Easter's On Its Way

Hippity Hoppity Easter's on it's way! I love this time of year. The flowers are blooming, everything is turning green, and it's finally beginning to warm up after all of this crazy weather we've had. So, I wanted to bring some spring inside and have our home Easter ready!

I posted pictures of our mantle to Instagram a few weeks ago, but I've yet to blog about it. I love the vintage spring look it gives.

(I just can't seem to get a clear decent picture of it!)

We (Pop and I) made that chalk board. We got the actual black board part at Lowe's and the frame is made from damaged wood boards that they had on clearance. These worked perfectly by giving a wide and sturdy frame for the chalkboard and adding character to it because of the chipped and skinned places in the wood. We nailed it all together ,and I used a grayish chalk-paint to paint the frame.

For the mantle, I chose to run it long ways and hang a wreath of greenery on it.

To the right and left of the chalkboard, I used old books, more greenery, and these awesome candle holders, which are actually old spool that mom has had for a while. Overall, this décor gives a great neutral spring look.

In the dining room...

I kept the tablescape simple. A lace table cloth with an off-white table table runner that I picked up at Target and simple off-white plates with clear glasses. 

For the center piece, I used a bird cage with this cute nest we've been using to decorate with for spring for years and place it on a layered burlap charger.

Kept it simple at the top of our china cabinet.

On this piece behind our dining table, I carried through with the neutral color scheme, using topiaries, white flowers, and white dishes. It's perfect spring, and the light colors keep the space from feeling over-crowded.

To finish this space off, I added this super cute bunny banner that I also picked up at Target! (If you haven't checked out their Easter products in the dollar zone yet, you need to! They're the bomb.com!)

I'd say we are ready for the Easter Bunny! Hope you all have a wonderful Easter!
