Adding Easter to Spring Decor

With Easter just around the corner, I thought I would add

a few items to my Spring decor.

The mantle got a Rejoice banner and pretty blue egg.

I rearranged the entry table and dining table,

bringing the love birds and eggs under the cloche to the entry.

 

 A pot of lavender and another egg was added to the coffee table.

 

 The hydrangeas moved from the entry to the dining room.

 And a bowl of pretty colored eggs joined the flowers 

"under glass" on the Welsh dresser.

 Outside, I added a little banner to the basket of flowers.

 

Happy Easter!

Fall Tour Complete, I Promise!

This will be the last post on Fall Decorating
as we move on from the living room, into the dining and family rooms!

 This is where I start to add a little color with pumpkins and gourds,

but I still keep a lot of white.

 

 More of my music sheet leaf garland works well with all my white dishes.

 

 I started with a banner as well, but decided it was too busy,

so it was moved into the family room.

 

 I love to use chalkboards, so I added one to the top

of the Welsh Dresser,

 

 and I always keep this one on the door.

 

 This year's basket of gourds, corn and pumpkins.

 The family room is already full of fall colors,

so not much needed in here!

 I like the banner much better over the window.

 Lots of pillows!

And some more random shots:

Happy Fall!

Joining a new party this week:

Burlap Chic Wedding

This was a really fun wedding to do, because it is exactly my style!
Burlap, old windows, white hydrangeas, more burlap...

But the timing was horrendous!
 It was on a Sunday following a big 2-day vintage market!
I was so exhausted, I think I was just running on pure adrenaline!

But it came together beautifully!

The ceremony was held outside.

It was a really beautiful day!

The railings weren't too attractive,

 so we wrapped them in burlap ribbon with big bows.

Plastic buckets wrapped in burlap and filled with baby's breath

 cover ugly outlets.

Tulle and icicle lights adorn the pergola.

Burlap and a lace curtain cover an old table for communion.

Inside for the reception, the decor was simple but adorable!


Each table held 3 gold frames, some empty, some with pretty paper inside,
 and 3 white bud vases, some were milk glass and some just painted white.
They held baby's breath and a single pink rose.



There were also 3 votives, all glittered by the bride,
who also did all the frames and vases.

 
And of course, the burlap table runners with a lace edge!

 
 Simple but elegant!

3 stations around the room announced where
 you could get something to eat or drink:


Drinks



Eats

 

and Sweets!

Burlap banners, rag garlands, and did you notice all the old windows?
The groom's mother had all these and more in a shed!

The bride sent along lots of frames, windows, pictures

 and various odds and ends,

so we filled up empty walls,

 arranged pictures,

and added the various odds and ends,

until it was just right!
