Favorite Antique Furniture: Sideboard Dressed for Spring

Do you have a piece of family furniture that you dearly love and wouldn't part with, but just doesn't fit in your décor aesthetic? A piece you can see the potential, but in it's current state ends up in storage or hidden away in some "off the beaten path" spot? Well, here's my story of a lovely piece of antique furniture that had been relegated to the basement for years.

Peter Rabbit and Friends in the Cupboard

Hello Friends, Happy Easter week! Everyone is gathered in the Holiday Cupboard this Easter and spring season in honor of the Peter Rabbit Books. I don't have a big collection of vintage Easter items, but I have a few vintage figures, and some rabbit/bunny figural pieces that I've collected through the years.

Easter Themed Tables and Décor at All About Home #190

Hi Everyone, thanks so much for coming by. Hello to April and Easter Week. It's hard to imagine that March has come and gone and we're now into Spring! Hoping you have beautiful weather and wishing you a wonderful week ahead! Do you have family plans for Easter?

Fun Easter Graphics and Pillow in the Spring Hearth Room

I've loved this Big Bunny Face graphic since I'd seen it several years ago, so when I found it on a pillow cover from Amazon recently I had to have him to celebrate the season. He reminds me of the Peter Rabbit illustrations of Beatrix Potter so many years ago. Realistic, but a little whimsical, too.

Woodsy Cloche for Spring and Easter

A few weeks ago I put together a post with Spring and Easter cloche inspiration. My personal favorites always include not only a focal point, but surrounded with some kind of botanical element like florals, grapevine, bird nests, or moss. Figural elements such as rabbits, lambs, dishes, and graphics are always a beautiful way to create a small vignette and elevate it to visual importance.

Rabbits Run Wild at All About Home #189

Hi Everyone, thanks for coming by. Thankfully we're back to more normal March weather. Still ups and downs but it's been above freezing at night. My forsythia bushes are still alive, but the blooms were knocked out, so none of those brilliant yellow flowering branches, except for the faux ones in my decor. On a family note we were able to spend a fun evening with our sweet little granddaughter and her mommy and daddy. We had been waiting until her vaccinations kicked in for a proper visit. It was great!

Easter on the Farmtable and Vintage Ephemera

Hi Friends, I thought I'd share a quick refresh for Easter out on the farmtable, and a sweet little vintage card that reminds me of Easter graphics from when I was little in the late 50's. Yes, truly vintage!

Easter to Spring Hearth Room Mantel

Last Christmas I found a wonderful framed grainsack with a French sheep motif, and I fell in love. I knew it would be a piece I could use throughout the year, especially Christmas and Easter. As it goes, I've left it up on the mantel throughout the winter and just transitioned my mantel with changeups using topiaries, lanterns and evergreen branches.

Hello Spring at All About Home #188

Hey Everyone! Wow, it's been reaaaaaallllly cold this last week! I mean in the mid-teens overnight and feels more like January than March. Hopefully this coming week is going to be warmer, so we can ditch these horrible night time temps. My massive Tulip tree that covers most of the drive has been decimated this season right as all the amazing pink/lavender blooms were opening. My robins are back in town and they are shivering in their little booties. At this point I'm ready for April and Easter to show up. 

An Easter Brunch Buffet and Cloche Inspiration

Hi there friends, today I'm sharing a chunk of Easter inspiration, because Easter will be here in just a few short weeks. I've been blogging for about 14 years and have a few Spring and Easter posts in the archive that I hope are still current and relevant. I was concentrating on ideas for Easter cloches, so I thought I'd share this one specifically, because it contains 3 versions of an Easter cloche.

Green and Pink and Cottage All Over

Hey Everyone, Green is my favorite color this time of year. Not only outside, but inside. We're having a small "green-up" around here with grass and a few blooming trees, but my tulip tree's blooms were frozen this last few days which is really disheartening. It's still too early for much other green outdoors, but inside I can gather some of my green items and make myself feel like Spring is just around the corner... with no overnight freezes.

March Decor and Recipes at All About Home #187

Hey Everyone, I guess we all have "fallen forward" this weekend. If you're like me it takes me a minute to get myself adjusted. I'm like our sweet little kitties, who just couldn't understand why their feeding time was now being delayed. We're still on the yo-yo weather pattern with temps up and down and nighttime freeze warnings coming up. Welcome to life in Missouri in early March.

Vintage Market Spring Displays

Hi Friends, I thought I'd share a quick post with some Spring-y inspiration from my latest trip to my favorite vintage market in town, The Vintage Peddler. I've taken you there before, so I'll also share a few pics from my last year's spring visit, too. These were with my phone (old) and no natural light, but you can see some of the amazing vintage displays. Love that old wheelbarrow...

St. Patrick's Day Seed Box Vignette

Hi Friends, so glad you came by for some extra special St. Patrick's Day inspiration! Today I'm joining a super fun group of gals sharing some amazing Tablescapes, Vignettes, Crafts, and Irish Heritage posts celebrating "All things St. Patrick's Day." 

16 Creative Easter Ideas and My Moss Covered Cross

Hi Friends, today I'm joining in with 15 other blogging pals for some great ideas and inspiration for Easter decorating. Easter will be here April 9th and I know that now's the time to start thinking about decorating and tablescapes. It's going to sneak up on us being earlier in April, so it will be here before we know it! A special thanks to our friend Rachel from The Ponds Farmhouse for putting this fun group together.
