Spring Home Decor - Shappy Old Crate with Filler's

I tell you I must just be a lucky girl (sometimes) because when I eyeball something I really want at my favorite antique/consignment shop and I don't get it, I wait and go back. When I go back it may be moved but its still there.. EEEEE! I eyeballed this super old (antique) crate that is heavy and sturdy, rustic and shabby. I new right away it would go on my kitchen table with some fun fillers. I also picked up some old antique silverware, the ball jar, and an old pastry blender LOVE LOVE. The other items I had and the old beat up vintage tea kettle was from another consignment shop I got 3 years ago. I played and played around until I got the look I wanted.

I totally wanted to spring it up. So I added a moss wicker nest with some speckled eggs, the basket of eggs, and the cute table runner underneath it all my mil made me a few years ago. I just love the colors so  much.

.... and here are some photos for ya. Loving this Spring Decorating, it's truly fresh and fun.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by COM, I appreciate your visits. Lots of love, jen

Home Decor- Easter Decorated Piano Top

Well I just dove right into light fresh happy spring decorating. I just love Spring and Easter. I adore the colors so much. Today I am sharing with you my Piano Top. My piano was inherited from my Grandma Jean. She was one of the most talented pianist and had a voice on her too. She was many many wonderful things. Each holiday my grandmother would decorate the top of her piano too. She past two April's ago, and I like to believe that each time I decorate my piano she comes to visit and see my work. I imagine her standing there in her sweet voice complimenting my decorating. I can hear her giggle and kind words, because she is just so tickled with my work and how it all looks. My grandmother's love of being a lady and a homemaker of many talents, has carried on into my life. I grew up always seeing the many things she made pretty, lovely, cozy, and homey. I must it write much else for my eyes are feeling up with tears now. So with that said, here are some photos for ya.

 

 

 

 Thank you so much for stopping by COM today.
