My Vintage Shelves

April 4, 2013 By Meegan 11 Comments

After Easter was over, I decided to change my shelves.  I like to use them a focal point.  They are one of the first things you see as you walk in in our home.  So it is fun to change them up and move things around.  This time was no exception.  I am calling these my vintage shelves because the items look vintage.  They may not really be vintage.  But, it works for me. (hehe)

Actually a lot of these things are either from Hobby Lobby or the thrift store.  Score!!

Would you like to tour my vintage shelves??  Alrighty then, let’s get going!!

 

Vintage ShelvesThey are filled with things I love.

Vintage ShelvesOn the top you will find a finial that I purchased at HL.  Gotta love HL!!  I just love the colors and the aged, vintage look.  The candlesticks are both thrift finds that I painted with a flat white paint.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAThe large frame is usually hanging in the TV Room (which is now an office, a reveal on that coming soon!!)  The stenciled  fleur de lis is a project I hung in the guest bathroom for awhile. For now they look happy on my vintage shelves.

Vintage ShelvesThe bottom shelf holds another fur elise frame, along with an apothecary jar, family subway art (sorry, I don’t know where I got it-I found it long before I had a blog), and a silver candlestick that is a thrift find.  The door knob plate is also a HL find.  Love the color and detail.

Vintage ShelvesI love the feel of vintage with whites, blues, greens, and a little silver.  That must be why I like these shelves so much!!

Vintage ShelvesThis apothecary jar is a thrift find.  I like it filled with dried hydrangeas.

Do you have shelves or a mantel you like to decorate??

Vintage ShelvesThese shelves just make me smile!!  They have the colors, feel, and style I like.

Seven Ideas To Decorate For Easter Using Easter Eggs

March 26, 2013 By Meegan 6 Comments

This year all of our kids and grandkiddos will be spending the Easter at their own homes   That means I don’t need to go all out decorating for Easter this year.

I bought 16 speckled eggs in all sizes. I thought it would be fun and a challenge to only decorate with my speckled eggs and a few other elements I have.

I found all of these candlesticks at the thrift store.  I painted them white.  And now they look adorable holding a few of my speckled eggs.  Wouldn’t they look nice on an Easter Buffet table??

To me, the look of Easter eggs in a tea-cup says,”Spring”.  I added my moss-covered candle holders as a special touch.

The look of a nest in an urn with eggs-simply sweet.

I thought these eggs look like they are being hidden for an Easter egg hunt.  Placing the plant on a candle holder-So simple, but sweet.

This is my fave look.  I used a candle pedestal holding a clear plate.  I added a ribbon around my wheat grass container.  Love the Tiffany blue-just right for Easter.  Using fake grass from 99Cent Only Store, I then added my eggs.  This would make a great centerpiece for an Easter dinner.
