Spring Entry

When we moved into the lease house, I realized that there were some decorating spaces that I wanted to reproduce from the other house. Case in point my Entry area. I tried other mirrors and lamps and trays, but always came back to this combination which were used in my previous Entry.



It felt comfortable and gave me a semblance of familiarity and "home". This small dresser isn't as big as the console from the other Entry area, but I was able to place most of my pieces there, and I can change things up just a little for the Holidays and Seasons.




...White clock, silver tray, old books and my lamp.
Still room for a small basket and one of my sheep prints decoupaged on canvas.



One of my little chalk lambs, probably from a vintage Nativity set.






metal sheep bank on old book stack...



The canvas I used for this print was too large, 
but I just did a little tromp l'oeil to make it work.






Just a subtle low key nod to Easter and Spring.
(I have some things to share soon that really do scream Spring)



One thing I did add to the lamp was this tassel cord.
Remember when we had to have tassels on every key and piece of furniture?
OK, maybe it was just me who did that.

Well, this old framed print that you can see in the mirror reflection looks totally wackadoodle, but I'm standing close and there's not much space. The frame looks all warped, but it's not. I looked for a signature but couldn't find one. If you know anything about either one of these prints I'd love to hear. 





Everytime I come back here from the house packing, I have a few decor things stashed in my bag. It's so hard to be packing bunnies and all things Spring in cardboard boxes, when all they want to do is come back here and be "vignetted". that's a new word I just made up for using things in a "vignette". I think all the work is getting to me,  or maybe I just have Spring Fever. probably both.

    1. D, right after commenting I went in the kitchen to talk to my husband and spotted a new catalog laying on the counter. I saw these in it http://www.plowhearth.com/grazing-sheep-lawn-statue.htm and thought of you!

  2. I do love your Spring entry, and so happy you're able to bring new life to a vignette from your home to your new home. BTW, where ever do you get such beautiful prints, if I had seen both of these I would of snatched them up in a hurry! I can understand how the bunnies would much rather be vignetted instead of being packed away. We had two beautiful days here this weekend, and I was out in my garden, it was great to once again smell earth. Don't work to hard, hopefully you're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

  4. You put together a lovely vignette, Debra! I love that mirror and your sheep. Yes, I did the same with the tassels and still have a few hanging around {no pun intended}. : ) It's nice to bring that feeling of "home" into a new space, even if it is just temporary. I think it helps.

  5. I just adore that darling vignette, Debra. It's so spring-like and has such a sweet, earthy feel to it. That shepherd painting is just beautiful! :)

  17. Wow! I would have never known you added any paint to the picture, if you hadn't mentioned it…what a perfect match. Love your vignette! I don't envy you packing to move. I'm kind of doing that too, and it's not much fun when you're not an editor, but a maximalist. Will miss seeing your sunroom.

  18. I love the painting. Any idea for finding something like this?

  20. Hi Debra,
    I have always loved your little sheep collection, and as for the canvas painting it is so very perfect in your vignette

  21. Oooop's it entered before I could comment on the chest of drawers, I happen to also love when a chest like yours is able to be used in varied places, it is a perfect piece to move around and use I. So many ways, I so wish it were mine.
    You have taken your look and pieces and have blended them into your new space wonderfully.

    A perfect spring to you.

  23. I love your vignettes so I for one am happy you are stashing things in a bag to be vingetted. You were not the only one putting tassels on everything. I was just wondering if it was time to take them off or not. Do you think they are out?
    I can't wait to see more spring.

  32. Debra,
    Your entry makes a welcoming staement as the similar decor accessories did in your home!
    I love using a chest of drawers in uncoomon spaces!
    I have an antique one, a gift from my son, in our upper level Living Room.
    The sheep are precious. During Easter, I really connect to the messages of the Lamb.
    Thank you for adding a new word to The Land of Blog. We all need a chuckle now and then!!!
    Hoping Spring is arriving to your side of the Prairie, dear friend!!!
    Fondly,
    Pat
