Bunnies in the Breakfast Room

When we built this house we called this room the "morning room", because that's what it was in the model. They had it set up with a sofa, chairs, etc. I decided I wanted to use it as a breakfast room. I really like my neighbors who have it set up as a morning room but I didn't think I needed another sofa here. Anyway, that's the back story cause I know some of you who follow me know I called it the morning room when we first moved in:) Now onto the bunnies:) As most of you know, Joe built this hutch in the old house. I have thought about painting it, but hate to cover the pretty wood. It has darkened with age so I will just leave it for now. I love decorating it for each season!

I love bunnies and have many. They just make me smile.

Over in the 2 corners I have these shelves that are actually plant stands and about 100 years old:) I love the tiles on them and keep them decorated too. The bunny in the burlap bag is handmade and so is the taller one on the middle shelf. My girlfriend, Jackie made him for me. His base is a Coke bottle!

I decided to do a few things on the window sill this year.

This brown bunny with the basket is a favorite. I filled his basket with some faux tulips and other flowers.

I have 3 of these faux chocolate bunnies. I got them at K Mart years ago. They had them for 2 years, in 3 sizes and I am SO glad I bought all 3 cause they never had them again. I look each year! The "chocolate" egg came from K Mart too.

My little wire cloche is a regular on this hutch. Right now I have one of my 2 Goebel bunnies under the cloche and one beside it.

My 2 script bunnies are on the top shelf.

This guy is ceramic and I filled his basket with mini flowers too.

Here is one of the "chocolate" bunnies in a birdcage! He sits on a bed of grass with faux chocolate eggs.

A glass hurricane holds more eggs. This was a housewarming gift from Yvonne at Stonegable.

Mr. Magregor, as I call him, sits on the top of the hutch.

I threw this in to show you my new tulips in my Grandmothers vase. They are fully opened now. Yellow and pink and ruffled and gorgeous! They will be so pretty outside.

Thanks so much for your visit.

A New Coffee Table Vignette, inspired by Pinterest!

I saw this picture on Pinterest and wanted to copy it. I just had to wait til I could find the plants!!! Our garden centers don't have a thing yet BUT on Tuesday I went with a friend to Amish country and we stopped at a nursery that DID have some plants! I was excited to get them. Let me tell you, the hyacinth smells like a little piece of Heaven. Here is my inspiration picture...Sorry about the quality, I had to take a picture of a picture:)

Can't you almost smell it?

These 2 brown bunnies are Goebel, the company that makes Hummels!

This is one of my sparkly bunnies! A sprig of eggs, flowers and a nest rests on the glass plate, which is resting on white cake plate.

The sweetness of Spring in a flower.

One of my faux chocolate bunnies sits on a tall glass candle holder. I added some greens and flowers around the base.

He came from KMart several years ago, and I never saw them there again. I am so glad I bought 3 sizes!

A bunny pulling a chick in a wagon joins the scene.

Here's a birds eye view...

I did this vignette on the coffee table and then after I took these shots, moved it over to the kitchen table where we can enjoy it everyday! I will share that soon. It looks SO pretty with the runner and dishes that are on there now! I love those little Goebel bunnies.

I thought I had GREEN reindeer moss but don't:( So, that is on my list to get!! I am not thrilled so much with this brown moss... Could have used Easter "grass, but that looks so cheap to me....
