They are predicting more snow this weekend.

Really?

I am so ready for Spring!

With Winter not wanting to leave yet, I thought I would start to sprinkle a little Spring around the house.

While putting away all my Valentine decorations, I also removed the mercury glass and glittered pine cones from my mantel.

I changed out the mirror too, switching this one...

For this one from our entry way...

I like the way it looks...

To the left of the mantel I had pictures of my kids which I moved and now I am not sure what to fill it in with (trying to use what I already have).

Choice A...

I love this old frame that I "borrowed" from my bedroom...

and choice B...

My NH road trip find.

I "borrowed" this chalkboard from the other side of the room...

Which one would you choose, A or B?

Maybe you have a choice C...I would love to hear your suggestions!

Here is the little bit of Spring that I sprinkled yesterday...

This is my favorite egg that I decoupaged...

As I have been looking at this wall while trying to decide between the frame and the chalkboard, I feel that the wall is too white.

Did I just say that?

It feels boring...maybe because I am tired of looking at the same stuff.

Maybe I need more texture.

 I am definitely feeling the need for some color ~ just a touch.

So I would love it if you would share with me your choice of A the frame, or B the chalkboard as well as your suggestions on how to add a touch of color to this room.

inspired...

In the middle of spring cleaning my nest, I started playing around and made some new vignettes here and there.

I started with my mantel.

Here is what it has looked like for a few years...

I am not kidding when I say a few years (this photo is from 2010!).

When the seasons changed and for holidays I would add a few treasures, but the mirror and the vignettes on each side stayed the same.

I was inspired by the zinc pots I picked up in Brimfield, as well as all the beauty I see in the Jeanne d'Arc Living magazines.

This is what I put together...

I love the vignette on the left...

I love the mirror in the middle...

I love the vignette on the right...

I love it all!!

Besides the zinc pots and the container (from Decor Steals) holding my last bloom from Mother's Day (which should dry perfectly), I used pieces I already had!

I have more new vignettes to show you (and I have some empty spaces too) but I will save those for another post.

I am sharing with Kathleen for White Wednesday, where I am always inspired!

Thank you for stopping by!
