Refreshed!
The snow is blowing yet all I can think about is Spring. I am a fan of Winter, but seeing Spring colours, clothing, and decor on websites like Pinterest and in magazines has me yearning for warmer temperatures!
With that in mind, I felt it was time to start transitioning my home to welcome in bits of Spring (while still keeping a Winter tone as well). I had put my holiday decorations away and the sideboard was literally a blank slate, so what better place to begin this transition?
I began with this piece of art as inspiration and began walking around the house, gathering pieces from other rooms and from my 'store' downstairs to pull this together.
I wanted the final product to feel light and airy with an overall sense of rustic charm, just like the piece of art. I went with lighter tones (greys, blues, creams, greens), natural elements and metallics (to mirror the iron bed).
Here are some of the individual pieces that helped bring the look together....
Silver Stag Napkin Rings, Whitewashed PineCones, Metallic Bowl, WhiteWashed Wicker Tray...
Wooden Tray, Beach Stones, Driftwood, Shells, Tree Silhouette Tealight Holders, Tree Themed Decor
Glass Dome Cloche, Driftwood
Grey/Cream Graphic Print Napkins, Twine String
I then started to put together vignettes...
More Artwork, Silver Antler, Rustic Metal Bird Bottle Opener
Wicker Tray, Vase with Rustic Elements, Napkins, Glass Cloche, Metallic Bowl, Copper Bird
It's coming together.....
And here it is....
The final product of my interpretation of a Wisp of Spring in Winter....
It feels so much fresher and light...and the absolute best part...I didn't have to buy one new thing! All of these items I already had and was able to bring them together in a new, re-imagined and refreshed way!
This is my view as I write this post (with an adult hot chocolate beside me as well).
I hope this inspires you to begin to refresh and re-imagine your space and slowly begin that transition from snow to tulips...
