Spring Phlox and a Chalk-Painted Pedestal


Hello, dear friends! 
Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? I was planning on working in my garden and getting the raised beds ready for planting. But, mother nature has different plans. It's going to be a rainy, cold, and gloomy weekend for us with frost warning overnight. I was getting all excited about the spring-like weather we were getting lately and even visited the local nurseries. But working in the garden is now put on hold until the weather clears up.


I did pick up a few plants while at the nursery such as this pretty creeping phlox. I want to plant them in the front yard next to the ornamental grasses.




Until I can plant them outdoors, I am enjoying these pretties indoors.


Love how the purple phlox looks in this $5 galvanized bucket from Target.


I placed the bucket next to this column pedestal that I recently painted with chalk paint.


Love how the pedestal turned out in two different layers of chalk paint.




The pedestal serves as a table in different corners of my home. 




A perfect surface to create impromptu vignettes on a rainy spring afternoon. 




I love adding spring greens around my home after months of long and dreary winter.


So are you enjoying adding spring to your home decor?
 Before I sign off today, I would like to say thank you to sweet, Maria Elena @ Our Home Away From Home  and the wonderful hostesses of Dishing It and Digging It Party for featuring my Spring Master Bath at their weekly linky party. 
Thanks ladies for your kindness!
Stop by and say hello to them if you get a chance and be ready to be inspired!

Thank you for stopping by, friends!
Until next time, have a lovely weekend!

Spring Blooms and a New Chest in the Dining Room


Hello, dear friends!
I hope you are enjoying your weekend! Spring has finally arrived in our neck of the woods. Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and the sun is shining! And, I am having fun adding spring touches around my house.
Today, I thought I will share with you a new chest I found at Home Goods a couple weeks ago. I have been on the hunt for a small chest to store my ever-growing collection of dishes. It had to be small enough to fit in this little corner of my dining room, so when I happened upon this one at Home Goods, it was my lucky day! It came home with me and I've been having lots of fun playing with it ever since!

I love the distressed top, and the color of the chest fits quite beautifully with the rest of the decor in the dining room. 


I love creating vignettes! And it has been so much fun playing with my new chest :)
I like bringing beautiful spring blooms from the garden to decorate and enjoy indoors. 
The daffodils in my garden are finally in bloom!

A host of golden daffodils in blue mason jars always look beautiful when housed under a glass cloche!


A fleur-de-lis always makes pretty accents in any room decor.

A spring bird nest adds pretty color and texture to a vignette.


And a turned wood table lamp and shade from Target create wonderful height in the vignette.


A pretty corner of my dining room next to the window seat.

So, are you having fun playing with spring?
Thanks for stopping by! It is always a pleasure to have you visit me. 
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Until, next time!
~Hugs, Poppy~
