Hi Friends!
Spring is officially in the air! I took my first walk around the block with the kids yesterday, and they played in the yard for about two hours. I am now counting down the day until our cherry blossom in the front yard grows. It honestly is the most gorgeous tree and you can see its pretty pink flowers from my bedroom windows.
Since we are also having an early Easter, the decorating has begun. I stopped at (of course my favorite store in the world) Homegoods last week and picked up a few pieces to add to my decor that I bought from last year.
Honestly, how does it always seem you had more than enough the year before and then as you pull out your decor you feel that there are gaps in your vignettes and there is no way you can live with what you have. I am just curious if there will ever be a holiday/season that I do not have to pick up more and save a little money. Probably not! haha
So anyway I picked up a very cute new bunny, some more topiaries, and a thing or two to help fill the space. Also another BIG problem is my usual decorating of the mantel with the TV above. It is always difficult finding ways to decorate around the enormous TV rather than to work with the gorgeous mirror, painting, etc that is already there. Does anyone else have this problem that has a TV above your mantel? You always end up with two vignettes on each side of the mantel.
So onto the pictures…that’s what you stopped by for, anyway…
I must admit that I still have my Valentine’s Day decorations on the mantle… Eek! I like the tins with the topiary look, as well – thanks for inspiring me to get to it!
No worries Sarah, I had Christmas photos in my entryway up until last week haha.
I love the bunny–so cute! 🙂
Thanks Angela! My kids really enjoy seeing the bunny too…Im glad I’ll get to have it up there for at least a month.
What a lovely mantel. You’ve combined the elements to give it a beautiful flow. Thanks for sharing on the Spring Craft Blog Hop.
Thanks so much Beverly!
I love everything you do, girl! What a beautiful space you have created. Wow. So inspiring. I’m not much of a seasonal decorator, but I LOVE how you have brought Spring into your home with class!
Thanks so much! This made me smile.
BEAUTIFUL! I especially love your entry way! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Amanda!
I love all your spring decor! Your house is gorgeous.
Thanks so much Amy!
I love your additions! They are all just what your home needed to brighten it up and get it ready for spring. Is that wall paper in your dining room? That is beautiful! I would never have thought to use that texture on a wall, amazing!
Hi Emily,
Thank you! Yes it is wallpaper…we put that in after trying to remove the wallpaper that was already in this room (from the previous owners) and after the wall being completely destroyed we decided just to recover it with some more wallpaper. Love this though, it is a faux grasscloth. Can not wait to finish that room to post about it.
Wow, I LOVE your home! I have my eye on that planked wall. LOVE! Thanks for sharing with the Pretty Preppy Party!

Thanks so much Ashley! That means so much coming from you : )
Your home looks so pretty and inviting. I’m loving your touches of spring. I really need to get my act together and start doing something in my house. It’s hard to do when there is a fresh, thick layer of snow on the ground though! LOL.
Thanks so much Robin! I know this snow for sure needs to melt.
Cute ideas. Pinned and tweeted. We are so thrilled to have you at our party. Please stop by tonight at 7, so we can see your amazing projects. Lou Lou Girls

Your home is lovely. I don’t have a television above the mantel, but I do have one tucked into a niche and I have no idea what to do with the odd space above it.

Thanks so much Suzanne! So honored to hear that from someone so talented as yourself!
Nice to be thinking about spring already. Even thought it’s not quite here yet I have found some of my spring décor creeping into the living room along with a few lovely hyacinth arrangements that I have just received for my birthday.
