Celebrate Spring Decorating Ideas

Celebrate Spring


I don’t know about you but by the time March rolls around, I am ready to celebrate. Even though as I write this and look out my window at the snowflakes descending from the sky, I am inspired to start decorating for Spring. Officially Spring doesn’t start until the 21st of March, but here are some ways to get a “hop” on the season and decorate your table for Spring.


Put all your eggs in one basket
This centerpiece is beautiful in its simplicity.  A beautiful rustic wire basket filled with pastel eggs. It is a perfect centerpiece for Spring and can be used specifically for Easter. The colors would complement almost any décor. In this example, baby’s breath was used as an accent, but really any spring flower would work well. You could mix in some colorful crocus’ to add a bit more interest.





Birds Nest
This is an interesting take on centerpiece.  It is more for a casual setting, perhaps a breakfast bar.  I really like the shades of blue represented in the eggs and how they contrast with the dark nest.








Floral Arrangement


One of the things I love most about spring are the flowers. I love having fragrant flowers picked from my garden all around my house.  In this centerpiece, the vase is filled with colorful eggs.  This was achieved with an outer vase and a smaller inner vase.  The eggs are placed in between and the flowers can be in the inner vase.  Adding the inner vase allows you to keep the flowers in water but not the eggs.



Nature's Harvest
The carrot goes hand and hand with Easter; after all,  it's what the Easter Bunny eats. What a perfect element to incorporate into your dinner table centerpiece. This centerpiece uses fresh carrots complete with the leafy tops and simple yet beautiful daises.







Bountiful Spring
I have to say it, but I LOVE this non-traditional centerpiece. This one from Southern Living not only uses flowers but incorporates carrots and brussel sprouts.  This centerpiece is eclectic and would work well in an elegant dining room or in a farmhouse kitchen. You can find information on how to recreate this centerpiece here http://www.southernliving.com/home-garden/holidays-occasions/easter-centerpiece/easter-centerpiece-materials



Happy Spring Decorating, everyone!!

January is the Time to Buy Bed Linens

By
Did you know that the average person spends about a third of their life in bed? Since most of us spend between 6 to 8 hours (and for the lucky ones, 8-10 hours) in bed, it’s important to choose the right bed sheets for your bed. And – it’s an added bonus if the sheets enhance the overall décor of your bedroom as well. Since January is the best time of year to shop for new bed linens, here are a few tips to be aware of before you start sheet-shopping: Size: Before you go out and buy new sheets, I’d like to suggest that you measure your bed (including the width of the side of your mattress). In the past, sheet sizes such as “twin,” “full,” “queen” and king” were reliable and would fit all beds according to size. But recently, many mattress manufacturers have added extra comfort features, such as pillow top mattresses which are deeper than older mattresses. There are so many different size mattresses now that it is important to know before you venture out on your quest for new...

How to Mix Metals in Decorating

By
One of the coolest design trends to emerge in 2016 was Mixed Metals. It has long been regarded that if you had silver in your space then you shouldn’t use gold or it would look out of place. Many people think that by matching the finishes is the best way to coordinate your home or kitchen, but in reality this often creates a monochromatic and less interesting space. Mixing metals is the perfect way to add visual interest and depth to your space. The trick is to create a look that is cohesive and not mismatched.  Here are some tips to Mixing Metals in your space: Choose a Dominate Metal - Its important to choose one metal that you like to act as the dominate metal and then 1  or 2 other metal to mix in. This metal color theme should be cohesive throughout your home. Having a prominent metal will help unify your space and the accent metals will help add visual interest and draw your eye around the room. When choosing your dominate metal consider your design styl...

Spring Trends

By
All the nice weather is making me think of Spring. In the following article Leslie Hendrix Wood of Hadley Court ( www.hadleycourt.com ) shares this year’s Spring Trends. Makeover your Home with Spring 2017 Trends I have to be honest – I have a bad case of spring fever. If you are like me, you are ready to add a little color to your life and embrace the outdoors. After all the inspiration from Paris Design Week, here are 5 emerging trends we are seeing that will update and freshen any décor. Green: Photo courtesy of Elle Decor I’m always an advocate for fresh…fresh flowers, fresh veggies….fresh scents. This time, it’s literal. Earlier this year, Pantone came out with its color of the year: Greenery, the cousin of chartreuse. The rich and savory color sets a mood that’s inviting and soothing. I know for many it can be daring to go so bold. Try an accent wall and balancing it with more subtle hues in furniture (dark woods, greys). Still unsure? Green accessories such as gl...
