that even the nicest fake ones can't beat!

The other day, I stopped at Aldi's and in the checkout lane they had several different colors of primroses in colorful pots for only 99 cents! Now I can afford that! I got a bright, sunny, happy, little yellow one!

I have a gorgeous blue and white asian-inspired flower pot that last Spring held some "tete-a-tete" daffodils and I've been looking for something to fill it with here lately. I totally spaced when planting bulbs this year and forgot to save a few back for it. Apparently, it was meant to be, because the primroses look perfect in it!

Take a look!

The primroses looked cute in their little yellow pot, but they look amazing in the blue and white one! Switching out a generic store flower pot for a nicer one really helps take your home decor to another level.

I think I have a new favorite flower!

Instantly elevated!

I love the pops of orange in the middle! And the pop of Spring they bring to my house!

Decorating with Jadeite

With Christmas come and gone and no end in sight to our snowy weather, I have decided to perk up my home decor with all my new Jadeite! It brings a touch of Spring to our cold and dreary days here in northern Indiana and it makes me happy!

I only started collecting Jadeite about a month ago, when I was lucky enough to find a Jane Ray cup and saucer in an antique store in Florida (you can read all about it here!) Since then, my collection has grown to a whopping five pieces! Pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself. Prior to my first find, I couldn't find any Jadeite to save my life, so I am very happy that I keep stumbling upon it recently! My goal is to one day have loads of Jadeite to fill my hutch with, like so many lucky ducks I see on Pinterest and Instagram!

For now, I will just enjoy seeing a few pops of that minty green throughout my home! Currently, most of my Jadeite is confined to the dining room, but my McKee canister is acting like a flower pot in my living room. Jadeite is not just for the kitchen! Although, I do hope to be making use of my cakestand very soon!

My beloved hutch! Hopefully, it will one day be filled with Jadeite! Until then, up top is my reproduction cakestand that I got at World Market and I've got my official Fire King berry bowl just chilling down below.

I've got a little more pastel going on than usual with my two cakestands, but it just looks so good! 

My citrus recipe box from Rifle Paper Co. fits in perfectly with my Jadeite! I absolutely love anything vintage/vintage inspired!

This is a McKee canister that once held flour, sugar, or the like. It had a lid at one time too, but they are hard to come by! I saw this in an antique store and it looked immediately to me like a flower pot. So that's what I decided to use it for! I've got some big plans for it in the future too!

My very first piece of Jadeite! My Jane Ray teacup and saucer! I love it!

I just love that color!
