Spring on the Dining Room Table

Good morning friends! I always keep the table set in the dining room to be a nice welcome when anyone comes over. I set a new table for Spring to share with you! The dining room is to the right when you come in the door.

I found the dinner plates on clearance at Pier 1 several years ago so grabbed them I was lucky that they had 4 left. The little appy plates came from Home Goods a couple of years ago.

 I added a different nest at each place setting.

 My Napolean Bee flatware is a staple during the Spring and Summer.

 I gathered a turquoise napkin and a flowered napkin (that matches the place mats), in a flower ring.

2 cute watering can candles were added to the centerpiece along with the turquoise candle holders and LED candles. Then a little potted plant.

 The wine glasses are hand painted and were a gift from my SIL many years ago. They each have a different flower painted on them. Thanks, Janie.

I found the runner at Christmas Tree Shops last year, I think.

 If we were eating at this table I would definitely switch out the centerpiece for a small vase of flowers for easy conversation!

 At night we can light the candles.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Our weather has been a roller coaster. We had 7 out of 11 weekends of RAIN, then this past week we had 2 days of high 80's then today it went back to the LOW 70's for the high. Crazy!

Spring in the Living Room!

Good morning! Spring is my favorite season. I love seeing the grass turning green, the flowers coming to life, the trees budding them blooming. Sometimes the weather is like a roller coaster and this year it sure has been. Tons of rain and cool temps followed by summer like for a day then back to cool. But it is still a favorite season. I transitioned from Easter decor to Spring. 

 The bunnies on the mantle are put away and I brought out some birds, nests and an arrangement of blue and white.

 On the hearth I placed a vase with some dried lavender.

 The pillow is new this year.

 I got some shots at dusk too.

 I am liking the simpler look.

 Some of you may not have seen this new side table. Joe found it online and fell in love with it. It is made from the trunk of a tree, all one piece. I placed one of the elephants that came from India next to it, as it is carved from a single piece of wood as well.

Thanks for your visit. Have a beautiful day and I hope it is Spring where you are!

Transitioning from Easter to Spring, in the Morning Room

Good morning  my friends!!!! We had our (beautiful, sweet, generous, funny, loving) granddaughter all last week so I didn't get the Easter decor away til the weekend. It was a great week with lots of fun. We made lots of memories. It is fun to transition, for me. I pull out my things and find it fun to try to do something a little different every year. I also am paring down with some of my decor.  So here is what I came up with for the morning room. Spring always is like a new beginning and I love the bright spring colors and decor.

 Most of you know that Joe made this hutch for me. I still love it.

 For Spring I like to use birds, bird cages and gardening decor.

 I wound 2 garlands together for the top of the hutch. Switched my black lantern for the white one, then added some birds.

 2 matching bird houses are on the top shelf.

 Along with some pots and gardening people, and a small watering can.

 I found this set of 3 gardening people on clearance about 6 years ago and got all 3 for $5.00!!!!

 It is so wonderful to see the plants bursting through the soil, the trees starting to bloom, the sun shining and and the world coming back to life. It makes my heart happy.
                                        Thanks so much for your visit. I hope you are enjoying Spring, whereever you are.
                                                  XO, Pinky
