One More Bunny ~

Easter | Holiday Inspiration

So our final bunny, is also my favorite bunny. I am very much in the "less is more" state and I think this super simplified guy looks great. 

Simplified Bunny:

Yep, he is my favorite.  I love the colors, the textures and the fact there are only three pieces (except for the bunny of course). So, I hope you got some inspiration either for Easter or really for anything else. 

 

Creating all these bunnies was fun afternoon with my Mom - thanks Mom!

If you missed any, you can see them here, here and here. 

Have a terrific weekend!

Yes, Still More Bunny Love ~

Easter | Holiday Inspiration

Well up today is Radish Bunny, Mr. McGregor's Bunny and Playful Bunny.

Up first, Red Radish Bunny:

I saw these at the store, and instantly had to have them. Yes, I do enjoy radishes, but the bright colors made me feel Spring! I think this would be so great in big bunches down the center of the table. 

Here is our bunny straight from Mr. McGregor's Garden:

Who can resist carrots and bunnies? I mean really!

And last up, Playful Bunny:

This bunny just makes me want to sit at the kids table! The fun cheerful pastel eggs make me want to go and dye eggs. 

Okay, that is 9, just one more...

More Bunny Love ~

Easter | Holiday Inspiration

We are on day 2 of our Easter Inspiration! I am hoping these ideas and/or inspirations will get you in he mood for your Easter table.

Today we have Yellow Bunny, Woodland Bunny and Antique Bunny - are you ready?

First up, Woodland Bunny:

He is another one of my favorites. I love the rich colors and natural beauty of the sticks, nest and moss. And of course all is not complete without a hint of bling (another earring). This is a great way to bring in your own natural landscape right into your decor. You could easily add a touch of glam with a few beaded/jeweled candle holders.

 Second up, Yellow Bunny (I do believe appropriately named):

I think it would be super fun to stick to one color, yellow in this case. Yellow flowers, yellow faux eggs, yellow glittery butterflies, yellow Easter grass - all next to crisp white dishes.

And Antique Bunny:

  I am in love with the vintage postcard which you could easily use in lieu of place cards - The Graphics Fairy has a few great images for download. I think these Victorian-esque eggs are just perfect and the colors are a great match.

Stay turned for more bunnies tomorrow!

My Halloween Kitchen ~

Holiday | Decorating Inspiration

So here is my kitchen vignette all ready to go for Halloween.

I think I officially went a little crazy with spray painted sticks, but here are a few more! It was actually my dead rosemary bush...I was sad that my plant didn't make it, but I love the spookiness of the branches.

A little more of that white pumpkin-Spanish moss-silver.

And my witches legs! I of course would love some mannequin legs to put out by the front door, but for this year, these lovey legs will due.

Did you notice the base? It is the bottom of my dining room table that turned playroom table.

And few more shots from around the house...

 

I just love Halloween!

Halloween Decorating Part 2 ~

Holiday | Decorating Inspiration

Have I told you how much I love decorating for Halloween? I don't know why, but I love it! Here is my kitchen with a little spooky. 

We will start with the side table. 

My Mom recently gave me that fabulous 3-tiered piece... yes, I LOVE it (thank you Mom)! And you can only imagine my thrill to start layering on the Halloween goodness.

I bought a ton of silver pieces at a local thrift store last week to add to my decor. I love how it looks with the Spanish moss and the white pumpkins.

And next to this lovely tower of spook, is this little vignette. 

This guy was got a little makeover with some white acrylic paint and a little glaze.

I made the "Boo" sign with a Goodwill find and scrapbook letters from Michaels. The glittery skull was from the Dollar Tree. I used a coffee filter to give him a little collar and stuck him on a silver candlestick.

Okay, since this is getting a little lengthy, I will show you the kitchen counter tomorrow. Here is a little sneak peak...

Halloween Decorating Part 1 ~

Holiday Decorating Inspiration

 Halloween is officially right around the corner and I have started decorating. Today I will show you our family room - spookified! 

Here is the shelf in our family room. 

I had so much fun incorporating my everyday decor with a little spooky. Do you see the sticks? This is just the beginning of my new stick collection.

I just picked up this skull at a local thrift store for 4 bucks - I just love him stacked on the vintage books!

Here is one of my Dollar Tree projects that I showed your here, and the Toxic sign is also from the Dollar Tree. I simply painted it white and antiqued the edges a bit.

I downloaded this great images from The Graphics Fairy. I just crumpled up the paper and placed them in the vases.

And our mantel - do you see more of my new branch collection? I seriously hunted the greenbelt behind our house. My neighbors are now probably so used to seeing me between the trees - there she goes again! Then I spray painted all of the branches with flat black.

I needed a little filler, so I grabbed these guys.

And a final detail on the fireplace.

I am just tweaking the kitchen a little bit, but will show you shortly!
