I’m finally starting to get in a spring-y mood. I’m ready for a little color. I’ve been seeing this gorgeous blue-green color everywhere and I am craving it. I did a faux patina champagne bucket in a similar color and I love it. Some of these trendy pottery pieces can be really expensive though, and I’d […]
Why I felt a blue chicken was necessary.
So a few days ago I shared a makeover I did on a little plant stand. I put a little wooden chicken in with the flowers, but he wasn’t really showing up against the color of the house… so I thought he should be blue. See? Now he shows up against the house. He was […]
Spring planter makeover (& how it looked like Shrek until I added a chicken.)
I know that 2/3 of the country is being ravaged by winter weather, but here in So Cal it has been really mild. So much so that it was time to do a spring planter to put by our front door. A few months back I spotted this guy, just sitting on the curb. He […]
A spring birdcage planter.
On Monday I shared that I would be appearing at my local Michaels store this coming Sunday (just like 99 other Hometalk bloggers across the country) and making fun projects at a Pinterest Party. I am going to be making another project on Sunday, but I wanted to share a fun little project I whipped […]
Chalkboard eggs: an easy (last minute) DIY project for Easter Brunch.
Last week I shared a tablescape for an early Easter Brunch. I realized there was something missing… Place cards. I quickly whipped up a couple of fun DIY chalkboard eggs “place cards” using plastic eggs and chalkboard paint. I know it’s only a few days until Easter, but this is super fast and easy […]
An easy spring centerpiece: Mossy Branch with paper Buds
Yesterday I showed you a tablescape that would be nice for a little Easter Brunch, especially since Easter is coming so early this year. I wanted it to feel a bit like springtime is just beginning to warm things up in the woods… which was perfect, since the big tree in our front yard was […]
Tablescape ideas for an early Easter Brunch.
Is it just me, or is Easter coming super early this year…? I feel like I will have just laundered my green “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” T-shirt and suddenly I will be needing to fill Easter baskets. In thinking about Easter Brunch, I was wondering how I was going to make it happen since I […]
Faux Foil Wrapped Chocolate Eggs
Over the weekend I was feeling a little crafty. We’ve all seen the faux foil wrapped chocolate bunnies, but how about some faux foil wrapped chocolate eggs? (And believe it or not, I did it using foil wrappers from Valentine’s Day chocolates!) Faux? Why? I’ll tell you why… because I ate a bunch of Valentine’s […]
An easy spring craft: golden eggs in peat pot “baskets”
Easter seems like it’s coming so early this year! Why is it in March? I don’t get it. Half the country is still buried in snow, and even here in normally sunny SoCal the weather doesn’t quite feel like spring yet. At any rate, I’m not ready for it. I can’t get on board with […]
Twine wrapped Easter Eggs. (A cute Dollar Store DIY project.)

My friend Angie from The Country Chic Cottage is here to share a fun and timely project with us: Twine wrapped Easter eggs. Hello all! I am Angie with The Country Chic Cottage and I am honored […]
