Spring Refresh in the Breakfast Room

Good morning! We are FINALLY going to have some beautiful Spring weather!!! Actually it will be a touch of Summer as we may get to 80 degrees. BUT, it will be short lived, 2 days then we will be back to the 50's again next week. Mother Nature is testing our patience this year! However, we must take the good with the bad and try to focus on the positives.
After Easter I put away most of my bunnies and the other Easter decor. I did leave some bunnies out as they are not "eastery" but just remind me of the ones outside, plus I LOVE bunnies. So here is what I did in the breakfast room.
 I really wanted to lighten things up.
 I did keep my Goebel bunnies here. They are just so sweet.
 I placed a pot with a nest in my hurricane with a bird next to it.
 On the top shelf I replaced the Easter bunnies with these 2 bird houses and a couple of nests.
 A watering can has an african violet in it. A nest and a bird on a rock and another bunny fill this side.
 This pedestal and bunny moved from the dining room to this spot.


 The top of the hutch got a whole new look. I removed the black lantern and dark basket and replaced them with a large white lantern, a white bunny, a pot of lily of the valley and a white birdcage.
 2 garlands are woven together to drape across the top.
 A cement looking bird and a nest fill the birdcage.
 I really like this green pot.

Thanks for your visit. I wish you a bright, sunny, beautiful day!!!

Pastels for an Early Spring table

I set a new table for us. Early Spring is a time to feature pastels at the table! I started with a yellow place mat, my white charger,yellow dinner plate and pink flower salad plate taking inspiration from the runner. I love dishes with interesting edges! It makes the plate stack so pretty!
 I nestled a spring nest between the plates.
 2 napkins are gathered in a flower ring.
 And my green flatware makes another appearance.
 Green glasses and a wire nest votive holder at each place.
 I also made a new arrangement for this table with things from my stash.
 Taking the colors from the runner I was lucky to have the correct flowers!
 Love this large peony.
 The candle sticks are in the shape of a tulip, but it is hard to see. I wove 2 flowered candle rings here too.

 A yellow napkin and a patterned green napkin are gathered together.




 The pink and peachy gerber daisies are perfect.



 I added some potted (faux) tete a tetes to bring out the yellow in the runner.
 And these pillows blend in too.




Thanks so much for your visit. I wish you a beautiful Spring day! We are going to warm up on Thurs. and then  we will hit the high 70's!!! I can't wait! It has been a very COLD April!
XO, Pinky

I Finally Found One...well Another One!!!

I have been stalking the aisles of Home Goods for MONTHS. I have 3 stores that I go to regularly but have come up dry every visit. SO, I finally went to the internet and found JUST what I was looking for and for less than I could have imagined. I was prepared to pay more so feel very fortunate that I found this! As I said, I have 2 others, but wanted another and you'll see why soon. Here it is! A new blue and white garden stool.
 I wanted to get another one to balance the look of the fireplace as I have one on the other side.
 I just love the design!
 This is the one on the other side. I may get another pothos plant for the new one.
 I really like the more balanced look.

 For now I placed one of my favorite containers that has a faux fern it it. I love this handled container that I have had for years.

 I have packed away all the bunnies that were Easter bunnies but have left these here on the mantle and hearth. I will change this area a little later in the Spring.




Thanks for your visit! I am lightening up and paring down for the Spring and summer. For this girl, that is hard as I love to be surrounded by the things I love:) I hope you have a wonderful, SPRING day. We may get SNOW this weekend. THAT does NOT make me happy!!!

Spring Welcome!

Even though the calendar says it is Spring, Mother Nature has not gotten the memo:( BUT, I welcome Spring inside and outside. I was waiting for something to share this welcome with you and finally got it yesterday! I made this wreath 2 years ago. I am still liking it but am making a new wreath for Spring/Summer that is not too "eastery".


 On my little front "porch" I have this little bunny planter and filled it with faux flowers as I haven't found peonies yet!
 This little guy is nestled by the column.
 My bunny flag will stay here for awhile too.




 I filled my lantern with Easter grass, pretty eggs, (I cut apart a garland), a plate and some carrots and a bow.
Not sure why this next picture got placed like this....
I filled my pot with some faux flowers for now.



 The green and white plaid rug is my new purchase! I LOVE it! Got it at Target online.  I like layering rugs here by the door! It was just rolled out so isn't flat yet but I wanted to share it with you.
