Spring accents

I recently completed a couple of spring projects that I had been planning for awhile. One being a stone pot for plants that sits on the buffet. I painted the pot with texture paint and plan on changing up the contents based on the season.  I am happy with how it turned out! I also made a wreath with a sweet little nest :) I have never really sewn anything, but managed to get the ruffles together.  I am liking it!

New Additions

 I have been wanting a mirror for the dining room for a while now.  I had a beveled, beaded one in mind, but while shopping at Home Goods, found this beauty.  It has the beveled edge that I wanted and a carved frame. I love it!

I also added some green things to our mantel in celebration of March and the coming spring.

 This pillow definitely says spring!  I happened on it while shopping at Big Lots. It is part of the Jessica McClintock line they have now.

 I added a couple of ruffled pillows on each end of the sofa. I found them at Kohl's. They are so soft and were on sale!

Valentine's Day

We made a few simple decorations for Valentine's day.  I cut small hearts out of quilted material, added strings for hanging and was done! Super easy and cute!

 The heart on the mantel was made using a paper heart form and coffee filters.  I added a lace ribbon for hanging at the top. I love, love, love it!

  

Better late than never....

Here are a few Christmas pictures.   I tried to keep it really simple and used a lot of natural elements.
