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!

XO, Pinky

Lightening Up the Mantle

As the weather FINALLY gets warmer and more Springlike, I like to lighten things up a bit. So, I redid the mantle. It was too heavy and was bothering me. Here's what I did: I removed the garland, made a new arrangement and used lots of birds!

The hearth is a little lighter too. I placed a bunch of dried lavender in one of my vases and it smells SO good!

Since the artwork has a blue and white jar with a bird on it I used blue and white birds, blue candles,and a small blue and white piece.

The candles are LED and give a soft glow at night. The blue bird is perched on a nest which is perched on a glass candle stick.

Thanks for your visit. It means alot to me.

XO, Pinky

Spring has Sprung in my Kitchen!

I love Spring. I love the month of May! The weather FINALLY changes, I get to buy and plant flowers and everything comes alive. I also like to surround myself inside with signs of Spring, and the kitchen gets some Spring love! I did a little vignette on the kitchen bar with birds and nests.

The wire cloches with the bird finial surround some herb (faux) pots.

Over at the buffet area I did a birdcage, a small arrangement, and one of my gardening gnomes. Colleen really liked him and his tiny bucket. We had her this weekend:)
