Spring Tablescape

I am so excited it is finally Spring!  Although the pollen and I are not friends, I still can't help but to look forward to all the rebirth of God's creation.

To celebrate the arrival of Spring, I transformed my dining table into a little bit of nature by simply pulling things from around my house.

This was the before.  I love this look,

but I really wanted something to brighten the room.

Grass, flowers, waterfall...looks like nature to me.

(Sorry,I forgot to use the flash on this picture)

I used the flash here, but as you can see,

 it is before I decided to add my tea set.

Sweet tea set given to me by my sister.

This pretty little set of rose dishes I picked up at the local

 Ross Store for next to nothing.  It screams spring!

Pier 1 find at Easter last year. 

I'm sure you have some treasures in your home that can be pulled

 together to create the special feeling you're looking for. 

Warmly,

Metamorphosis Monday

Lighten Up!

It's March already?!  It's one of my favorite months of the year.  Why?  It means spring is just around the corner.

Spring always reminds me of rebirth. The newness of the season inspires me to 'lighten up'.

It's time to clean out and get out all the clutter. Clutter holds us down and by simply purging and removing it can give us the feeling of freshness that says, 'Spring'!

We can get so emotionally attached to our things, we can't move forward.
Do you find it as hard to breathe as I do just looking at this room?

Replace your heavy drapes with lighter frabric and let in the sunshine!   The first thing I do every morning is open all my blinds in the house.  I love how my house looks and feels in natural light.

New pillows and throws in softer hues will lighten your space. Doesn't this just scream 'Spring'!?  They're from PB.

Try a new furniture arrangement that focuses on the outdoors.  Nobody says that once you have placed your furniture in your room it has to stay that way.  So experiment!   

Fresh flowers. Treat yourself once a week. When I have them in my home, I can't resist touching and smelling them several times a day.  They make me feel 'pretty'!  Is that wierd?

Take time to take a good look around your home. Do you have 'things' weighing you down? Lighten up!

What does Spring remind you of?

Warmly,
