Spring Decor in Shafferland

 

We had that delightful tease of spring last month, so even though the temps have slid back into the cold region again, my heart remains hopeful for a someday spring! I have dressed the house accordingly, hoping that will lure it a little more. 😉

            Most of my decorations are truly spring-related and not so much about Easter. But then again, it’s not all complete yet, so we’ll be adding as we go. Let me show you what I have done so far.

            I found this ADORABLE little egg carton in the boutique at Ryan’s work – for $3.00. I thought it would be a perfect piece for the kitchen, and until then the kitchen had nothing else in it, so at least it feels tended to now.

            I changed up some of the flowers in my dining room pitcher, pulling out the winter pieces and adding in a little color. And I now have a candle for the lantern back there, so when it’s darker out, I can create some ambience.

            My mom painted this sweet little basket back when I was a kiddo and she was into ceramics. I’ve had this for years. I’m pretty sure it was either my grandma’s or my great-grandma’s, and I inherited it. I would like to get some non-plastic-grass for it, but I haven’t found it yet, so for now it’s just hanging out on the table, empty.

            I switched up some flowers in this pitcher, too. This sits in our office/guest room.

            And I added this little vase to the sit/stand desk. I can enjoy it when I’m having meetings in that room!

            This vase by our bed has been updated for spring.

            And this one is also in our bedroom.

            This one, too!

            I love this shelf we have in the stairwell. I had the gray and white basket and decided to fill it with spring flowers. It is perfect for that corner!

            This is one of the few specific-to-Easter pieces we have in the house. (Not the rainbow picture. Under it.) I found that sign on clearance at the consignment store last year and bought it. I also have a painting from Lindsay Letters I’d like to hang in this general area, but I keep forgetting to purchase a frame for it. (The frame I did use has something else in it now.)

            This little bird and nest also came from the boutique at Ryan’s work. I have them in my cloche jar. It doesn’t feel 100% finished yet, but it’s better than the empty that the cloche was a few days ago!

            A couple of pieces I already owned…

            I can’t even remember where I found that egg bouquet. The rest was all in a collection I already had, but this grouping of it is new.

            I switched out my song lyric in the frame.

            And updated the flowers in my bathroom!

            I’ll keep watching for good deals on things that might complete the areas that need a little fluff, but I’m pleased with how it looks and how much I already had. Other than the bird, nest, and egg carton, I didn’t buy anything new for this year!
