vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
Happy Thursday! Today is a really fun blogging day. Especially if you like DIYs, Furniture and Decoupage. I have teamed up with 10+ bloggers to share our best decoupage furniture makeovers. I have been working on my Decoupaged Target Bookcase for a few days, and now I get to show you what I came up with.
Spring is just days away. This year is moving so fast. Blossoms, flowers, and fresh new life is everywhere you look.
Happy Tuesday! I am REALLY excited to share my Spring Inspired Shelf today.
I am inspired by other bloggers such as: Craftberry Bush, Dreamy Whites, and Laughing with Angels. I love their photography, their vision and taste.
After browsing through their blogs and using my own components and creativity, I worked to make my Spring Inspired Shelf my very own.
I am constantly looking at my Spring inspired shelf. There is so much to see.
Each angle brings a whole new perspective. The stick with the nest is a real hummingbird’s nest.
Stacking my tea cups and saucers on my wooden pedestal adds depth and height. Love the marking and detail on the wood, don’t you? Moss also gives a feel of refreshed life.
My bird and moss filled terracotta pot has not been aged by me in anyway, other than using it year after year. The cracks and the patina add to the character of the whole shelf look.
Oh, I really like the bird house. I like the dark, weathered wood and a little bit more moss. Did you see the bird feathers???
Another pot I have had for years. No need to prime or age it myself. The flowers are real. Don’t they look great with moss surrounding them? (I will share my secret with you later this week on how I did this)
Above the shelf hang a small portion of my tea cup and saucer collection. The red cups were hand made and painted by my Grandma. The cup with painted flowers hanging lowest on the left was also made by her. Again, I love the look of fresh green moss for a Spring look.
Did you see the real birds nest in the highest cup? It’s a hummbird’s nest. So sweet.
The saucers were both thrift finds. Aren’t they so pretty?
Here is a closer look at the tea cups. Grandma would smile about this look. She would probably say, “Well, would you look at that Sugar-pie.”
The creamer has a fresh rose and leaves to fill it.
I used one of my vintage bottles as a vase and to add height. Going with the moss theme, I thought it would look good with a little in the vase as well. To keep my flowers fresh, I use these tips.
Spring has sprung in our home over the last week. The leaves are popping out of the branches. The grass looks even greener. And my Spring inspired shelf is set for the season.
I am so happy to have you stop by during your busy life to visit my blog. I read every comment. They always make me smile.
Make it a terrific Tuesday.

Happy First Day of October!! It’s time for What Meegan Makes Fall Tour and I am inviting you along!! I can hardly wait to share my Fall Tour with you. I mixed old and new projects, fresh and fake pumpkins, along with some ideas I can’t resist sharing with you on the What Meegan Makes Fall Tour.
So, whatta you say??? Let’s get this tour on the road!!
Welcome to our Fall Home…
AS you know, I LOVE my book shelves. They are definitely a focal point in our home. I have enjoyed adding some Fall decor to the book shelves and the whole house.
Pine cones and colored marbles in a vessel make me smile. I get the touch of blue I like with the rustic and natural look of the pine cone.
Even a shoe mold needs a little Fall, too. Don’t you think???
Using some blue jars, I am able to add rustic elements for a Fall feel and look.
I LOVE my Gather Banner. It finishes off with such a good feel of soft feathers and again the rustic look with pine cones.
The artichokes are real. They are dried and add a little more variety of color for my Fall look. Filling my gold vase with more blue and turquoise marbles adds color and texture.
Pine cones atop my candle sticks along with a thrifted bottle are a perfect addition the the top of the book shelves. The water can was a gift from hubby. He likes the galvanized look as much as I do. The cloche is a thrift find. Pine cones seem to be one of the main elements in our home, don’t they?
Adding more blue bottles, my bling pumpkin, and more pine cones finish off the whole look of the book shelves.
The chest my grandpa made is topped with blues, greens, oranges, and reds. Don’t you just love the insulator colors???
This cute owl was a great find at Target. He looks cute on a candle holder. Just perfect for the chest, right?
Sitting on my $15 coffee table, I couldn’t have my Fall tour without my book page pumpkin. As you can tell, I like adding the blue marbles and pine cones just about everywhere.
This jar is one of my favorites in the house right now! I had a strand of berries, wadded it up and literally crammed it into the jar. And it looks crazy good!!
Any chance I get, I use my little bird bath. I love filling it with glass drawer pulls, vintage keys, and a ceramic birdie.
Moving towards the kitchen you will see my Grandpa’s croquet box filled with various flowers, leaves and berries. This croquet box is an all-time fave of my readers. I have fun using my creativity to fill it for each season and holiday.
And now we have the kitchen shelves. Since I don’t have a mantel, I love to use these as my mantel. I can honestly say, this is my favorite part of our home right now.
Mixing fake and real pumpkins, with an acorn squash or two, a few berries, more pine cones, and a wreath, I am in Fall Heaven!
The shutter was a thrift find. I brought it home and made it vintage looking. It is the ideal way to top off the shelves.
Can you see why this is my favorite spot??
The acorn squash sets atop a thrifted candle holder. It looks like it was made for it doesn’t it??
Thanks for joining me on What Meegan Makes fall Tour! It has been a treat to have you here and share just a bit of my idea of what Fall feels like to me.
It is always a pleasure to have you here! What are your favorite decorations and colors for this Fall??? I would love to hear all about it.
Thanks, again for visiting What Meegan Makes Fall Tour. I hope you come back again soon.
Make it a terrific Tuesday!
