Hello friends! How are you on this beautiful spring morning? Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!
I am bucking the system and not talking St. Patrick's Day. You can see my St. Patty's decor here.
I have already moved on to Easter decorating but am having some major decorator's block. My kitchen looks like an explosion of forsythia branches, faux eggs and a random bunny here and there. They are not playing together nicely. Coming together more like a clown show which is so not the look I'm going for.

Until I get this mess figured out, I though I could share one of my more successful spring looks from 2 years ago when my blog was just a baby. Most of you probably haven't seen it since I had about 16 followers at the time.
So here goes... may have to do this again this year if I can't bust out of this decorating slump...
On a recent trip to Home Goods (which is a big deal because the nearest one is like 2 hours away!) I found these great huge candle holders that were super duper cheap !. When I bought them I was worried that they might be too big but I am loving them!
I got these little green birds at TJ's for $2 each and didn't even have to spray paint them. :) I saw the same birds at Michaels for $5.99! That's why I heart TJMaxx. :)
I thought they'd look great on my new gianormous candle holders for spring but they were just missing something....
I decided they needed nests, but not the stick kind, pretty, flowery nests. I took some garland that I got for 50% off at Michaels and made them flowery nests.
My twist tie is gold, I'm fancy, huh?!
It's just what the little birds needed. I really like how they turned out... :)

What a cute idea!! The nests are perfect!!
ReplyDeleteAwww these are cute! I love this idea!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love those! The nests are the perfect touch. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteYour flower nests are just perfect. I love the look. Beautiful with the birdcage. Great vignette and super tutorial. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and it all turned out just precious! I remember some old ceramic candle holders I packed away a few years ago - they must still be in the bins in the cellar. Thinking perhaps I should dig them out and spray them and do this sort of treatment. Thanks for the inspiration! And I hope the bunnies, branches and eggs start behaving themselves and work out for you!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cute. I love it!
ReplyDeleteYou know, when I see cute little things like those green birds I think what could "I" ever do with them? I'm just gonna buy things I like, look on line, and somewhere someone will know what I can do with them.

ReplyDeleteOmg, I've seen these items separately in stores but never thought of putting them together. You have amazing creativity, I love them!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute - so springy without being overboard. I'm loving the finds at Home Goods. Wish we had this store in Canada.
