Spring Decor and DIY at All About Home #185

Hi Friends, this week it's "goodbye February and Hello March"! In my head March is early Spring and bunnies and green and anything mossy, start running through my brain. Even with a bit of snow on the ground all things "early Spring" are fair game.

Flowering Bulbs for Vintage Spring Display

When we moved into this house a few years ago, I was so excited to see what kinds of blooming bulbs and perennials might start showing their little green sprouts and beautiful blooms as we approached Spring. Needless to say for such a lovely large yard and landscaping, there were very few flowers or bulbs that showed up. After living here for four years I now know why...

Farmtable Vignette with Daffodils

Hello friends, it's been since the beginning of the year that I've shared what's happening here on the farm table in the Garden Room. It's late February now so it was time for an early Spring look with some daffodils and narcissus with a few pussy willows mixed in for a natural look. It's still wintery looking outdoors, but at least I can have a little green and color indoors.

Hints of Spring at All About Home #184

Hey Everyone, Hello and welcome to All About Home #184. We're heading into the end of February and before we know it, "Spring will have Sprung". We're seeing days in the 60's with a few cold snaps thrown in, and I'm itching to grab some blooming spring plants for some garden-y decor.

Early Spring Garden Tray with Paperwhites

"Spring" starts making it's appearance the day after Valentine's Day around here. Moss and nests, and daffodils and crocuses start peeking out of the ground and I know that inevitably there will be 65 degree days and the promise of green grass.

Lovely Lace Hanging Heart

All About The Love at All About Home #183

Hello everyone, Welcome to All About Home #183!!! Hard to believe that it's Valentine's Day! Did you all have a busy weekend? Between Valentine's Day celebrations and the Superbowl, I imagine many of us were busy with all the fun. We're not football people, but since the Chiefs are from Kansas City, Missouri we thought we'd watch a bit of the last of the game. Have to admit it was super exciting.

 And as always, we thank each of you and appreciate you coming by.

Valentines By Candlelight

Hello Friends and Welcome to the Lifestyle of Love gathering hosted by our friend Cindy, of County Road 407, where today we're sharing how we use candles and candlesticks in our vintage decor. This is an every-other month group where we share how we use topic items in our vintage decor. Since it's just a few days before Valentine's Day I thought I'd share how I use candles and a favorite pair of vintage candlesticks in a sweet vignette.

Vintage Valentine Jewelry and Art

Monday at the All About Home Link Party I featured a post with a wonderful piece of Valentine Art. It was created in the style of antique and vintage art pieces created with vintage jewelry pieces and buttons. Traditionally these were created with a black or dark velvet or velveteen background.  Often times we see these for Christmas in the shape of a Christmas tree, but this was done in a heart design that I absolutely fell in love with.

Beautiful Valentine's at All About Home #182

Hey everyone, Welcome to All About Home #182!!!  I know this is a strange time of year for seasonal inspiration and decorating. Some of us are still in the deep freeze while others are starting to see temps in the 70s. Wherever you are, I hope you're enjoying your early February and have some fun Valentine's Day plans. As always, we thank each of you and appreciate you coming by.

Easy Romantic Vignette on a Tray

Sometimes we want to do a little decorating but don't want to make a huge commitment by slathering holiday decor all around the house. Valentine's Day is one of those times that I like to gather some of my fun vintage pieces but don't necessarily want to cover every surface with hearts.

Valentine's Day in the Holiday Cupboard

Welcome to February...
 let's have some fun in the Holiday Cupboard!
Do you have a favorite place to "putter" with decor? I've mentioned before how much I love playing in this cupboard with dishes and knick knacks. It goes back to my old days of having vintage goods spaces where every inch was fair game to "decorate" for holidays and seasons. Besides, it's good therapy for me to design and create with dishes and ephemera. And since it's Valentine's Day I'm gathering all things floral, sweet, pink, and teensy bits of red!
