New Vignettes in the Kitchen

Hey! So sorry I haven't been able to get a post up, between two little ones and trying to keep up with normal every day duties I haven't had a chance to do any new decorating around here. I also have been having an issue with my computer letting me upload my photos, so I had to take pictures with my phone and upload and try to edit online.. I hope they look okay! 

I changed up all of the vignettes in the kitchen on the counter. I get bored with the same look after awhile. I usually end up liking the new look so much better, so its fun to change it up. To the island I added a Tuscan pot that I filled with greenery, a roo from Ross that I put on top of a book to give it some height and a metal tray from Ross.

I have never been happy with anything that I put on this shelf, it's definitely one of the spots that I struggle with. I am loving the way it looks now. I added a Tuscan plate from Big Lots, a roo from Hobby Lobby, an arrangment I made awhile back and two wine bottles to each end.

I removed the greenery from the pot rack, I think it looks better without it. I need to get some decorative pots to hang from it.

For this corner I added a big metal vase that I just recently bought from a friend who was moving, a glass jar and a cake stand filled with greenery, grapes and wine corks.

I really wanted to have more items grouped together rather than spread out, so I really filled this corner. I added a lamp for some height, glass jars, mr. pig, a cookbook stand, a finial and some greenery. 

I grouped the canisters together rather than spreading them out along the wall.

Lastly, I added some greenery to the base of the wine bottles.

I hope you all enjoyed my new vignettes! I created some new vignettes around the house, so I will share them with you soon. 

Have a great rest of the week!

Spring Mantle With A Tuscan Flare

Hey! Sorry I haven't been around in awhile it seems like the days just run into each other and I haven't been doing much decorating around here. I kicked my butt into gear this morning and created a Spring Mantle. As you all know I love the dark rich colors of Tuscan style, so I wanted to stay true to that but add some lighter spring pieces as well. I used everything I already had, so it cost me nothing to create this look love that!

I flanked either side of the mantle with two topiaries, I love the height. I kept my same arrangement and finials just added two moss bunnies on either side of the finials and some faux spring flowers to the arrangement.

Instead of adding candles to the candle holders I put some spanish moss down and added garden balls and a bunny from Pier 1.

Here's the other side I added some hydrangea eggs I made a few years ago to the bird cage and cute little chick from Tuesday Morning.

Here's a closer look at the bottom half. I added a spring wreath to the fireplace screen. I attached it by adding a command hook to the screen and tying the wreath on with floral wire.

Here's a closer look at the arrangement.

 Here's a closer look at the top half.

Well, that's it for today guys! I hope you enjoyed my Spring Mantle! I will be back soon!! 

Have a great week!
