Easter Decorating with Wheat Grass and Other Natural Elements

March 30, 2015


Easter Decorating with Natural Elements

I haven't done much in the way of Easter decorating this year, probably
because we still have things in boxes from when the house was on the
market. I did find a few decorations to place around the house, but right
now my favorite Easter decoration is the mossy basket I recently put
together. You can read about how I did that here.

One nice thing about Easter decorating is that it lends itself to the use of
natural elements such as moss, bird's nests, eggs, fresh flowers and wheat grass, just
to name a few. Most of us already have these items and can put them to
use right away whenever the Easter decorating spirit strikes us.

After seeing my Ballard Designs knock-off dog toy storage bin, the kind folks
at Hometalk asked me to curate a pet supply storage board for them. And since
37% - 47% of all American households have dogs, while 30% - 37% have cats,
I thought a round-up of pet storage ideas might come in handy!

Ballard Designs-inspired hemp dog toy storage bin

Here's my Ballard knock-off that I stenciled myself. It's perfect for
storing Riley's  toys when she's not using them.


And I really love this vintage crate turned cat food storage
container from Gypsy Barn.

Hydrangea Retrospective

March 11, 2015

large leaf hydrangea galvanized tub vintage wire crate

Hydrangeas can be displayed in so many different ways. Each season I challenge myself to find new ways to showcase my fresh cut blooms. I've written so many posts featuring my hydrangeas that I thought I'd pull a bunch of them together all in one place. Hopefully you'll be inspired to try new ways to showcase flowers in your own home.

I can't seem to get this reverse chalk transfer method out of my system ever since I created
the "It is Well With my Soul" chalkboard a while back. Case in point. I just completed yet
