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:)
 This platter was a gift from a cousin and I used my other gnome and a small bird.

 At this end I gathered 3 cloches and filled them with nests, pots, and birds. Excuse the Alexa speaker:)




 The cloche on the fridge has a nest painted on one side and a butterfly on the other side. The candle is on a timer so comes on each night.


 This is a candle holder and I have a lily of the valley candle in it that smells SO good!
 Another vignette by the sink features my favorite lamp, another cloche and a nest and a small bunny.

I put 4 of my 8 herb plates in the glass cabinets. I love them there.

 I have had the spoon rest for YEARS and found the utensil holder last year at Joann Fabrics!
 I made this stand just by turning a bowl upside down and placing a large glass cake plate on top! I got the idea from Pinterest.

Thanks for your visit. I hope Spring has sprung at your house too!

Gardening and Nesting at the Table

I set a new table for us using one of my favorite runners and birds and nests!
 A green and white place mat provides the base for the setting. Then I added a cut out charger, a lime green dinner plate, a pretty designed green and white salad plate and a bird nestled down into a "nest" that is created with a tiny twig wreath and a green candle holder.

 A green and a white bird flank the centerpiece.
 For the centerpiece I used a round basket and gathered some gardening elements:
 I got this at Kirklands years ago but still love it.
 I added the topiary for height, the nest, a small watering can, some clay pots and a gardening rake.
 My watering can S and P are perfect for this table too.
 These are actually place card holders. I just tucked them down into the napkins and laid them on the white ceramic napkin ring.










 I didn't get any night time shots with the candles lit.

THanks for your visit. We are now having SUMMER weather; yesterday was 88 and today is to be 90. Crazy. Then we got back to the 60's again. I think Mother Nature is confused:)

New Bedding For Spring in the Master

Good morning! I just have to say our weather has finally broken and it is Spring, finally! In fact, this week we are going to approach 90!!! Crazy weather! But I am not going to complain. I finally was able to go get some flowers yesterday and will get more today! Now, I purchased this bedding last year but never got it on the bed. I finally did it about a month ago. I am really liking it for Spring. The soft colors are calming and restful to me.


I love the combination of pillows that came with the set.

 On Joe's nightstand I placed an arrangement  that I made on a rock, onto a small stand.

 On the table at the foot of the bed, is a candle holder that has a twig ball on it, a faux orchid on a creamy stand, and an elephant.
On my dresser I removed the runner, added the tropical looking greens and placed the green pagoda shaped lantern. The lions have been here.

 This is the sitting area. I know some of you have seen it already. I have been trying to achieve a British Colonial look in here.


 This pagoda shaped lantern was a housewarming gift and I love it.
 These palm prints have been all over. I had them at the old house and really love them in here.


 This artwork is a metal picture of Mt. Fuji. It has a velvet mat and the gold frame. I spray painted the wicker basket.
 This tray table was a gift from my son. I love anything with an Asian theme.
The picture over Joe's dresser is from Vietnam. I made the arrangement years ago.


 This plate above my dresser has always been a favorite too.

Thanks for your visit.
