Poppy Red

I popped in bits of red in the dining room to brighten it up, the yellow was becoming a bit drab.  I am still undecided as to what color I want to paint this room, it's been a while since that was done.  So to freshen it up just a bit, I found these red poppy bowls, the blue and white runner (on clearance, yay!), and the white washed rooster, all at Home Goods. It's a relatively inexpensive way to change a room. I also tucked in some sunflowers and geraniums into my boxwood garlands for more color and to pull my table all together.

 Total cost - $39.00 to change my look.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

I made up an Easter/Spring display across my dining room table, I need something to brighten my mood for the season, the temperature certainly isn't doing that.  I started with a twine runner, and these tall wood candlesticks and faux topiaries that I found at Gabriel Brothers, they are the center piece on my table.  I built the rest of my display from things I had in my Easter/Spring decorations.  You don't always have to buy new things, use what you have.  Although, I will have a lot of uses for those candlesticks!

Carved wood candlesticks- Small 18", Medium 22" and Large 24". with faux topiaries.

This is the front of my display.  Wrapped around the candlesticks are two garlands - Lilacs and a mixed Boxwood.

I started tucking little things into the garlands - A moss covered birdhouse and little bird, a bunny and speckled eggs.

 Sparkly bunny and a small pot of tulips.

Another sparkly bunny and a big bunny, more speckled eggs.

And a bird nest.

This is the other side of the display.
