Spring Inside the House

Our weather man hasn't looked at the calendar I guess! Doesn't he know it's Spring??   It's 46 degrees today and overcast!  I so want it to warm up some.  I guess if the weather outside won't cooperate, we can just go about tweaking the inside so it looks like Spring. I know it won't be long until we're complaining about it being so hot, so I'll enjoy whatever we have.  Here are a few spots of Spring at Shadymont.  I know you have seen some of these before, but maybe some of you haven't.  



This sits on the coffee table in the family room.  The tote came from Michael's a year or so ago.

I love this box with the rabbits on it.  I believe it is from Michael's also.  



I added this small book underneath the cloche with the bird and flower.  I think it adds interest, and it is the perfect color.


I found these sweet birds at the Dollar Tree.

I went through a bunch of my decor bins earlier this week, and came across this chalk pear and apple.  I had been wondering where they were.  I'm thinking I might paint them white.  They have a green tint now.



The apple is peeping from the sewing machine drawer.  I added a couple of items to the drawer to fill it more.



I added these two tiny pink roses to this cloche with the larger white rose.  I found the small ones at a thrift shop, and the large one is from a friend.



This is printed off the computer.  I think from the Graphics Fairy.  I had the silver frame already.  I placed it with the other aqua items in the family room.  I love the way it looks!



Here's the Easter/Spring mantel.



I love the pastels of Spring.  They are so soothing!

I'll be joining:

  1. Pastels and Spring colors are so beautiful and especially after a long winter! That's a great idea with the roses under the glass cake server!...:)JP

  4. Hi Kathy! Oh, everything is so sweet and Springy! I have that same little tool box and I spray painted my trying to cover up the "Spring"! I love what you've placed in it. The cloche with the little Prayer of Jabez book looks so pretty. Love the idea of placing a tiny little book in there. I have that little book somewhere too!
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

  8. You are at it again, girl! Seems like you were just posting your valentine decorations! You inspire me...I think I may try to do my big cloche like yours with the little book in it (I just need to find a little book!). I love that "Spring" tote, too, I think it's perfect for a coffee table.

    We were sunny today and that's good enough for me! :)

    XO,

  13. I think it's a good idea to take spring into the living room as it's too cold for it to stay outside. I know that spring is waiting for the sun like me! :-)

  14. I love the spring touches you've added to your home. Like you, I am yearning for warmer temperatures - there is still snow on the ground here and it's cold!

    Thanks so much for joining in this week.

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale.   Consignmen

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They can all be seen
