Accessorizing With Yellow And Green.

So, what do you do when you get bored with a room in your house? Well, you move items from one room to another and refresh, right? 😉 Some of the decor items below were in my dining room, and I moved them to my Baker’s Rack in the kitchen.

All the items you see above were purchased from Hobby Lobby for 50% off, score!

Even this little pot was purchased from Hobby Lobby. I filled it with faux fruit from the Dollar Tree.

I showed you these Dollar Tree plates before, as they were on my dining room table. I moved them and decided to leave them stacked on my Baker’s Rack shelf and placed a faux artichoke and grapes in the bowl.

I love this little lamp. I got it at Ross for $6.00.

I love the pop of yellow. Before I had a lot of green displayed on the Baker’s Rack, and it was feeling a little blah, now it seems a bit cheerier now. 🙂

I added a big glass candle holder and placed a green garland inside. Below, I placed faux oranges in the glass containers.

In the foyer area, I made this apple arrangement.

I love the wispiness of the greenery.

Green garden balls are wonderful to use anywhere in your house, very versatile.

Lastly, I will leave you with my front porch. I used to have an outdoor fireplace here, but I moved it to the backyard now that our patio is done. I didn’t know what to put in it’s place, so I placed this chest here and placed pillows on top for a pop of color.

A view from inside the house. 🙂

So, the moral of the story is, if you get bored with items in one room, simply move them to another room and refresh. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! XOXO ~Liz

Tuscan Style Vignettes

Hi there, friends! I hope you had a great weekend! Today, I would like to share some Tuscan style vignettes I created last week.

Ok y’all, I went to Ross last week and found some Tuscan – style jugs. I snatched them FAST and they were VERY inexpensive. I placed them on my Hobby Lobby outdoor table that I use indoors. 😉

I tried them in several different vignettes and thought I would share the pictures. I tweak, tweak, and tweak some more until I get it just the way I like it. 😉

Mr. Roo found his way into the arrangement. I’m really into yellow and green right now.

I found this pretty plate and bowl at Marshall’s last week and placed a French Garden ball into the bowl.

I love these French garden balls and you can buy these at Real Deals.

I tried it two different ways. I 1st placed the plate on a plate holder in one of my wire cake holders, and set the bowl and garden ball inside it.

I then moved it to the dining room table and placed it on a place mat.

I got a Baker’s Rack at Hobby Lobby last week and had fun decorating it.

Faux Pears sitting on a bed of greenery, perfect for Spring!

Here is the top part of the Baker’s Rack.

I’m starting to add bits and pieces of Spring here and there!

Marshall’s has a lot of inexpensive pottery. I bought this pot and dropped another French Garden Ball inside it!

I brought my Tuscan bowl into the vignette and placed it on a wicker tray, added a bunny, and some pastel Easter Eggs.

In the photo below, I was playing around with different ideas and ways to incorporate the jugs into a vignette.

I added a little moss to make this vignette look a bit more rustic in appearance.

I experimented with the jugs and dropped topiaries into each one.

Green, green, green….I’m addicted to the color green! 😉 It’s my favorite color, all different shades of green.

I love cozy corners with lamps…

I even played with different tables, ha!

This table won!

I added this metal Roo and added greenery.

And then added a rustic black mirror above the shelf.

I played with the idea of using a placemat behind the plant to add some texture.

And here is the vignette without the placemat.

Bring on the Spring decor…..

I hope you enjoyed all my “tweaking” ideas. Tweaking is the fun part of decorating, as it allows the creativity gates to open up. The possibilities are endless.;)
Thanks for stopping by!

Side Note: I will be replying to comments here on my blog from now on, it’s so much easier that way. So, check back. 🙂

Wall Vignette

Hi there! It’s time to share a simple wall vignette. I had a blank wall that was driving me nuts, hmm, what to do I asked myself?

Hmm….think, think, think! I know, a Tuscan Style, Rooster-themed wall vignette to go on the wall in between the kitchen and dining room, so that’s what I did! 😉

I love Roosters and found these two pictures at Hobby Lobby for 50% off, so I snagged them just as fast as I could.

I found the wall shelf at Ross for $19.99. It looked Tuscan Style to me, so I grabbed it fast! I don’t see these often at Ross. 😉

I adore these warm colors, and Roosters are so darn cute!

The candle sconces are from Pier 1 Imports.

The Boxwood garden balls are from Tuesday Morning, $3.99 each. I thought it would be fun to place the Garden Balls on the sconces instead of candles.
